Worthwhile tour!

This was a great way to learn about Kilkenny. Our guide, Joe, was very knowledgeable and gave us so many interesting details. He also made recommendations for where to eat lunch and to explore the the different cathedrals and the Black Abbey. We used all of his recommendations and really enjoyed our time in Kilkenny!

The walk was awesome. Lots of knowledge and great fun. Very accommodating as our flight was late and they were willing to put us the next tour. Joseph was awesome as well as the museum itself

Walking tour of Kilkenny

This tour was narrated by a guide from the Medieval Museum. He was very well informed and was native of Kilkenny. We had a nice walk thru the city learning history at every stop. This tour included a visit to the museum where you can see tombs and other artifacts. The museum is in an old church converted to museum.
