Great food tour!!
Sinead was awesome. Very knowledgeable and funny. Seemed to have quite a passion for all things food and drink. 5 stops in total and all great samplings. Received a nice little suggestions list at end.
Response from the operator: Thanks a million for the great review. We're so happy to hear that. Sinéad loves sharing her passion for great food and drinks.

Perfect intro to traditional Irish cuisine
We had a fun morning tasting a scone, seeing how to make the finest Irish coffee, a lunch with a variety of traditional stews, a beer and Irish brown bread, then onto a cheesemonger and an ice cream maker. All the spending our time with a knowledgeable culinary guide who kept us entertained with her good natured banter.
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We’re delighted you had such a fun morning it Sinéad!

Delicious, Don't Miss It
Kevin was a great guide, he was very chill and friendly and had a lot of good information about the food and places we went. The food was all great, and we wouldn't have found most of these places on our own. Thanks for the cheese!
Response from the operator: Thanks so much for the lovely review! We’re delighted you enjoyed the tour with Kevin and discovered a few places you might not have found on your own. Thanks again for joining us.

Great guide and great tour
I thoroughly enjoyed my recent Delicious Dublin tour with Lisa. Although I had been to Dublin a few times before, it was fascinating to learn about Irish culture through food. The stops are well chosen and represent both high quality as well as opportunities to learn more. We visited a bakery and got to see a sort of behind the scenes look at their former kitchen, a funny and comprehensive lesson on Irish coffee and enjoyed great examples of Irish dairy. Lisa, with her deep knowledge, was great about answering questions. I would happily recommend her and this tour.
Response from the operator: Thanks so much for the lovely review!

Why this scores 86
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Dublin Food Tour: Local Tastings & Irish Food Stories: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Dublin.
How much does Dublin Food Tour: Local Tastings & Irish Food Stories cost?
+
Prices start at $107 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Dublin usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Dublin Food Tour: Local Tastings & Irish Food Stories take?
+
Plan for about 3 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Dublin is not rushed.
Is Dublin Food Tour: Local Tastings & Irish Food Stories worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 86 out of 100, which we label "Exceptional". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 727 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable most highly reviewed in Dublin, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Dublin Food Tour: Local Tastings & Irish Food Stories?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Dublin Food Tour: Local Tastings & Irish Food Stories suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 3-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Dublin Food Tour: Local Tastings & Irish Food Stories?
+
Around 254 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Dublin can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Dublin and add a light layer if any part of the 3-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Dublin Food Tour: Local Tastings & Irish Food Stories start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Dublin within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Dublin?
+
On Outty we rank every Dublin experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Dublin to Cliffs of Moher, including Wild Atlantic Way and Galway, Dublin Highlights and Hidden Gems Guided Walking Tour, The Little Museum of Dublin Famous Guided Tour. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Dublin?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Dublin?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
