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!

Kerry was such a great... - Kerry was such a great guide! She loves what she does! We enjoyed the food and the history as well strolled through Kinsale. It was a bit rainy at the start, but the luck of the Irish was on our side. The rain ended and we had beautiful weather! Kerry made the tour so personal and even gave us prints of her paintings. Kerry is a treasure of Ireland!

Amazing and Delicious Intro to Kinsale - Amanda was fantastic- full of knowledge and insights…and a few surprises! We’d been to Kinsale 20 years ago and loved it but this was an amazing way to really learn about the history and modern life in Kinsale. Food was plentiful but not overwhelming. We’ve been on many good tours and I’d rate this one highly!

During this tour, my... - During this tour, my family and I learned of the wide range of flavors that can be found in Ireland from deliciously crispy sausage rolls to creamy seafood chowder along with homemade Guinness brown bread. We also learned about the complex, interesting history of the small town of Kinsale and Ireland as a whole. Our tour guide lead us as we meandered through the narrow, colorful streets of Kinsale packed with shops, restaurants, and a kind Irish culture. Overall, this tour was the best way to truly soak in the beauty, flavor, and history of Kinsale. I would definitely recommend this tour to a friend or anyone who wants to elevate their experience in this beautiful town.

Delightful and delicious! - If you’re headed to Kinsale you MUST do this delightful and delicious walking tour with Amanda as your guide. She is so special - entertaining with darling Irish hospitality and wit. The walking was leisurely enough for my mom but also fun and interesting for my young adult daughter. Just perfect! How can you beat Irish coffee in front of the fire or fresh seafood across the street from the water?! So memorable!

Enjoyable walk with good local food - The tour gave a us a really good history of Kinsale and the key events in its history. Our guide was very good and knowledgeable and the walk was at a good pace. We got good advice on where to eat and shop and for other activities. The tasting of local foods was most enjoyable and the seafood at end was excellent.
