FAQs

What is the difference between the 2 tours?
The morning tour starts with breakfast and a tour of a bakery and the afternoon tour starts with a light lunch and glass of wine in a restaurant, you will visit only one of these places depending which tour you are choosing. Other than that both tours are identical. 

How long is the tour?

Each tour is 3 hours long, but delays may happen for various reasons so please keep this in mind when you’re planning something straight after the tour.

How much walking is involved?

The tour lasts around 3 hours, during which the group will walk at a casual pace between several venues. You will be standing most of the time and will be seated at 2 locations only. 

How much food is included?

Both tours start with a light meal and are followed by food and wine tastings.

Morning tour: you will be starting with a French style breakfast followed by 3 tastings

Afternoon tour: you will be starting with a light lunch followed by 3 tastings.

So don’t eat before the tour, and you won’t leave us hungry!

Do you cater for special dietary requirements/food allergies?

Vegetarians:  let us know at the time of booking in the ‘special instructions’ section of Paypal.

Coeliacs: unfortunately, the tours are not suited for coeliacs.

Food allergies: it may be wise to email us at frenchfoodieindublin@gmail.com before you book your space as it is not guaranteed that we can accommodate your needs.

Is the tour appropriate for infants/children?

The tour is designed for adults and involves alcohol and strong flavours. A 3 hour walking tour of Dublin about French food and culture may not be your child's cup of tea.

Infants (under 3) will not participate to tastings and you do not need to buy a ticket.

Only you can assess if the tour is suitable for your child but please be aware that we drink wine, visit small shops, walk through busy streets and stand most of the time. You must purchase a ticket at the adult price if your child is over 3, alternative food options are not available and refunds will not be applied regarding the wine tasting.

I’m French will I learn something on this tour?

The tour is designed to introduce people to French food culture and food. If you are French you might know many the products already and be familiar with the content of the tour. French foodie in Dublin will organise more events that might suit you better.

Is the tour wheelchair/stroller accessible?

We visit small shops with stairways that are not wheelchair/stroller accessible.  The itinerary may include narrow sidewalks and cobblestone streets.

What happens if the weather is bad?

The tour will run rain, shine or snow. It’s Ireland so please be prepared for any kind of weather conditions. Umbrellas, rain gear and sun cream are all strongly recommended. Tours won’t be cancelled in case of bad weather.

What should I wear?

Wear comfortable shoes as we’ll be walking around the streets of Dublin and the morning tour will involve walking on cobblestones. Dress according to the weather and feel free to wear a stripy top or a beret!
