1.00The tour did not show case any of the epic cuisine of Kinsale. What a complete disappointment! The food could have come from any pub, and not necessarily a good pub ! It certainly did not showcase the great chefs of Kinsale. It was the low point of our trip.

5.00Our tour guide was Margaret. The tour was beyond our expectations. Margaret is a lifetime resident and was full of information. Margaret was a great story teller, knew loads about the town and was quite familiar with the history. I went with my husband and our friend, Margaret was so warm and entertaining. If you do this tour, try to ask for Margaret, I promise you will not regret it. Thanks so much for making our visit. Kathleen and Pete LaMuraglia and Tammy Milani

5.00What an exceptional way to explore the charming seaside village of Kinsale . Our tour guide Amanda was delightful! She is an amazing storyteller, witty, fun and gave us great insight to the historical and current day Irish culture . Each food stop tasting was delicious and filled with extraordinary tidbits of local history. Kinsale is a beautiful quaint town and this tour is not to be missed! And if you are lucky, Amanda will be your guide!
Great tour and tour guide!

5.00Our Kinsale Culinary Tour was over and above what we anticipated. Our tour guide, was the lovely Amanda who provided our small group with so much history and interesting facts about Kinsale and the surrounding area. The different foods we tried at various restaurants/stores were delicious and each next stop would only be better. Besides the perfectly made Irish Coffey and the back story of how it came to be..the awesome fish and chips dinner and chowder were an added surprise for our last stop. It was such a fun thing to experience and highly recommend this tour.
