    What a great way to learn about a wonderful city! Ann was our guide, and she was terrific! Not only did we sample wonderful food and drinks at a variety of places, but we learned so much about Dublin’s history and culture. Our group was only three, so we had a relaxed, intimate experience. This was a perfect introduction to Dublin!

    Great way to get to know Dublin! Francesca was very knowledgeable about the history of Dublin, and gave us a fun walking tour along with an assortment of delicious local foods. Highly recommend as a way to get to see the city and decide how to spend your time there!

    We had the best food tour with Ann. Not only did we get to try a lot of tasty food and drink, Ann shared a lot of important history about Dublin and Ireland and personal anecdotes, too. In our experience, it's the host who makes the food tour and Ann was the star of the show. Thanks, Ann!

    Anne was amazing , so personable and lovely . Couldn’t have asked for better! She gave us a bit of history but kept the trip nice and light and not overloaded with information .

    I refuse to do any other tours except food tours! Our tour guide, Ann, was wonderful! She grew up in Dublin and knew both sides of the city so well. It was nice to get little breaks from walking by having a delicious bite or drink. The walking wasn't too much either. Ann of course talked about all of the important spots to hit and the history of the area, but she also highlighted a lot of things that locals enjoy or different events coming up to look out for. She made the group very comfortable with one another that it was hard to part ways after a wonderful 3 hours! When we go back, we will definitely book again!

    This tour was so informative and delicious. Our guide Ann was incredible-she had so much knowledge and even shared some recipes with our group. We were able to sample a wide range of Irish dishes and learned so many things about the Irish culture. Highly recommend including this in your trip to Dublin.

    We loved the Secret Food Tour in Dublin! The food was AMAZING - and you get a lot of it. Believe me, I was so full! It was super easy to find Tom, our tour guide. And, he was FANTASTIC! He not only shared tons of history with us about Dublin but, was very friendly & professional. I would definitely recommend this tour!

    Caroline was a great guide! The tour was our first planned activity after arriving in Dublin. She provided us with a lot of history and information that was helpful for the remainder of our visit. We all left full and enjoyed the different foods. It was a great way to start off our trip! Caroline even treated us to some local chocolates. We had a group of 9 with ages ranging from 14-72 and everyone enjoyed the tour and food. Caroline did a great job answering all of our questions!

    Our great trip in March of 2020 was led by Noel, who was a fantastic storyteller. He shared so many stories of the Characters of Dublin, and exposed us to some amazing food & drink. The Dingle Ice Cream is a MUST!

    My wife & I took our first food tour ever on 12/07/2022. I was a little skeptical on the overall value but any doubt quickly went a way. Our guide (so sorry I forgot her name) was GREAT!! The stops were well thought-out, the food was great, and the random tidbits of history, & local information were fascinating. I will defiantly be booking another tour on our next adventure. We would 10 out of 10 recommend!!

    We absolutely loved our time with Ann! She was an excellent host and shared all sorts of fun information about the beautiful city of Dublin. Our tour stops were absolutely delicious. Highly recommend a tour with Ann while you're in Dublin!

  • 5/5 Gad S. 7 months ago on Google
    We add a great tour experience with Ann. We were a group of 8, enjoying Ann's knowledge and humor. Great stories were combined with special locations and wonderful Irish food. We recommend doing it to know the city and it's people.

  • 5/5 Lella E. 1 year ago on Google
    We booked a private tour with Ann and it was amazing. Anna was able to make it very personal and gave us so many recommendations that really added value to our visit to Dublin. Whe also introduced us to some lovely Irish food, and there was a lot of it. We felt that we had made a new friend in Dublin.

    What a great way to kickstart Dublin! So glad we added this to our wedding registry! Ciaran was an absolute fantastic tour guide. He showed us all the spots, gave us all the history and included a lot of fun and laughs along the way! Highly recommend this tour to anyone. Come on! Who doesn’t love food.

  • 5/5 michelle k. 1 year ago on Google
    What a fun tour with our wonderful guide, Tom! We really enjoyed tasting traditional Irish foods while walking around Dublin and learning about Ireland. We highly recommend this tour!

  • 5/5 Caroline C. 1 year ago on Google
    Ann is an excellent tour guide, friendly, funny and has a lot of knowledge about Dublin. The food stops are fab. Lots of variety. It’s a great way to see the sights of the city, get some walking in with a local and have food and drinks!

