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!

You won't regret taking this tour! - Our Kinsale Culinary Tour was over and above what we anticipated. Our tour guide, was the lovely Amanda who provided our small group with so much history and interesting facts about Kinsale and the surrounding area. The different foods we tried at various restaurants/stores were delicious and each next stop would only be better. Besides the perfectly made Irish Coffey and the back story of how it came to be..the awesome fish and chips dinner and chowder were an added surprise for our last stop. It was such a fun thing to experience and highly recommend this tour.

An inside view of a gorgeous place - Kinsale is the epitome of Irish coastal towns - it has a warm welcoming spirit, beautiful location, great food and great people. We were blessed to have Margaret be our guide, but really she was like a long lost friend. For well over 3 hours she told stories, introduced us to friends and showed us awesome nooks and crannies of this special place. And the food is as good, actually better, than you’ve heard. We left not only with warm memories and full stomachs but with a great new friend. Slainte!

Kinsale Walk, Food & Great Conversation - We had a wonderful walk and lots of
Conversation with Celia. The food was very good and varied representation of what Kinsale has to offer. The sausage rolls were delicious and the cake and Irish Coffee. Waiting to enjoy our chocolate for when we are less full! We also learned more about Kinsale than we anticipated and got some recommendations for shopping and later entertainment!

To think we almost missed this wonderful experience . . . - I would give Cecelia, our tour guide (and new girlfriend) a five star rating. She took us all around town, providing 5 different culinary experiences. We loved the Irish coffee, frosted with an inch of whipped cream. She talked about the town and Irish food customs and likes, and she was genuinely interested in hearing from us. The only reason for the 4-star review is that Viator was overly communicative. About one hour before we were scheduled to meet, I was notified that our tour had been cancelled, but it turned out they were referring to a cancellation I had made the month before when I discovered we were accidentally double booked. It was very confusing and we almost missed this wonderful experience. Thank you, Celcelia!!
