We had a fantastic day walking around the centre of Dublin with the knowledgable Ruairi. He is passionate about his city and showed us all the great places to go and explained the interesting history and stories along the way. The food on the tour was plentiful, definitely come hungry! Ruairi also went above and beyond to give us restaurant, activity and entertainment recommendations for the rest of our trip, 10/10, would recommend! Fantastic day with Ruairi

Ruairi was a very knowledgeable guide. He took us on a 3 hour walking food tour where he explained various history points as we passed by different buildings or landmarks. He was very entertaining as well by sharing some of his own personal experiences. We overall had an amazing time, had great food and great conversation. We highly recommend booking a tour with Ruairi you won’t be disappointed! Appreciate all of the the expertise he has in the area and relationships with the various establishments that he has with them, it truly made the experience such a great time. We would absolutely rebook with him!Ruairi is an amazing local guide!

Great tour! Just our party of 4 with our tour guide Mydie who was wonderful! We did a leisurely tour for 3 hours with lots of great food and lots of great history. A wonderful way to see the sights of Dublin and all the history behind it. We ended at a pub for a pint which was the perfect finish. Would highly recommend, thank you Mydie!Great private tour!!

Highly recommend this tour! My husband and I almost always do the 10 Tastings Tour when we first get to a new city, as we find it's a great way to get acclimated to the city. This was exactly the case here. Mydie did such a great job guiding us around her home and showing us some excellent bites along the way. Amazing intro to Dublin!

He was very open to customizing things and very good at throwing historical tidbits into the conversation. The entire experience was like exploring with a friend who lives in Dublin.

Our private food tour with Mydie was wonderful. She is personable and fun, and we felt like we were with an old friend. Walking around the city and going to several different food places on both the North and South sides of Dublin, was very interesting. We got to sample meat pies and cider, fish and chips, some very yummy fudge and chocolates and of course, to top it all off, delicious ice cream. It was a great day and we hated for it to end. Definitely recommend this tour and ask for Mydie to guide you. You won't be disappointed.DUBLIN DELIGHTS

This is extremely disappointing as I reserved this food walking tour in April and I arrived this morning in Ireland for the first time looking forward to this experience. Had I known this was a scam, I would have booked something through TripAdvisor but was hoping to support local. What a horrible let down. Waited for over 45 mins for an individual that never showed up and never communicated any alternatives. So far this company has been has been inattentive with regards to any follow through with a refund or explanation. What a scam and a horrible first day experience in Ireland. Scam

There are two sides to this story. First, Mydie was a delight! As you will read below, she made this tour happen for us and we are grateful. She was knowledgeable about the general history of the country, that tied beautifully to the stories about the food. She made it feel like we were sharing food among friends. Thank you, Mydie for a great day with full bellies!!!! The first thing we look for when we travel is taking a food tour….highly recommend! We were very excited to add Dublin to our list. Booking months in advance, we were very disappointed that the tour was cancelled a few days in prior with no explanation. We had planned a lot of the trip around this. I went back to the website to see if anyone else was available. They were not. I decided to reach out directly to Mydie. She sowed she was available an hour earlier than our preferred time, but not our time. Being this was our arrival day, I did not have the flexibility to start earlier. She immediately responded to me and said she could make it happen! I was hesitant to try again, but we are so grateful we did. The experience with the tour company was bumpy, but Mydie (who had nothing to do with the scheduling issue) came through with a wonderful tour! Mydie made the tour happen and gave us wonderful memories of Dublin!Mydie Made it Happen

Our 10 Tastings Tour with Carl was a great start to our visit to Dublin. A beautiful sunny Sunday night had the streets full of people. So much so that our first food stop was out of food, much to Carl’s chagrin. He adjusted nicely on the fly and proceeded with a great variety of foods at about 5 different stops. All the food choices he made were delicious. There’s no way we could have had that variety of food on our own. And we were definitely full by the end of the tour. Thanks Carl.Great variety of food chosen by Carl

Ruairi had excellent pre tour communication to find out if we had any food allergies or dislikes(we didn’t want spicy). He also kindly made several suggestions for us to do in Dublin before our food tour with him. And responded to a question re scary or haunted tours to recommend. We didn’t walk too far but our stops were all different and varied. Loved the street market places, the fancy food hall, the pubs and the pub food. Each stop had interesting stories, with time left over for asking questions and quiet conversation. We finished with chocolate and then ice cream. A perfect way to spend our last afternoon in Dublin. Fabulous tour with Ruairi and food too!

Ruairi was a wonderful guide. We did not know what to expect but he took us around for 10 different tastings in four hours. We couldn’t believe that the four hours was already over! He knows the city and the history of the area. He had a lot of great stories to tell! We tried many foods that we would not have tried otherwise. We would definitely tour with him again! And I am now Guinness fan because of him! 😁Loved it!

I had a super experience with Ruairi! He is very knowledgeable about food and beverages and is a very good storyteller. He took me to a variety of pubs and shops and stalls for scones, cheese and sausage, nuts, beer, cider, chocolate, “toasties,” and more. We got to know each other a bit and laughed a lot. I encourage anyone who wants to sample the local foods to book Ruairi.A Great Way to Spend the Day

What a completely fantastic experience to spend some hours with Mydie learning the history and highlights of Dublin and the phenomenal food scene! This felt like an old friend was bringing you into her city and culture and creating a memory to last a lifetime I chose Mydie based on her warm and friendly video on the WithLocals website and she was even more welcoming than that!! How is that possible!?!? Spend the day with Mydie (rhymes with Heidi!) towards the front end of your trip because you'll want to revisit many of her stops or some places she'll point out Worth every penny!Most wonderful day with Mydie in Dublin!

We just wanted to praise our guide Ruairi for a really amazing tour. We had a fabulous time with him last evening wandering around Dublin getting so many fun and interesting bits of information about the city and its people. We enjoyed delicious food and drink and were well-prepped for even our other tours later in the week due to Ruairi's knowledge and experience. We cannot praise him enough for the humor, candor and fun. We really felt at home and at ease with him. We highly recommend a tour with Ruairi.Fun, interesting and delicious tour!

Ruairi was a great host for our Saturday afternoon tour of the 10 tastings of Dublin. His knowledge of the city was brilliant with many stories about the locations he took us to. His familiarity with many of the guys in the places we visited meant it enhanced the experience He took his time over the tour, we were never rushed, so it went well beyond the 3 hours.

This was our first tour that we did in Ireland, and it was a perfect way to start our vacation. There were enough breaks where she'd talk about history and areas around Dublin in between each stop so you didn't feel like you had to absolutely stuff yourself to try everything.Perfect balance of food

Ruairi heeft onze trip naar Dublin nog beter gemaakt met een 3 uur durende Food tour! Met veel humor voelde hij onze groep perfect aan, vertelde veel over de achtergrond van Dubliners en de geschiedenis van de stad, maar bovenal gaf hij echte local info over de beste food hotspots van de stad. Inclusief proeven natuurlijk! Top ervaring!Fantastische tour!
