A tour for all ages

This is a lovely walking tour giving you a chance to understand the history of Kilkenny. Didn't know that a witch trial occurred hundreds of years before Salem. Loved learning about the buildings on the walk, hundreds of years old. Our guide, Belle, was fabulous, informative and made the time fly by. Had two 11 year old grandsons who also really loved the tour. They are talking about it hours after. Go and enjoy the walk.

Our guide John was terrific. He knew a lot about the history of Kilkenny and he was loads of fun. It’s a really easy walk.
