Kate was a great ambassador for Kinsale. We loved our “private culinary tour”. My only recommendation would be to explain at the beginning of the tour where we are going and what to expect.

A Michelin Star for Celia ⭐️

Yum, yum, yum! Celia gave us an unforgettable day in Kinsale. Each place we stopped was more than delicious than the one before. But her sharing her life story – mostly in response to all of our questions – allowed us to become fast friends. Sharing Irish coffee in the White House Hotel surrounded by its emotional memorial was deeply moving. Thank you, Celia - we hope our paths cross again! xo

Operator response

Hello, Thank you for the excellent review. We are delighted you enjoyed the tour and make a connection with Kinsale and Celia. That is what we strive for and we hope you return again soon to experience more of what we have to offer. Regards, Frances

You will not want to miss this amazing walking food tour!!

This tour is a MUST!! AMAZING food & beverages. Knowledgeable and EXTREMELY FRIENDLY tour guides. They started by kindly helping us with parking. Then, we were treated to lovely sausage rolls. We stopped at a store and got sweet treats and the most delicious strawberries. After that more walking and history. Followed by a lovely Irish coffee and latte in a little pub. Next, we went to a chocolate shop where the chocolates were made on the premises. You will have a hard time walking away with just a few. Our last stop was lunch. It was fabulous!! Oysters, a lovely fish soup, a salad, and the most amazing piece of fried fish. Accompanied with a glass of wine. As I said, this tour is a must. The tour guides were two of the most lovely ladies I’ve ever met. They took the time to answer our questions and explain the history of Kinsale Ireland.
