He was truly exceptional! His driving skills were second to none, navigating even the trickiest roads and parking spots with ease and confidence. His minibus was new and clean, with ample viewing opportunities. More than just a talented driver, John’s warm personality made our journeys with him a pleasure. He went above and beyond to ensure we felt safe, comfortable, and entertained, sharing Irish history, personal stories and lot of laughter along the way. And he never flinched when asked to snap yet another of our group photographs. If you’re looking for the best tour guide and driver in County Cork, John is the one to choose. He made our days of travels unforgettable!Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. John was a great tour guide! We saw some amazing views while having great company.

We had the best tour of Cork, the Ring of Kerry, Valentia Island (superb hikes and views) ancient sites, stone circles, a wedge tomb and so much more, thanks to John’s knowledge, attention to detail, timeliness and readiness to accommodate when weather or other exigencies arose. He helped us find great places to stay, excellent local food and music and drove us around in comfort for a week. The best way to really see and enjoy beautiful Ireland!

A surprise for my husband and a perfect way to enjoy the Emerald Isle! Than you John, cannot wait to return!!Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. HANDS DOWN... A MUST! John is entertaining, knowledgeable, and goes above and beyond to make you comfortable. Also, he knows everyone & he's prompt... need I say more! We did the Ring of Kerry tour, and got more out of jt than expected. He's flexible, and enjoys the trip with you. IDEAL & PERFECT for a group of 2 to 6 people. Don't hesitate, and just book John! He's booked a month or two out, so I recommend reservations in advance of that timeframe. Cheers!!Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. John was a wonderful guide for our group of 4 on a trip to Cliffs of Moher. He provided information and entertainment for the entire trip. He knew all the best spots in the area as well. Would certainly book again and recommend to anyone.Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We spent 5 wonderful 5 Star days with John touring and golfing. He is professional and extremely knowledgeable. Having a driver made all the difference in our vacation. It was a luxury, but it was also a highlight. We not only seamlessly got from point A to B stress free, but we enjoyed the insights on the towns, sites, and golf courses. I would highly recommend John’s services.Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Splurge and Book John O'Connell for the Best Tour Ever!

We spent 12 days of pure bliss, starting in Dublin and winding along the stunning southern coast, before culminating in the vibrant city of Galway. John ensured every moment was filled with laughter, knowledge, a sense of pure adventure and plenty of eye candy! We were taken to hidden gems and secret spots that only a true local would know. John's expertise and passion for his homeland were unparalleled. From the rich history to the breathtaking landscapes, he guided us through it all, revealing fascinating stories and captivating anecdotes along the way. Whether it was golf, football, shopping, castles, gardens or whatever, John knew who, where and how to make each day truly great. Just take a look at some of the photos we are posting.

Date of experience: July 2023Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Cork Luxury Tours was fabulous for our group of 5! John showed us so many sites and beauty along with helping us with our hotel accommodations and dining recommendations. The new van was spotless and comfortable for 5 tall adults, perfect for taking in the views while relaxing. We are so happy we chose John and highly recommend him for your Ireland vacation. The best part of the trip is not worrying about a thing with John as your guide - always punctual, knowledgeable and flexible to show you what you desire to see that day. Krissy - Virginia, U.S.A.Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Ireland is castles, churches, busy cities, quiet villages, incredibly spectacular scenery, history, Guinness and so much more. If you want to experience Ireland, the best way is with a guide/driver, and the best company is Cork Luxury Travel. We recently spent 9 days with John O’Connell and enjoyed a fabulous tour. John took us to some “usual” tourist sites, but to many more places that only a local guide would know…the detour off the Ring of Kerry to the Skellig Ring and the glen where he grew up, the view of the Cliffs of Moher from the farmer’s field, the Garden of Remembrance in Kinsale, to name a few. John is the quintessential Irishman, with a ready smile, an engaging personality and a great sense of humor. He taught us history, a few useful Irish phrases and how to interpret Irish license plates😀 On a scale of 1-5, we would rate our experience a 10. If you are planning a trip to the Emerald Isle, do consider using John and Cork Luxury Travel. You will not be disappointed!Load more
