Diane
The history was fascinating and I learned so much even though I have lived in Saint Louis for 10 years. The food choices were representative of the area and would give someone a taste of what is Saint Louis cuisine. Two thoughts: the guide was a fast talker and I would have preferred him to slow it down so I could absorb better. Also at $129 a person we shouldn’t have had had to buy a drink at Dressels. A small taste of beer in a flight glass would have started the trip on a happy note.

This was an excellent tour. Kevin was a great guide and took us to five local establishments to enjoy a taste of breakfast, Irish coffee, lunch/dinner, and dessert. He gave us great facts and history of the area and even offered suggestions later via WhatsApp when I reached out. I would definitely recommend this tour to anyone coming to Dublin.
Ashley
What a great tour, full of history and good food. Mike toured us around the Central West End sharing the history of St. Louis and this area while stopping for local bites. The city has a rich history I knew nothing about. We walked away with full bellies saying what a great experience this was.
Russell
Had a good time on our tour. Definitely get to see sights and history off the beaten path and not just the touristy areas. The food was delicious, unique, and not hungry by the end for sure! Be prepared for a good bit of walking, especially if it's a hot day. Thankfully ice cold towels were provided which was wonderful!

Kevin’s food tour is a must for anyone visiting Dublin! Great stories, great food stops and Kevin is delightful. Loved the destinations in the Liberties neighbourhood - took us a bit off the beaten track and shared lots of history which was terrific. Enjoyed “the Kevin special” at a few locations and definitely order the Belfast Coffee!!!

I did the walking food tour with Kevin this weekend in Dublin with my husband and 2 friends and it was exceptional. His knowledge, recommendations, enthusiasm and passion for the food and the city were infectious. He is very giving of his time and knowledge and if you are going to do any tour it must be this one. I will do it again next time I am in Dublin.

Kevin has real passion for Ireland, the tour not covers local food places, he shared glimpse of the local histories. I highly recommend this tour. Have it Kevin’s way!👌
Nicole
We were fortunate enough to book both the food and the drink tours. Kevin was an exceptional tour guide and provided the most delicious recommendations! Our group all agreed that his tours were the highlight of our Dublin trip!!
