Kilkenny in French, oh yes!

John was a great guide! He advised us on things to do even before we met for our tour. Thanks to him, we were able to attend a Hurling match. We learned a lot about Kilkenny and its history. Contact him without hesitation to get a French tour of Kilkenny. Thank you, John!
