Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Darren gave us a lively and entertaining walk round the town, full of details you would never know from reading the history guides. It was well worth it.

We had a wonderful day in Westport on the Westport Food Tour. Our tour guide Darren was exceptional. Not alone did he guide us through outstanding local Westport Food Business but he also shared his excellent knowledge on the history of Westport past and present. We really enjoyed hearing the origions of the town. We had eleven stops on the Food Tour tasting and enjoying the best of local produce. Each Business welcomed us, shared their produce, and shared their knowledge. Westport Food Tour really enjoyable and Highly recommended. Christopher, Ethna, Mary Kathleen (31 August 2023)

(We did the Food Tour of Westport)
Westport is a gem on the west coast, which is why we keep going back. Even still, we didn't realise there were so many great places to eat and drink. Being creatures of habit, we sometimes overlook, and thereby seriously miss out on, the many and diverse great experiences to be had in this great town. Not least the tour, and especially our tour guide, Darren. He made us feel like old friends from the get go. If the essence of a good guide, is a person who has an encyclopedic knowledge of the target area, a relaxed and friendly demeanor, and a great rapport with the locals, Darren has it in spades. I wish we'd done this tour a few years ago.

We really enjoyed this food tour. Darren was a friendly, fun and knowledgeable guide pointing out features of historical interest as we walked through the town, and the shopkeepers offering samples were passionate, with quality at the forefront of what they did. It was fantastic to be shown the vibrancy of Westport, and my girlfriend lists it as the one of the highlights of our trip earning me "brownie" points for booking it. I highly recommend it for tourists and locals alike. Thanks.

What a lovely surprise! We met Darren at the Tourist Information center, and he charmed us into returning for his walking tour. Friendly, funny, full of information, the tour gave us a quick but engaging introduction to the town and it's many local shops and characters. Well worth the cost to learn so much about this charming town.
