What an amazing tour! Having met Sinead at Parade Quay, we headed off on a hugely interesting foodie walking tour. Sinead is such a well informed tour guide and we got to know the history of Waterford through engaging in the topic of food. We visited three fabulous eateries, the quality of the food and the hospitality shown to us was second to none. To find out where we went, you will just have to do the tour yourself. You won't be disappointed! Thanks so much, Sinead for organising the little birthday treat for one of us!

Sinead was a great tour guide. Both my wife and I really enjoyed the experience. Sinead was very knowledgeable about the history of Waterford’s food industries and we had great stops along the way. I would recommend anyone with an interest in food or drink to book this tour on your next visit to Waterford. 😊

We did the Raise a Glass pub culture tour with Sinead during heritage week. It was a fun tour with a nice selection of interesting bars throughout the city, steeped in local history. Pub culture is alive and well in Waterford !

I highly recommend the Pub Culture Tour! Sinéad was really knowledgeable and brought us to some great traditional pubs, including ones that make their own whiskey. Her stories made the experience fun and interesting. A lovely way to experience Waterford’s pub heritage and local scene.

In spite of the rainy day Sinead made this tour very interesting. The food was all good but my favourite was the breakfast Waterford Blaa. The retailers we met along the way had lots of stories to share. I would defo recommend this tour if you’re in Waterford city.

Myself and my daughter Anneka had a wonderful time with Sinéad on Tasteful Tours in Waterford city on Saturday. So informative with great history stories. Fantastic places to eat, great weather. What is there not to like? ☺️ Sinéad you are brilliant you brought to life many stories of ancient times in Waterford. "You have indeed wet our appetites - pardon the pun to return, check out and stay in this gorgeous city." I urge anyone reading this to ensure that this awesome tour is on your list when visiting Waterford. You will not be disappointed I can assure you. Make sure that your are hungry because you will be well fed and watered . I cannot rate you high enough Sinéad and I hope that your business continues to go from strength to strength.
