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!

Must-do - A not-to-be-missed tour if you are spending time in beautiful Kinsale. Amanda, our tour guide, was bright, funny, and a very talented singer! She shared interesting history about the area while we tasted some amazing local fare.

A Beautiful and Delicious Day in Kinsale! - Four of us had only a day to explore Kinsale, and we were very fortunate to have chosen this tour. First and foremost, our tour guide Kerry couldn’t have been nicer, more interesting, and more knowledgeable! Each of our five stops offered a different tasting experience - in each case, a table was waiting for us and we were offered a special selection of delightful food and drink. The tastings were all very local and very fresh, and memorable. In between stops, we were able to explore the beautiful and historic Kinsale in a relaxed fashion, with Kerry’s warm conversation and informative descriptions. Definitely the best way we could have spent our day in Kinsale!

Enjoyable and delicious tour! - We had a family group of 9 and Amanda was our Guide. We thoroughly enjoyed our tour and learned so much about the town's history as well. Amanda was very friendly and lively. Now that we know the proper method, looking forward to some Irish Coffee!!

So much more than a food tour… - I wish there was a way to rate this as a “10-star” excursion — it was one of the best tours I had during my entire two-week trip to Ireland.
Our tour guide was Amanda. She will likely begin her spiel telling you she’s a sort/kinda introvert — don’t believe her for a minute! She’s outgoing, funny, friendly, warm, and just a joy to be around! She kept us moving and laughing for the entire tour.
The food? Yes, the food! Sausage rolls, Irish coffees, seafood, cheeses, chocolates…each at a different restaurant ranging from historic sites to new places — a perfect balance of new age and old school.
I’m not going to ruin the surprise, but I will tell you to have your phones to set record video when you make the cheeseboard stop…that’s all I’m saying!
Pro tip: At St. Multose Church, double-dare Amanda to pull the bell tower rope!

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.
