Highly recommend

Our guide told very interesting stories about the local history, that we would not have known if we had not gone on the tour.

Informative and interesting

John was a terrific tour guide. He shared his knowledge and love of Kilkenny with us. We were only in Kilkenny for 2 days so this was a great way to cover the highlights of the area.

Great walking tour

This tour informs you of how Kilkenney came to be and the changes that took place over time. John Britton is a mine of information about the growth and development of the city.
