Traveler reviews
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.
Fun and informative
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.
Enjoying the riches of Kilkenny's Ancient East heritage
Nice tour and insights into many of the rich history sites and stories of Kilkenny's ancient history.
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....
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