  • 5/5 Robert P. 1 year ago on Google
    This was our first trip to Ireland and what a way to welcome us is with a secret food tour. Our guide, Ann, was fabulous and knowledgeable with the City of Dublin. Ann took us to places where we would have never gone to if she didn't tell us....we even went back to several places later on our vacation. During the tour, Ann took out her "Superman's Cape" and aided a poor woman who fell to the ground. I highly recommend this tour and definitely request Ann. Robert and Tammy Powers from PA. .

    Had a great time on this tour. The guides were very knowledgeable. The food was good.

  • 5/5 Ciaran Patrick R. 1 year ago on Google
    An excellent experience for all ages. I can't think of a better way to dig into a countrys culture then via it's cuisine. Food brings people together and offers comfort and as for our Guide Anne, a true testimony to Dublin and Irelands history. Thanks!

  • 5/5 Carl M. 5 years ago on Google
    An Irish culinary adventure!! I had the privilege to take the food tour on a busy summertime Saturday in this majestic city. Here are my thoughts about the whole experience... The Company & Staff The professionalism of this company starts from the booking process. You’ll get your email with all the details of the tour and meeting location in pdf form plus the customer service is always there to help if needed. I arrived a little early and met Cal the tour guide before the others in the group arrived. Cal was a super interesting guy with lots of useful information throughout the whole tour he gave a little history lesson on every walk between each place we where visiting. He also took the time to speak to everyone and made the experience super fun with his anecdotes about the culture and city. A big part of a tour companies reputation is based on staff and Cal excelled in every area throughout the tour. Breakfast We started at a local craft department store of all places. It’s actually one of the most famous stores in Ireland promoting Irish products from small suppliers. Not many people know but they have an amazing cafe upstairs serving local food and here we tried a potato cake & black pudding. Now when in Ireland a must is to try the potato cake it was fantastic. The it’s super busy with both locals and tourist alike so made for a great start. Whisky After a stroll through the one of the oldest parts of the city we came to our next stop. The Celtic whiskey shop is one of the finest whiskey stores in the whole world with one of the best collection of whiskey from around the world that I have ever seen. They have a whiskey here from the 1950’s that’s €20,000. While here we were introduced to vast array of different local whiskeys that in my opinion was some of the best whiskey I have ever tried but the icing on the cake was a white chocolate whiskey infused liqueur.... wow wow wow it was something special. I had to go back to the store after and purchase one for myself. Lunch Took us to the Hairy Lemon. This for me was one of the most Irish places that we went to on the whole tour. The place it’s self is a typical Irish pub that serves great home made food and from three choices I went for the Guinness steak pie. The pieces of beef where so tender and the depth of flavour from the Guinness elevated the dish to the next level. The Hairy Lemon is a particular place and a must on the tourist trail while in Dublin they also play live sports, the staff are some of the friendlies in Ireland. Ice Cream Now... who can resist ice cream? Especially artisanal ice cream? well after a short walk we ended up at Murphy’s place, this handmade ice cream is something special. They specialise in unusual flavours from sea salt to brown bread. all their sorbets are made from collected rainwater, a nice way to save the environment. Fish & Chips - Local Cheese An so we arrived at our last stop on this culinary journey around the city. Leo Burdock’s fish & chip parlour near temple bar is the most famous fish & chips place in the country and while this dish is famous in both England and Ireland they had something a little different to offer here. Smoked battered fish and chips and being British I have been eating this fish all my life and I have never had it smoked... What a revelation from now on I’m going to seek out places that smoke their fish first. Our last little surprise was some local cheese that Cal brought along. both cheese’s where amazing but I have to say that the blue cheese washed in sea salt giving it a delightfully edible crust was out of this world. To sum up I have to say that this was an incredible food journey around Dublin visiting places that I would have never found alone and at the end of the tour I was absolutely stuffed for the whole day. I think that’s a great indicator of the tour it was perfect. I will definitely be coming back with friends to do again. I highly recommend that you take this tour you won’t regret it.

    Chris was an AWESOME guide! Very nice and knew lots of fun facts and secrets to share about Dublin. Definitely would recommend a tour with him if you are looking for some great info on all there is to do in Dublin!

  • 5/5 Crystal J. 4 years ago on Google
    I truly enjoyed my Secret Food Tour in Dublin! I found a few places I likely wouldn't have while exploring on my own. Our tour guide was friendly and informative, and the tour extended so far beyond just learning about Irish cuisine. Prepare to do some walking and allow about 3-4 hours to comfortably enjoy the tour without rushing. I highly recommend this tour!

