Will there be independent tour guides and/or taxis at the port of Cobh that would take us to Kinsale?  I understand there is also a bus in Cork that goes there.   Would a taxi take us to the bus station and does anyone know if that bus would work out?   All of the tours I have found seem to go to Blarney Castle, but we would rather skip that and go to Kinsale and perhaps see some of Cork and Cobh as well.    I cannot find a tour that will do that itinerary.   Any suggestions on making this work during our time in port in July?  

There will be taxis ok, but not tour guides.  The bus to Kinsale is the #226 which leaves from the rear (Horgan's Quay) side of the Railway Station and takes almost an hour to get to Kinsale.  

Yes a taxi will take you to the train or bus station, but you could also use the commuter train which runs from Cobh (just at the cruise ship) to Cork.

If you are here on a Saturday or Sunday during July the bus to/from Kinsale will be very busy, however a taxi will be very expensive.  Perhaps ask Butlers Coach hire about a minivan with driver for the day and get others from your Roll Call to join you?

There is a bank just across the road from the Titanic Experience in the centre of town.  Very close to the 'terminal'.  There is no terminal building so you will need to walk a couple of hundred yards
