Itinerario

Entrada no incluida150 min

Llegamos a Kilkenny a las 09:00, conocida como la Ciudad de Mármol y situada en el río Nore. Kilkenny es una hermosa y pequeña ciudad irlandesa. La mayoría de los edificios están construidos de piedra caliza negra, de ahí el nombre de Ciudad de Mármol. Kilkenny está dominado por su castillo, cuya puerta principal es nuestro punto de encuentro (o como lo indique su anfitrión). Hay varios pubs que sirven comida: 'Paris Texas' en High Street y 'Langton' en John Street Lower, ambos tienen un ambiente agradable y hacen una comida excelente. Más arriba, en High Street, está la Iglesia de la Catedral de Irlanda de San Canice. Esta hermosa catedral data del siglo XIII y, después de la reforma en 1539, se convirtió en anglicana. Vale la pena una visita (incluso si está cerrada) para fotografías, etc.

Entrada incluida105 min

Desde Kilkenny, el tour continúa a Waterford, una ciudad vikinga a orillas del río Suir (pronunciado shure). Una visita al nuevo Centro de Visitantes de Waterford Crystal se incluye en su recorrido, donde verá a artesanos que participan en las tareas tradicionales de soplar y cortar el cristal de fama mundial.

Wonderful day in Ireland

Enjoy a scenic train ride to Kilkenny where a waking tour will take you through the winding streets to the castle. The hilarious street train driver will entertain you as you drive around town some more. Hop back on the train to Waterford. Enjoy a wonderful lunch at a local restaurant (cost not included). The tour of the crystal factory is so in-depth, you’ll feel like you’re cutting the glass yourself. Don’t be fooled by the official description. This tour has much more to offer than what Viator describes. There is quite a bit of walking. There is a tour leader with you the entire time

A tour worth doing!

Excellent tour but it was regimented because of the constraints of the train schedules and the time for our Waterford Crystal factory tour. Our tour guide was excellent as we took a walking tour of Kilkenny as he pointed out the important sights of the city and telling us about them. We ate lunch in Kilkenny and toured the grounds of Kilkenny Castle. For those of us who wanted to do a self guided tour inside the castle we did so. It was only 6 euro per person. The inside is definitely worth seeing because it has been renovated. After that we did a short walk back to the train station to go to the city of Waterford and to tour the Waterford Crystal Factory. After we got off the train in Waterford we got on a road train that traveled through the neighborhoods of Waterford, a very cute city!. The only shopping we had time to do was at the crystal factory. I highly recommend this tour!

It was not fast paced, so...

It was not fast paced, so ok for kids. Restaurant was fine for some of the folks, but not for everyone. They did have gluten free bread.

Hi there, Thanks for your 3-star review. We do not advertise anywhere that this tour includes a tour of Kilkenny Castle - and the tour operated exactly as advertised. And nowhere do we advertise a 'private car tour' of Kilkenny. All the best, The Railtours Ireland Team

Exceptional White Glove Service!

Our group of 3 were the only participants on this tour so we had a guide, Paddy, all to ourselves. Paddy was knowledgeable of the towns we visited and kept us on schedule. He was helpful and went above and beyond to make our experience feel “first class.” Kilkenny Castle and the town was lovely and definitely worth a visit. We visited during the off season to avoid the crowds. Highly recommend this tour company if you are looking for train travel and a private guide.

Felt like a VIP

Great tour, no doubt. Paddy, our guide went above and beyond to help my wife and I see some extra things outside of the scheduled tour. We were treated like VIPs the entire time and saw some amazing things. Highly recommend!

Waterford Was Worth It.

We finally made it to the one place that my wife has always wanted to visit and that was to the Waterford Crystal Factory. A beautiful place and was worth it. Kilkenny Castle seemed like an afterthought but was just beautiful; but seeing the Waterford factory caped off a beautiful place to visit. Finally.

Kilkenney and Waterford

Our guide was fantastic! On the train before each stop we were given a review of the itinerary. In Kilkenny, he made sure taxi rides were availavle to and from the castle for anyone having difficulty with the 15 minute walk. He helped my mother who ended up needing a taxi on the way back and we appreciated it so much. On the train on the way back to Dublin our guide confirmed each group had a transfer plan back to their accomodations and was available to help if needed. Not only did we receive bits of history from our guide along the way but we also felt well looked after during the excursion. Highly recommend.

Great excursion

It’s a plus that this tour is by train rather than motorcoach, except for a very small portion. The guide for the city tour of Kilkenny was hilarious and very amusing. Our general guide was extremely friendly, knowledgeable, but not pushy or annoying in any way. Fun experience!
