"Every time we visit a new city we start out with a with local tour guide. In Dublin we chose Mydie to be our guide. She did a fantastic job! Being raised and living in the area really brings an insightfulness to the tour that others may lack. She is thorough, passionate, and very friendly. We enjoyed our time very much with Mydie. Thanks Mydie! "
"Ruairi was absolutely fantastic! He met us at our hotel and proceeded to give us a tour rich with history, stories, and lots of laughs. Ruairi treated us like long-lost friends and made us feel very welcome. He provided us with a great orientation to Dublin as well as other recommendations for the rest of our trip. We highly recommend Ruairi for a super tour!"
""Our 10 tasting tours were the highlight of my wife’s and my recent trip to Ireland, and that was only possible thanks to the truly outstanding guidance of Ruairi, our guide. Always brimming with knowledge and wit, he took us to a stellar selection of culinary delights, expertly catering to both my omnivorous palate and my wife’s pescatarian preferences. We laughed well, deeply, and often, and left thoroughly in love with Dublin through the lens of Ruairi’s tales and the delicious food. We would highly recommend this tour and guide to anyone journeying to the Emerald Isle. Sláinte!""
"We had the most amazing time with Ruairi. A great guide with all the local expertise and knowledge you would expect. This is how you really get access to a city and the stories of the people. Don’t miss!"
"Ruairi knows everyone in Dublin and this adds to the experience of the food tour for sure. He has his favorite pubs and tables, even shared some whiskey with us! He was extremely flexible to our tastes and changed the direction of the tour as needed to our preferences. Highly recommend Ruiari for your Dublin food tour! "

We had a great walking tour with him and learned a lot. Pick him if you want someone full of energy and passionate about sharing stories about his country! "
"Derek, was local, gave us insights into not only the history of Dublin but what it is like living in Dublin today. Great guide, would recommend. Cheers"
"Ruairi was a great host. We enjoyed a variety of local foods and got a lot of inside information on the buildings and neighborhoods we visited. Ruairi was very personable and adapted the stops and the amount of walking to fit our interests. We were hoping for a true local’s perspective on the food and on the history of the area and Ruairi delivered very well on both counts."
