Francesca was a very knowledgable and amiable guide. She gave us context on the traditional foods and explained why she had chosen specific purveyors. We enjoyed the tour immensely.
I learned so much! Not just about food but also culture, history, politics, art! Francesca was warm and welcoming, and brought her passion for Dublin and Ireland. I highly recommend this tour, and this guide
Our tour with Kevin was perfect. We were a group of 9, 3 generations and some the first trip to Ireland. Kevin did a terrific job of bridging the gap of ages and experiences. He was smart, well informed and held our attention. It was a terrific introduction to Dublin. We would highly recommend this tour.
