Tapas Trail Dublin

Continuing in January, Tapas Trail is a modern twist on the traditional Spanish style of eating, drinking and socialising. It is a great way of getting friends together or meeting new people. Each tour is three hours long. You will visit three unique tapas restaurants, all in the company of your own guide. A different side of hidden Dublin will be shown to you. Experience the culture and history of our great city. Tours are run on a minimum of six people to a maximum of 18 people. A spread of tapas is provided in each restaurant with a glass of red/white wine on arrival.

The next trails take place on 17 January from 2-5pm and on 27 January and 1 February at 6-9pm. For more information, click here
