Withlocals 10 Tastings: Dublin Private Food Tour

Had a fantastic food and drink tour with Ruairi on sat 11th July . From start to finish we had a great time . Lots of food drink and story’s . Would definitely recommend. Thank you Ruairi.

We had a fabulous time on our food tour with Ruairí. He took us to some really unique spots that fully showcased both the classic Irish food experience as well as Dublin's emerging foodie culture. I was so pleasantly surprised by the variety! Ruairí is a very kind host with so many personal stories to share along the way!

What a great way to enjoy the City! Ruairi was an excellent host! He made our tour of the food in Dublin something to remember. We went to places I would not have thought of and we found how truly diversified the food scene in Dublin has become. Best fish & chips we had on the whole time in Ireland! Highly recommend both the tour and Ruairi!. Thank you!

The pros: This is a private tour, which means it's just you and the guide - which is nice if that is what you're looking for. It provides the opportunity to call audibles if you so desire without impacting anyone but yourselves. Our guide was also very nice/friendly, although not a local. The amount of food/drink wasn't bad, but it wasn't super impressive either. I've definitely left other tours much more full, which could be good or bad depending on your outlook. The cons: While I believe this tour has an opportunity to be great - it just isn't there yet. Well established tours seem to have relationships with the places they take you, which guarantees tables and food ready to go when you arrive. This hasn't been established (or at least we didn't experience) with this particular tour. We spent arguably too much time waiting for tables, or food to be served, and were generally a bit confused with what was included vs. what was not as a result. I've also gotten used to more engaging conversations / city history with these types of tours and that lacked a bit more than we would have liked.
