""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!""
"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! "
"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."
"Ruairi was an immense tour guide who told us some interesting facts about Dublin and showed us some great places to go to on our trip. The communication prior to the tour was great and gave us plenty of tips about visiting the city. He made sure we were happy with the food we were going to eat and kept us laughing the whole tour.
It felt like going out with a friend which was so lovely and really made our afternoon a great one 😊"
"Our family really enjoyed this tour and had a great time with Ruairi. Honestly, it was like spending the evening with a friend – easy conversation and lots of tidbits about history and things we were seeing along the way. He sprinkled in personal experiences and just made us feel very welcome. And, the food & drinks were great, we liked it all! 10/10."
"Mydie was a wonderful local host! Despite it being a non-traditional booking with just me traveling solo, Mydie was fun, engaging, and knowledgeable about Dublin and the history of Ireland. She has a delightful personality and I truly enjoyed our entire three hours together! Highly recommend for anyone who wants to tour Dublin and the great eating spots for a fun few hours! "
"Ruairi was a very knowledgeable guide. He took us on a 3 hour walking food tour where he explained various history points as we passed by different buildings or landmarks. He was very entertaining as well by sharing some of his own personal experiences. We overall had an amazing time, had great food and great conversation. We highly recommend booking a tour with Ruairi you won’t be disappointed! Appreciate all of the the expertise he has in the area and relationships with the various establishments that he has with them, it truly made the experience such a great time. We would absolutely rebook with him!"
"Great tour! Just our party of 4 with our tour guide Mydie who was wonderful! We did a leisurely tour for 3 hours with lots of great food and lots of great history. A wonderful way to see the sights of Dublin and all the history behind it. We ended at a pub for a pint which was the perfect finish. Would highly recommend, thank you Mydie!"
"Highly recommend this tour! My husband and I almost always do the 10 Tastings Tour when we first get to a new city, as we find it's a great way to get acclimated to the city. This was exactly the case here. Mydie did such a great job guiding us around her home and showing us some excellent bites along the way. "
