Fantastic Food Tour of Cork!

Really enjoyed the Fab Food Trail of Cork. So much variety of food and drinks, very tasty with interesting and unique spots visited on the Tour, including historical sites. Our Tour Guide Dave was very friendly and so knowledgeable about the history of Cork which was so interesting to hear about. Would highly recommend if visiting Cork.

Fantastic foodie foray across Cork

Our food tour of Cork was fantastic! Dave was an ideal guide, mixing great culinary stops in with snippets of Cork history. In addition to trying some incredible places, the tour took us into sections of Cork we might not have explored on our own. The variety of venues was perfect too - a five star experience for any foodie!

Cork’s best experience

Dave was our guide and was excellent. He made sure we knew where to meet and warned of weather (rained a little but didn’t stop our group). Dave is passionate about the city of Cork and food scene. He gave us lots of history of the area and took us to unique food venues. I even tried an oyster! I would definitely recommend this tour.

Operator response

Thank you very much for your terrific review. It is great to hear you enjoyed Cork and your walk with Dave and delighted you tried those delicious oysters at O'Connells!

Excellent food tour

This food tour, led by William, was so enjoyable. Not only were the food choices varied and delicious, he gave us a history of the city and pointed out things we might not have noticed as we walked about. I would recommend doing this food tour as soon as possible after arrival as you really get a feel for the area and William makes recommendations for other places where you might dine and activities you might enjoy. He even provided us with a Google map at the end which listed all his recommendations. We have been on several food tours and this one had the best quality we have experienced. Definitely a 5 star recommend.

Operator response

What a great review for us and for William! It is great to hear you enjoyed it Cork and the food so much. Thank you for recommending us so warmly.

Will book with Fab Food Tours again

I had a gift voucher that was a few years old so I emailed Fab Food Tours about it. Response was within 30mins and they helped me book my tour and redeem my voucher within the hour. Dave, our guide was very knowledgeable and engaging throughout the tour and had a bit of banter with every member of the tour. The food samples were really tasty and generous. I was very impressed with their efficiency and helpful attitude. I will book again with Fab Food Tours

Operator response

That is a lovely and very generous review, thank you! We love when people enjoy our tours and even more when they enjoy the food! Delighted you came along and thank you for your kind words.
