What do our guests think.

We loved Belfast food tour with Meave!! She did an amazing job touring us around Belfast and showing us truly the best food and drink the city had to offer! Plenty of walking, great views, friendly business owners, and awesome local finds! My sister in law (gluten free) and myself (vegetarian) were not only handled on this food tour, but Taste and Tour had amazing options for everyone who had dietary restrictions!

Amy B - Belfast Food Tour

Elma was a lovely guide. The venues we visited were varied. Beautiful food and drinks were provided. Very good value for money. Took me to a few new places in the City which I hadn't visited before. A lovely way to spend a Sunday morning. Would highly recommend it!

Linda H - 5 Stop Brunch

Katie was absolutely brilliant! She is so knowledgeable and passionate about beer. We went to places we had never been to before & tried so many new beers, it was a fantastic afternoon. Food was great too!

Lynsey - Crafty Beer & Tasty Bites

Our guide Dave was extremely knowledgeable - we learnt a lot about gin but also about history too! A great day out and I'll definitely be joining on more tours in the future.

Linda Gibbs, NYC

Simply the best tour in Ireland. My husband and I have taken Mia’s 6 day tours twice, once starting from Dublin and doing a northern loop in 2022, and we just returned from doing the southern loop. So much variety and fun packed into 6 days. Ireland is such a beautiful country and Mia is the most wonderful guide to get to see some of it. Highly, highly, highly recommend.
