Memorable walk
We enjoyed our time in Kilkenny. John was a knowledgeable guide, highlighting the noteworthy without overwhelming us with information. It was a memorable walk.
Great Walking Tour
My husband and I did this tour with John Britton in early July and were really happy with it! John shared lots of information and was a great tour guide. We went to places that we would have never known about or visited on our own. Highly recommend. It was a highlight of out trip to Kilkenny!
Let's go walking in Kilkenny
Very informative and historical. Our guide has a very dry sense of humor and blended magnificently that humor with the some of the more stark portions of the tour. Beautiful walk around Kilkenny without taking up the whole day. Would definitely recommend doing this at least once if you are going to visit this fabulous little city. It really set the backdrop for our stay there.
Don’t miss this walking tour
Very informative and enjoyable two hour tour with John. John clearly knows the history of Kilkenny from medieval to current times. We leant about present day hurling rivalry, the many bridges and memorials, statues and churches as well as Kilkenny characters that make the city a colourful one.
Learn about the past you are walking past!
A very nice small group tour. John took us to places that don’t show up in the must see list of typical YouTube influencers, but tell you about the real city. He took us to a few of the big ticket stops, but also to a few of the small stops like a historic high school, the library, and the WW1 memorial. The small group size also meant that we could talk with John about living in Kilkenny and Ireland while walking between stops.
