5.00Just completed the tour with Fran, and I can honestly say it was one of the best experiences I’ve had while traveling. From start to finish, the tour was thoughtfully curated and incredibly engaging. Fran didn’t just guide us through the streets—she brought the city to life through its food, history, and culture. I came for the food, but I left with a deeper appreciation for the towns heritage and people. It wasn’t just a food tour—it was a cultural experience that left me feeling more connected and inspired. If you're looking for something that goes beyond the surface, this is it. Can’t recommend it highly enough.

5.00Kerry was such a great guide! She loves what she does! We enjoyed the food and the history as well strolled through Kinsale. It was a bit rainy at the start, but the luck of the Irish was on our side. The rain ended and we had beautiful weather! Kerry made the tour so personal and even gave us prints of her paintings. Kerry is a treasure of Ireland!
