So Delicious
Grainne was our tour guide, really knows her stuff, and is able to communicate it most interestingly. She did keep us waiting a bit for the first food, but then OMG, it was so delicious! She structured it as a 3-course meal with appetizer, entree, and dessert. This was so clever. Eat and walk. Alcohol was provided at every one of the 3 food stops. Eat and walk less steadily. When we got the entree, we had a choice of fish or 2 types of meat. These were full servings, so if you go, make sure you’re starving! Grainne is charming and very compassionate to her guests, adjusting the food and beverages to the desires/likes/fussiness (me) of the clients.

The Best Tour Guides
Grainne is one of the best tour guides we encountered in Ireland. Her contagious attitude paired for her love of her country is unparalleled. We had a great time on the food tour sufficiently stuffing ourselves and getting a great lay of the land. Do a food tour on the first day as it is the perfect way to get to know the city you’ll be exploring. We highly recommend and it was a great value.

The best Food Tour
We had a blast! It is THE BEST food tour we’ve been on, all thanks to our local guide Grainne. From the first moment you meet her you can tell that she is one intelligent woman who has a lot of knowledge to offer about Irish history and culture. She is a great storyteller and as you trek through the city to each food destination she stops at points of interest and shares an anecdote. Every food item presented was delicious, delightful and revealing of the Irish culture. I feel that for what we paid this tour is money well spent.
