Discover Cork, the 'City of a Thousand Welcomes' with our experienced, local guides who share their passion and knowledge of their beloved city.
Our tours are designed to bring people together, with a mission to deepen human connection through storytelling and food (and drinks, of course!)
The tour wanders through Cork's famous food and beverage market, the English Market, in operation since the 18th century. Here guests get to meet and chat with local traders for a bit of 'the craic'( Irish for fun)
Cork Culinary Tour takes in the very best the city has to offer. With pre-booked tastings of local award-winning cheese, mouthwatering seafood fresh from the Atlantic, handmade Irish bread, gourmet country sausage, and more, all washed down with a creamy stout.
The tour finishes in a relaxed heritage pub where guests can enjoy a relaxing local beverage of choice.

5.00Our family of 3 adult couples loved the mix of learning about the town of Cork - the history, architecture and current culture - with all the delicious foods! The Irish coffee was tasty as were the chocolates, pies, sausage and fish. The strawberries were superb! Our bellies were full and our faces hurt from smiling and laughing so much. Celia was an excellent guide!
Wonderful Food Tour

5.00What a delight! Frances was so warm and told wonderful history and stories of the city. The food was wonderful and well curated for the tour. I loved that she knew the vendors so well and made everything feel familiar, she also gave wonderful suggestions of what to do after the tour. We had a broad spread of local delights- meats, fresh seafood, cheeses, fruits, meat pie, beer...we left completely stuffed! Would absolutely recommend!
Yummy tour.
