We had a lovely time on... - We had a lovely time on the tour with Celia. Come hungry, there is lots of stops for delicious food. The tour was nicely paced, mostly flat route which made it easy for all parties to stay comfortable.

One of the best culinary tours! - Celia was wonderful and so knowledgeable about the town. Between the delicious food of sausage rolls, Wexford strawberries, Irish coffee, cheeses, chocolates, fish and chips, fish chowder, oyster and mushy peas, we traversed the little town learning about its history and culture. Highly recommend!

Tasty and Interesting Tour - Five of us spent a fascinating 3 hours with Amanda Neri while hopping from one delicious stop to another across charming Kinsale. Amanda is an engaging storyteller in the Irish tradition while giving us background and detail on Kinsale’s history and the various treats she shared. Her warmth, enthusiasm and talent created a connection with us. The tour was a perfect way to get to know Kinsale and favorite Irish delicacies. Getting to know Amanda was a bonus!

Kinsale culinary tour - Just completed the tour with Fran, and I can honestly say it was one of the best experiences I’ve had while traveling. From start to finish, the tour was thoughtfully curated and incredibly engaging. Fran didn’t just guide us through the streets—she brought the city to life through its food, history, and culture.
I came for the food, but I left with a deeper appreciation for the towns heritage and people.
It wasn’t just a food tour—it was a cultural experience that left me feeling more connected and inspired. If you're looking for something that goes beyond the surface, this is it. Can’t recommend it highly enough.

Kinsale Culinary Tour - A great walk through Kinsale with excellent food at various stops. And we learned a lot about the history of that area and Ireland's. Amanda was our guide. Ask for her if possible.

A great experience! - We spent a day in Kinsale and included this culinary tour. We were so glad that we did. We actually ended up with 2 food tours run by Bonner travel, the other was in the English Market in Cork, both were great. Our guide for this tour was Frances and she really made the day special. She reached out in advance regarding any restrictions we might have and tailored the tour accordingly. The tour was extremely well coordinated, and at each stop, we were met with fresh, delicious food. We learned so much about Kinsale. Frances was great and we highly recommend Bonner travel. You won’t regret it!

Lovely Kinsale culinary tour - Our guide was Amanda Neri, she was knowledgeable, kind and funny. There were 6 of us and she got to know a little about each of us plus gave us a history of Kinsale and the food and drink. We truly enjoyed it.
Thanks, Laurel Brown

Kinsale is great when Frances is your guide. - Frances is a terrific guide. She knew everything about Kinsale, information not found in guidebooks or in a “canned” tour. When our tour ran long because we had lingered with great conversations at stops on the tour, she simply called the people at the meadery (also great) to confirm we could arrive later. We feel that we’ve made a lifelong friend.

So happy we booked this! - Love, love, love this experience!! Amanda was our Guide and I cannot say enough wonderful things about her!
The drinks, the food, the conversations were delightful and Amanda was a wealth of information with regard to the history of Kinsale and Ireland. She even surprised us with her incredible singing! She has many talents…including author of a children’s book! I’m so glad we did this tour… I would not hesitate to book this tour!
