Get to know Kilkenny the right way

The tour guide is definitely one of the best in the business. I've been to Kilkenny twice before taking this walking tour and it was totally worth it 👌 I'll be back for sure for other similar experiences 😊

Great Introduction to Kilkenny.

This is a very nice walking tour of Kilkenny. You walk all over town, about two miles.. The guide tells you about Kilkenny’s history and the major monuments and areas. Well worth it.
