What you'll do

SEE ITINERARY

Start the tour at a family-run pub that's poured pints for two hundred years, with a traditional toasted sandwich made with local ingredients and a cup of Cork tea.
Step into one of Europe's oldest covered markets for a tasting of three award-winning local Irish cheeses.
Visit an award-winning fishmonger at the heart of the market for a seafood platter, fresh in from the local harbours.
Settle into a Cork institution for a bowl of traditional seafood chowder, paired with a glass of local stout.
Discover how Cork's only chocolate factory makes its chocolate, then taste the result with a locally made hot chocolate.
Cross the River Lee to a site with roots in the 1300s, finishing with an Irish whiskey finished in casks from the very building you're standing in.
To make your experience extra special, we’ve included a surprise Secret Dish that perfectly captures the heart of the city's cuisine.

When you purchase our Upgrade Package, you'll enjoy the following drinks, in addition to the ones already served on the tour:

Pint of Murphys

You can always tell our guide of any food allergies or special dietary requirements you might have, and we will adapt the menu so that you can enjoy the tour. If you have any doubts or concerns, feel free to email us before booking. We have had many vegetarians doing the tour with us and they all enjoyed it very much.

I am traveling with my family, is the tour ok for infants/children?

+

This tour is not child-friendly. Only 18 years and over are allowed to join.

I don't drink alcohol. Can I book your tour?

This is not a problem. Just inform our guide before the tour starts. During the tasting you can select another beverage you like.

We give enough food to all our customers. You won't need to go to another restaurant after the food tour.

Where do I add my discount voucher?

+

I would like to take your tour but it is already fully booked. Is there a way I can do the tour?

+

Our tours are often sold out very quickly. If the date you requested is not available, please do not hesitate to email us and we can see if there is anything we can do.

To join our food tour, you should wear comfortable shoes. The walking involved is similar to our Soho tour. If you walk slowly, then our guide will walk slowly as well.

What if it rains or I change my plans?

+

Unfortunately, the weather is unpredictable in Cork. We do not issue refunds as per our terms and conditions. We also inform you that we never cancel a booking even if we have only two people. However we do reserve the right to cancel the tour if we feel the weather is extreme, and we cannot run the tour due to this, for more info see our Terms and Conditions.

Can I pay the tour in cash?

+

You must book directly on our website. We do not accept cash payments. Our online payment is safe, secured, and SSL protected.

Why do we need to pay for a booking fee?

+

The booking fee that you have to pay is up to our ticket provider and we can't change it. All our clients need to pay for it upon booking. The booking fee charged contributes to the cost of the ticketing system to provide an excellent service to our customers.

Foreign Transaction Fees

+

A few banks have charged their customer an extra fee while booking with us (this isn't the booking fee but another fee added by the bank). We think this is unfair, if this happens let us know by showing us in your bank statement and we will refund this fee as a gesture of good will.

Are the food tours wheelchair and/or stroller accessible?

+

Yes, this tour is wheelchair and stroller accessible. If you have any specific concerns, feel free to contact us before booking to discuss.

What is the lowest price guarantee?

+

We always offer the lowest price on our Secret Food Tours. If you find one of our food tours listed at a lower price, contact us and we'll match it.
