Like a private tour with a friend - My wife and I enjoyed our tour with Celia (sp). It was a great way to learn about the town and enjoy great food. Since there were no other guest it was really great to get to know her and the great Irish culture. I would recommend this tour.

Best experience in Ireland - Celia was a fabulous guide, providing history, current info, and fun facts. It was like a pub crawl with a friend you haven't seen in a while.

Thank you Amanda! - Our tour guide Amanda was the highlight of the food tour. She was accommodating to part of the group that arrived late and did all that she could behind the scenes to make sure the tour went smoothly. She even surprised with a beautiful rendition of Irish Eyes. Amanda was very personable and knowledgeable about Irish history and the city of Kinsale.
The food on the tour included some local sausages, Irish coffees , local cheeses, seafood sampler, local chocolates and Guinness. These are all things you can find on your own. It was Amanda that made the tour.
