We had the best time on our tour with Francesca! We got to try everything from Irish coffee (best we’ve ever had) to oysters to authentic Irish stew and a sausage roll. Francesca helped us appreciate the food along with history. The tour was filled with old Irish history, Dublin traditions, and recent history so we got a real feel for what the city is like today. The tour took us through some interesting neighborhoods and corners of the city, too. I highly recommend this tour for foodies who want to be oriented to Dublin and get a full experience of what the city has to offer. A must! We’ve now done this type of tour in Barcelona and Athens as well, and Dublin delivers. Thank you, Francesca!

Kieran was amazing!!!! He was so wonderful and knowledgeable. He gave us history, while tasting delicious food along the way. Everything was delicious, we even tried oysters for the first time. My son has special needs and he was so kind and patient with him. This was our best excursion hands down!!!!

This was fun!!! The food and drinks were excellent and Ciernan (sp?) was funny and personable. My only comment is that he might have talked a little long prior to getting started.

It is an interesting experience with food, and it becomes quite a lot of food, so take it slow. The best was the start with Irish coffee. Yum.
The cheese tasing was especially nice too. It was fun to be in a group and watch other's reactions to new tastes too. Great tour guide!

This food tour was one of the highlights of my time in Dublin! I loved the Irish coffee experience and the opportunity to taste a variety of delicious local foods. While I couldn’t quite bring myself to try the black pudding, it was fun watching the braver members of our group give it a go!
The group was friendly and made the experience even more enjoyable. Our guide, Kathy, was fantastic—knowledgeable, engaging, and full of personality. She shared great insights about Dublin’s history, culture, and food scene while keeping the tour fun and entertaining.
I highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Dublin.
Response from Host, Jun 2026

Very good way to start a trip in Dublin or anywhere. One gets a feel for the city and some of the local cuisine and beverages are highlighted. Our guide Francesca was very pleasant.
Response from Host, Jun 2026
Thank you for your review. Exploring local food is often one of the most enjoyable ways to understand a city, and we're pleased that perspective came through during your time with us. We hope to see you again with Secret Food Tours!

Lee was a friendly, welcoming host who was professional and fun! It was obvious that he was from Dublin and was happy to share his favorite local spots which was exactly what we were hoping for. We give him a total of 20.0 stars since there were four of us. Thank you for a great experience! Darkey Kelly’s was a fantastic recommendation. Apparently Karl is on holiday - so we missed him at Lord Ed :). We’d do this tour specifically with Lee, every time and have already recommended it to friends! Thanks Lee!!!

Annette_T, Jun 2026
Such a fabulous selection of foods and drinks. Would definitely recommend it. My only suggestion would be to have an option for the raw oysters as I am deathly allergic to them. Would've loved to have been offered to have them steamed.
Response from Host, Jun 2026
Thank you for your 5-star review! We're happy to hear that you found so much to enjoy throughout your time with us. We've also noted your comments as we continuously look for ways to further refine the experience. We hope to see you again with Secret Food Tours.

Response from Host, Jun 2026
Thank you for sharing your comments, Alan! It's good to know that your time with us became a highlight of your trip. We look forward to welcoming you back to Secret Food Tours.
Nicola_W, Jun 2026
The tour was the highlight of our weekend in Dublin. Lee was our guide. He was a local and not only showed us round the food spots (which were brilliant!) but also answered any questions we had and went above and beyond to make us feel part of the city. All the food spots were great, a real variety with welcoming staff. We enjoyed chatting to other people in the group. A must do if visiting Dublin and you will enjoy it more if you are lucky enough to have Lee as your guide!
Response from Host, Jun 2026
Thank you for your review! Hearing that your day with us was time well spent means a lot to our team. We hope you'll join Secret Food Tours again in the future.

Thank you for your thoughtful comments! It's rewarding to know that your expectations were met and more. We look forward to welcoming you back to Secret Food Tours.
Russell_F, Jun 2026
There is a lot of walking and not very much time sitting down since several of the tastings were not sit down. However, the food tastings were great. Our guide, Lee, was fabulous. He made adjustments for those who either had food allergies or specific dislikes (such as raw oysters; so he arranged cooked prawns). By the end of the tour, we were stuffed. I recommend this tour. It is a great one for your day of arrival to get you going and help adjust the jet lag.
Response from Host, Jun 2026
Knowing you had such a positive experience is incredibly rewarding. We're glad your time with us left you with plenty to remember. Thank you again for joining Secret Food Tours!

This was a fantastic tour and a great way to sample a variety of local foods at local restaurants (and not ones mostly catering to tourists). Lee was a terrific guide - personable and knowledgeable and super entertaining! I would do this tour again in a minute!
Response from Host, Jun 2026
Thank you for your feedback, Lisa! We're glad that your day with us left you with plenty of positive memories. We hope to see you again with Secret Food Tours.
Michael_B, Jun 2026
Food experience was wonderful. Only complaint was that our guide walked at a pace that made it difficult for my wife and I to keep up. There was another couple with a simpler issue. However her knowledge about Ireland and the different restaurants we stopped at was very enlightening. We were generally very pleased with this and the other Viator tours that we were on.
Response from Host, Jun 2026
Thank you for sharing your feedback, Michael. We're glad to hear that you enjoyed the food experience and found the insights about Ireland and the restaurants along the way informative and engaging. It's also great to know that the overall tour left a positive impression.
We appreciate your comments regarding the walking pace. Feedback like yours is valuable as we continue refining the experience for all of our guests. Our guides strive to create a welcoming atmosphere and are always happy to accommodate guests whenever possible, so observations such as these help us ensure everyone can enjoy the tour comfortably.
Thank you again for joining us in Dublin. We hope to welcome you and your wife on another Secret Food Tour in the future, whether back in Ireland or in one of our many locations around the world. Safe travels and happy eating!
