My wife and I had a tour with Ray, and while he was pleasant enough, we thought he was just going through a script, sort of a “rewind/play” of other pre-packaged tours that he’d done in the past. After the tour we looked back at the original description that our travel agent had given us (that I imagine was supplied by Flavour Trails/Irish Food Trail) and realized that there was a disconnect between the description and what we actually received. At the beginning of the tour Ray indicated that there would be five stops, and after he departed at the end of the tour we wondered what the fifth stop was, as we only counted four. It turns out that in the Powerscourt center (where Flavour Trails/Irish Food Trail is located) there's a bake shop that Ray stopped in front of (as it was closed) and handed us a box of sweets. So that was the fifth stop... not quite what we would have thought based on "freshly baked sweet treats" as shown in the original description, so it's a bit misleading. Also misleading was the "guided whiskey tasting" which reading that, to us, meant more than one, but that's all it was, just one pour of whiskey and a few minutes later off to the next stop. Going into a pub for fish & chips Ray told us that drinks were not included. We didn't want to get into an argument but my wife and I both thought "what?!". And the final nail in the coffin was the final stop at another pub to pull our own pints of Guinness. Ray didn't mention anything about the cost of the beer not being included, but he wrapped up the tour script and blew out of there before we were handed a bill, only to find out that the beers were on us and not included in the price we paid. We paid a bunch of money for the private tour, and what we got wasn't worth anything close to that, and then paying for beers on top of it was just not cool. For a private tour Ray didn’t ask a single question about our likes or dislikes, or else he would’ve found out that my wife doesn’t like whiskey or Guinness, so I wound up drinking both mine and hers, instead of her being offered an alternative liquor and beer. Also, the food that we were given was pretty basic (fish and chips, and a small plate of a few deli meats and cheeses at a food shop), all things that we could eat at home and don’t have to go to Dublin for. So all in all it really was not a good experience, and we would not recommend this operator to anybody.

One of the best food tours I've ever been on anywhere in the world! The history was fantastic, the food stunning, the stories hilarious, and the recommendations for further adventures perfection.

This tour was easily my top highlight of Dublin. What I loved most (and wasn't expecting) was the excellent history information shared from our wonderful guide, Grainne. I thought this was such a nice touch to the tour and I learned so much more than I thought about Ireland. Of course the food and restaurants we visited were excellent and the drink pairing was a pleasant touch. I genuinely had one of these best soups of my life on this tour. I can't recommend this tour enough and would advice starting your adventure in Dublin with this tour. 11/10
