Free Rebel Tours - Tour Guide in Cork

Welcome, but some friendly advice first: Want something a little deeper than another city tours? I'm an actor, teacher, polyglot (speak 9 languages) and a lover of history, books and ideas. If you just want to take photos to put on social media, have little interest in history and really don’t like walking, then PLEASE BOOK A DIFFERENT TOUR!!! If you are intellectually curious and like to think and discover, then let me take you through the streets of Cork - the Real Capital of Ireland.

I’m Ayoub, founder and guide of Free Rebel Tours in Cork. I have super international background, having lived in Ireland, Slovakia, Spain, Morocco, Italy and some other places. I speak 9 languages fluently and have visited almost every European country. This allows me to connect with visitors from all over the world and make the tour accessible in multiple languages. I am a teacher a professional actor with experience in film, television, and theatre, including performances with well-known actors such as Samuel L. Jackson (The Office), Samuel L. Jackson (Pulp Fiction) and Kristofer Hivju (The Game of Thrones). My theatrical training influences the way I run tours: storytelling and interactive engagement make Cork’s history and culture come alive. Visitors often comment that the tour feels lively, personal, and very human. I started Free Rebel Tours because I noticed a gap in Cork for tours that combined history, culture, food, and interactive storytelling. My goal is to show the real Cork – from the university to the English Market, Shandon Bells, and hidden corners – in a way that is informative, engaging, and enjoyable for everyone.
