Tour was a nice mix of historical sites and time to enjoy the delightful town of Kinsale. Our bus driver was pleasant and very knowledgeable about Cork and its history as well as the sites visited.
Kinsale is not that great of a town unless you love seafood.
very pleasant enjoyed myself liked the Halloween theme at the castle
