Kilkenny Walking Tour : Geschichten hinter der mittelalterlichen Meile
Beschreibung
Die meisten Besucher verlassen Kilkenny, nachdem sie die Gebäude gesehen haben, aber die Stadt nie wirklich verstanden haben. Diese Tour ändert das. In einer entspannten Kleingruppe (max. 15) erkunden Sie Kilkenny mit einem hier geborenen und aufgewachsenen Fortgeschrittener. Beginnend in der Nähe von Kilkenny Castle wandern Sie durch die Mittelaltermeile zu Orten wie der St. Canice’s Cathedral, während Sie die Geschichten hören, die die Stadt prägten – Invasionen, Händler, Kriminalität, Politik und Alltag. Dies ist so konzipiert, dass es sich gesprächig anfühlt, anstatt geskriptet. Gäste beschreiben die Tour regelmäßig als „großartigen Start in unsere Reise“ und sagen, dass sie dem Rest von Kilkenny danach viel mehr Sinn gemacht habe. Es gibt viel Zeit für Fragen, lokale Empfehlungen und solche Einblicke, die die meisten Besucher niemals alleine finden würden. Nur Kleingruppen (max. 15) Ortskundiger Reiseleiter geboren und aufgewachsen in Kilkenny Storyorientiertes, entspanntes Erlebnis Starts in der Nähe von Kilkenny Castle Voranmeldung empfohlen, vor allem am Wochenende.

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.
Hi Angela, Thank you very much for taking the time to write this great review, it was a pleasure to welcome you to Kilkenny. I'm glad that you appreciated the humour with the reverence that I treat the serious stories. I hope that you enjoyed your time in Ireland. Kind regards John
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.
Hi Sylvia, Thank you so much for taking the time to write this fabulous review. It was pleasure to welcome both of you to KIlkenny. I hope that you got to see some of the hurling weekend. I hope that you had a wonderful time in Ireland, and a safe journey home. Kind regards John
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.
Hi Marc, Thank you so much for taking the time to write this great review. It was a pleasure to welcome you to Kilkenny. I am delighted that you enjoyed the parts of the city that are often overlooked, and at certain times of the year are far more photogenic than the areas every influencer and his dog publish online. I am also happy that you appreciated being able to have a conversation with me as we go around. Most people are afraid to ask questions in a large group, and I was happy to answer your questions as we went around. I hope that you enjoyed the rest of your time in Ireland. Kind regards John
Plan for the weather and wear comfortable shoes. Also, feel free to ask questions. The guides are knowledgeable and personable.
