Highlights

This tour is a unique way into the local community of Kinsale where visitors can sample the best of Irish local handmade produce. Our guides are passionate about Kinsale, its history, and its people.

  • 5A Kinsale food experience not to be missed!

    We absolutely loved walking and sampling high quality food through the beautiful town of Kinsale with Kate as our guide. She was very knowledgeable about the town as well as the food and drink that we sampled and the people who owned the establishments that we visited. We highly recommend not missing out on this fabulous event!

  • 5First experience in Kinsale

    Our tour guide Margaret was extremely knowledgeable, personable, and took the time to not only explain the history of Kinsale, but also the history and background of the venues we visited. Having a local be our tour guide was a huge benefit as many locals said hello to Margaret and knew her well. Thank you Margaret for being so kind and welcoming. We will surely look you up when we return to spend more time in your wonderful village. We highly recommend the tour.

    What a fantastic culinary tour! Our guide Celia was knowledgeable, witty and passionate about food and the local history and culture. As we walked through the colouring streets of beautiful Kinsale, every stop came with an interesting story, lots of laughs and plenty of delicious food. Thank you Celia!

    Celia was a wealth of knowledge and immediately felt like an old friend. Wanted to say let’s stay in touch but I know she couldn’t possibly do that with all the tourists. She was just lovely.

About Cork

Cork is Ireland's second city, a river town of steep lanes, a covered market, church bells and a strong food reputation.

Cork centres on an island in the River Lee, with channels of water, bridges and a mix of Georgian streets and Victorian shopfronts. The English Market, a covered food hall that dates to 1788, sells fish, cheese, spiced beef and baked goods. St Anne's Shandon has a tower topped by a golden salmon, and visitors can ring its bells. St Fin Barre's Cathedral rises in the French Gothic style.

Top-ranked sights in Cork: Blarney Stone, Kinsale, The English Market.
