Brilliant Day!

What a great day! Starting with an Irish Coffee and a wonderful history of the city of Kilkenny. Our guide, Kieran was so personable, funny and friendly! We walked through the city center sampling all sorts of savories and treats. Would highly recommend! Kieran made the experience an A+! Loved our day ~ thank you!

Food was fine, guide was...

Food was fine, guide was a bit unorganized and felt like she was following a script. Needed to be more genuine. Carla was very nice

Carla Is a Wonderful Guide

I just did the food tour with my son, and it was so relaxing. Like walking through Kilkenny with a friend. The food was fantastic, as well. We couldn’t finish it all. One note: I thought the food tour was three hours, which it is, but there is a fourth hour on the end for the included Smithwick tour, so plan accordingly.

This Is A Don't Miss Treat!

A great tour with amazing food tastes. Carla was our guide and so knowledgeable about the food and history of Kilkenny. We ended the tour with a tour of Smithwick which was fun and interesting. Carla also had suggestions on other things we could do and places to eat while we were there. I highly recommend this food tour- it is one of the best!!

Carla was a very knowledgeable and pleasant tour guide. We enjoyed our time with her very much. We highly recommend this tour if you want great history, a nicely paced walk around Kilkenny, and a great sampling of food. It exceeded our expectations.
