Irish Food Trail Local Irish Guides
Our Local Irish Guides are the best in the country. If you don’t laugh your ass off on our tours you might need to check your pulse because your probably dead!! This tour is one of the best things to do in Dublin City & Ireland. Great food and good company all enjoyed with the best Irish drinks produced locally. Eat, Drink, Explore.
Dublin is a city that has retained the mentality of a village where locals are generally very friendly, open and willing to engage with anyone they meet. Dubliner’s are great storytellers who love self-deprecating humour and “pulling the leg” of the person they are speaking with. While it’s a capital city with all the associated trappings, the city centre is compact and easy to navigate. So come along book a ticket and get ready for a great night out in Ireland.
