Private food tour of Dublin was amazing. Our guide Jose was excellent. I loved taking the pre-tour survey and feeling like our itinerary was made just for us. We also got to make changes day of due to Jose’s flexibility. Thanks for a great time with our very short stay in Dublin! Booked and found on Viator

The guide was very informative and friendly. We thoroughly enjoyed our time together touring Dublin, seeing all the sights and hearing the rich stories. The guide is a lifelong Dubliner and was extremely knowledgeable and funny. A great storyteller. I finally learned how to drink a Guinness properly.

We enjoyed a lovely time with Aurora! From a technical perspective, she communicated well before our visit, getting our interests and food preferences. She met us at our meeting place promptly and with a smile. She spoke clearly with excellent English and was very easy to understand. She walked at a comfortable pace and showed us exactly what we were hoping to see. We enjoyed numerous culinary adventures - from gur cake with Irish coffee to Irish stew and our first in-country Guinness to smoked fish and chips. We learned a bit about each tasty treat. Aurora's sense of humor, playful nature, and engaging personality made our experience so wonderful. We highly recommend this tour!!
