    I used to work in the travel industry in Cork for many years, the ones I would recommend most would be Cork based Travel Counsellors (home travel workers) Sarah Mc Carthy or Mary Foyle http://www.travelcounsellors.ie/ or alternatively if going for a city centre agency I'd go for Heffernans Travel on Pembroke St (at the side of the GPO).

    booked our honeymoon (few years ago now) with Heffernans and while everything was fine we had a terrible flight home and I wrote a letter to Heffernans, never received a reply. Bad form I felt. Note: this was in the Douglas shop (which is now closed).

    try trailfinders in city center, I have used them for a few trips and find that they are very good and their price is always better then I can get myself on line.

    I would just check to make sure that they have a phone number during evening and weekend hours in case of emergency. If you are travelling on the west coast of the US and something goes wrong the office here would be closed for the day as you are getting up for the morning due to the 8 hour time difference.

    Had the same experience myself organising a trip to Vietnam this year with Trailfinders, very easy to deal with as well.
