We enjoyed sharing the city with you through its food. Your enthusiasm made each stop even more enjoyable, and we’re glad the day came together so well. Thanks for joining Secret Food Tours!
Our flight was delayed and we were going to miss the tour. Tried to call well in advance to let them know and also to reschedule. First, when you call, they tell you they will only answer emails. Then, you email and basically Viator tells you, you have to get in contact with the vendor. The total run around. Finally was able to get in touch with someone and they emailed and said what days other days/times we were interested in to reschedule. Our days were already filled with other tours through Viator for our trip, so we were limited, but excited because on line there were openings for a time that we could reschedule. They said one date was closed. So we tried to reschedule for a different date and time. Again, on line said they had openings for the EXACT SAME TOUR and PRICE. We received an email stating that that time was not available. WE were LITERALLY looking at the booking on line. If we had reserved the tour then, we would have had to pay ANOTHER 546. Did not do it because was not sure they would reimburse us. They claimed again that there were no times available. Watched on line as the spaces went from three to two. Did not get the tour. Will also be filing a complaint with our bank. Do not book this experience! The vendor is untrustworthy. Just after your money.
Response from Host, Sep 2026
Thank you for sharing your perspective, Ann. We understand how frustrating it must have been to deal with changing travel plans and then have difficulty finding a suitable time to reschedule.
We do want to clarify that availability shown through third-party booking platforms can sometimes take time to update and may not always reflect the live availability we have on our end. We appreciate your feedback on how this situation came across, as clear communication and a smooth booking process are important parts of the overall experience.
We are saddened to hear that you were ultimately unable to join us in Dublin. We appreciate you taking the time to share your experience, and we will keep your feedback in mind as we continue refining the experience for our guests.
If your travels bring you back to Dublin, we would be glad to welcome you on a future tour and give you the opportunity to experience the food, stories, and character of the city with us.
Cathy, our tour guide was knowledgeable, very friendly and a wonderful guide. We would highly recommend!

This tour was a great experience. Our guide was funny, respectful, knowledgeable, and kept us entertained the whole time. Definitely recommend it!
Response from Host, Sep 2026
It was wonderful having you with us. We’re glad the tour gave you an enjoyable way to experience the city through its food. We hope to welcome you again!
Liam was a fantastic guide— warm, very funny, knowledgeable and enthusiastic. We enjoyed a great assortment of food and drinks, from unique elevated Irish coffee to seafood and beef stews, to sausage sandwiches in a train car, to uniquely flavored small batch ice cream, delicious Irish cheeses and crackers, oysters and, of course, Guinness (which is smooth and tasty, nothing like the acrid stuff we get in the US). I might be missing something— we had plenty to eat as we made our way around the city. Very highly recommended!
Response from Host, Sep 2026
We’re happy to hear the experience went so well. Our guide enjoyed sharing the food, places, and local insight that shaped your tour. Secret Food Tours was pleased to have you along!

We LOVED this tour. Lee was
So incredibly knowledgeable about the area and Irish history and all kinds of other things as well! The food was great and was from places that we (and probably most tourists) would have never thought to go to. I can’t recommend this tour enough!!
Response from Host, Sep 2026
It was great having you with us. We’re pleased the tour gave you an enjoyable look at the destination through its food. We hope you’ll join Secret Food Tours again someday!
This tour was so much fun and Cathy was a wonderful host....she was very entertaining but I do feel that it was either myself or her that, at times, did not quite cut the "mustard"...lolol...I standby my belief that some foods just need/deserve it but we will agree to disagree! Cathy did a great job and I would highly recommend this tour especially with her.

Fun and informative at the start of our trip. Gave us a wonderful tasting menu along with some history of Dublin.

Thank you for letting us be your guide for a few hours. We hope the experience gave you a genuine introduction to the local side of the city. We were glad to have you with Secret Food Tours!
The history shared with us was mildly interesting, none of the food was very impressive. A disappointment for us.
Response from Host, Aug 2026
Thank you for sharing your perspective, Diane. Our tours are thoughtfully curated to showcase the local food scene while our guides bring the destination to life through its history, stories, and character, so we appreciate hearing that the experience did not quite match what you had hoped for.
We also understand that food and the way a city’s history is presented can be very personal, and every guest may connect with different parts of the experience. Still, we would be glad to welcome you back on a future visit and hope to have the opportunity to share another side of Dublin with you.
Really enjoyed the tour. Lee our tour guide was Wonderful! Very knowledgeable with a terrific personality!

You brought a great energy to the group. We hope the food and the places we visited gave you plenty to enjoy along the way. Secret Food Tours was happy to have you with us!
The food tour with Ann was wonderful. She did a great job not only selecting and recommending dishes for us all to try but also explaining Irish history along the way. She even provided us all with additional recommendations for after the tour and recipes to take home.
Response from Host, Aug 2026
A few hours around the city can open up a whole different side of it. We’re glad you chose to spend those hours with Secret Food Tours. Thanks for being part of the journey!
The secret food tour in Dublin was the way to spend a perfect day. Our guide Ann was passionate about her city and took us to many locally owned businesses. It was great to hear her personal stories as well as history of Dublin. I highly recommend this tour and Ann as your guide.
Response from Host, Aug 2026

Amazing experience! Well worth the price. We had plenty of foo, drinks and sweets to keep us full until dinner. Cieran was an excellent guide and very knowledgeable and funny. Wouldn’t hesitate to do it again!
Also gave great recommendations afterwards to make our trip better!
Response from Host, Aug 2026
Thank you for the fantastic review! We’re delighted you enjoyed the generous food, drinks, and sweets, and that Ciaran made the experience both informative and entertaining. We’re especially glad his local recommendations helped make the rest of your trip even better. We’d love to have you join us again!
The food tour was informative, well presented, and above all delicious. Ciaran did a fabulous job as our guide. A must when visiting Dublin.
Response from Host, Aug 2026
It was a pleasure spending those hours together. We hope the tour gave you a comfortable way to get to know the city and enjoy some of its local character. We’re glad you chose Secret Food Tours!
This is a lot more than a food experience. Our guide Ann is a proud native and shared a lot of interesting historical information and stories (very Irish!) that added flavor (pun intended) to the tour. There are sites and details we would have completely overlooked if not for Ann. There is a fair amount of walking and it was planned and paced very well. The most memorable food were the Irish coffees, cheeses, oysters and the ice cream with special Irish flavors.
Response from Host, Aug 2026
We’re so glad you joined us. The food brings people together, but it’s the places and conversations around it that often make the day memorable. Thank you for experiencing that with Secret Food Tours!
Lee was a fun, informative guide! We visited several family owned bistro’s with a personal touch. It was a great experience

Highly recommend! Had an absolutely fantastic time with our knowledgeable, friendly, fun, and considerate food tour guide Lee! We learned many bits and bobs as we strolled around Dublin from a locals perspective, which is what I’d hoped for. Had the best Irish coffee of my life, and all the rest was spectacular! Thank you Lee, for making this an unforgettable experience!
