This tour was well worth...

This tour was well worth it. I learned more from John than from anything else on my trip. He was fantastic. The tour goes rain or shine.

Excellent experience

John Britton was an excellent guide. Very good history. Tour covered all key sites so it was an excellent introduction to the city.

Kilkenny in 2 hours.

John was marvellous. He was extremely informative and entertaining. We didn't need to ask too many questions. The few we asked were answered.

Excellent historical tour

This tour gave us a deeper understanding of Kilkenny’s history, and the stained glass windows at the Black Abbey were amazing.