  • 5/5 Harold L. 6 years ago on Google
    We are culinary students who tried this food tour for our educational trip. So we booked in your Dublin Food Tour. We gained knowledge in all aspects both historically and gastronomically. Our guide was fantastic he was able to impart us all the different kinds of Irish dishes. I personally like their one of a kind ice cream. I’m happy to be part of the tour guys! Well done!

  • 5/5 Emmy S. 5 years ago on Google
    This is food tour consists of going to different shops, pubs, and restaurants. They all offer very local food and items. The variety of dishes we tried was perfect. It's fun, engaging and informative. It had lots of tips and suggestions for enjoying the rest of our trip and gave us a detailed summary of where we ate and recipes.

  • 5/5 Kim F. 5 years ago on Google
    It was a fantastic day! We joined the tour during the preparation of St. Patrick’s Day and it was green everywhere! Good thing it’s my favorite colour. Anyways, we started our food tour on time and finished it on time as well. The guide was so organised and he made sure that everybody understood all the details that he’s talking about. He’s very considerate with everyone and asked our opinions in every dish and spot. I love this tour so much and I’m willing to do it again in another city.

  • 5/5 Doug P. 6 years ago on Google
    Dublin is a very stunning city. Everything is so vibrant and colourful. The people are also very polite and hospitable. This tour took us to the best food stops and not so crowed hidden spots that a picture friendly and selfie worth it. Now, Dublin has become one of my favorite cities in Ireland. I'm really looking forward to eating their food again.

  • 5/5 Anissa H. 2 years ago on Google
    I started my very first trip to Ireland in the very charming city of Dublin. We went on a food tour with Secret Food Tours on our second day and our guide was Daniel. He was very kind, professional and knowledgeable of the history of Dublin and it’s historical landmarks. We started the tour with a traditional Irish breakfast and then we proceeded to a cheese shop. We then had a delicious grilled cheese and then made our way to an ice cream parlour. Next on our tour was a pub that had live music and we had some amazing clam chowder and a succulent beef stew with a side of mashed potatoes. We finished off the tour with an authentic Irish coffee. I highly recommend Secret Food Tours and a huge rave to our guide Daniel.

  • 5/5 Courtney H. 2 years ago on Google
    Loved this tour with Noel so much! My cousin and I took a private tour and can't recommend it enough. We had some really delicious food (the best fish and chips I've ever had, gin and tonic ice cream, an amazing cheese tasting at an incredible gourmet market, a creamy chicken pastry dish), and learned so much from Noel. We had a ton of questions and he was happy to answer them. We did the drink upgrade which I'd highly recommend as well - we had such a delicious Irish coffee that you won't want to miss. We miss Ireland and Noel! Can't wait to go back.

    I personally love doing the Secret Food Tours Dublin. This time I did it with my Girl friend. We signed up for Dublin food tour. I like the traditional dishes and Irish desserts. Our tour guide taught us the history and culture and its vast variety of food. Overall, the food tour is awesome. Thanks a lot!

  • 5/5 Eileen W. 4 years ago on Google
    Roisin was a fantastic guide during our 'Secret Food Tour' in Dublin in July 2019! We tried so many delicious local dishes and learned so much about the history and ingredients of what we ate! We also got an email afterwards with valuable info on what and where we ate, and additional recommendations too - what a great personal touch! I highly recommend this tour!

    Our guide Francesca was great! She was very knowledgeable and friendly and we enjoyed spending a few hours eating our way through Dublin.

    Our guide was excellent and the tour was interesting and fun! Food was really good and the drinks as well.

  • 5/5 Carol K. 6 years ago on Google
    This 3 hour tour was an excellent way to see parts of Dublin, understand some of it's history and experience a range of food. From breakfast to a sampling of 3 Irish whiskeys, a beef and Guinness pie with a half pint of Guinness in the Hairy Lemon pub. We followed this with a sample of Irish cheeses, some artisanal ice cream and completed the tour with some fish & chips. For anyone visiting Dublin for the first time or a returning tourist wanting to taste some flavours of Ireland book this tour. You won't be disappointed.

  • 5/5 Brittany M. 1 year ago on Google
    We had a tour with Francesca. She was incredible! It was a great walking tour filled with such interesting information and incredible food. She also made sure that I had yummy vegetarian things to eat. I really appreciated that she made the tour interactive and was able to tell us so much about the city personally. No reading off a script here. Fantastic. Highly recommend.

    Francesca made this tour an absolute delight! We were also blessed with beautiful weather but more importantly my mother in law was thrilled with Francesca’s banter and humor as well as her help accommodating my MiL’s dietary restrictions. I’m sure the whole company is wonderful but cherry on top of the ice cream sundae was our guide!
