Best tour in Kinsale - Our 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

Kinsdale culinary tour - delicious and entertaining - What 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!

Big disappointment!!! - The 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.
