Interesting tour

Interesting tour through the city; the lady was incredibly friendly and explained a lot about the city to us. We found it a bit too expensive, but that was our feeling....

Great Tour History and phenomenal food tasting!

This tour was great! Learning some history of Cork and the importance it served of supplying ships as they prepared to cross the Atlantic was enjoyable. The food sampling was as even better. pie Guys is the best meat pie I’ve ever tasted. The oysters from the fish monger were the freshest and best I’ve had anywhere. Thank you to our tour guide for sharing and guiding us.

Amazing Cork Food Tour - Highly Recommend!

This was hands down one of the highlights of my trip to Cork! The food tour with Bonner Travel far exceeded my expectations. We had so many delicious tastings along the way—come hungry because you definitely won’t leave hungry. Our guide, Grainne, was absolutely fantastic. She was incredibly knowledgeable about Cork’s history and made every stop engaging with fun stories and local insights. You can tell she’s passionate about both the city and its food scene, which made the experience even more memorable. Every stop felt thoughtfully selected, showcasing a great mix of local flavors. It was the perfect way to explore Cork while learning about its culture and history. I highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Cork—it’s a must-do!
