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.

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!

Stormin Norman

The tour was very good but the physical walk was too much when handicapped. ( from the train station to Kilkenny Castle). And once we got there the castle was not open for another 45 minutes so why the hurry and push. Or guide Norman was fantastic and did a remarkable job of looking after us and our requests. He was thoughtful and very accommodating A suggestion would get to have a map of the route to be taken or walked and give a copy to each guest and that way if you get separated you know where to end up The City train ride was a blast and very enjoyable. Use the train to get people from the the train station to a Kilkenny Castle Thanks again to Norman who went out of his way to make our time memorable and enjoyable despite the obvious problem for disabled people who have to walk a fair distance and uphill too.

Respuesta del operador

Dear Glen, Thank you for your 4* review. We are delighted that Norman enhanced your experience, and that the tour was enjoyable. It would be worth noting that all our tours include a moderate level of physical activity (eg walking segments), which may not be suitable for individuals with mobility issues. This is available to read about in our T&Cs. Kind regards, The Railtours Ireland Team

Great way to travel and see Ireland!

Ease of traveling by train was a major bonus. We were able to relax, see the countryside, walk freely about the train, snack service was available and had access to a bathroom. Significantly more comfortable and enjoyable than being packed on a tour bus. Paddy, our guide, was absolutely fantastic!!! Great sense of humor!!He ensured that everyone was taken care of throughout the day. He even ensured that we had transportation lined up afterwards to return to our hotel in Dublin. Best way to travel day trip Ireland.

Wonderful Tour

We had a wonderful tour guide (Paddy) who did a fabulous job taking us around Kilkenny and telling us all the historical information. The tour seemed very personal (there were only 10 in our group) and Paddy talked with us individually on the train about the itinerary and he also gave us great tips on places to visit in Ireland. The tour of Waterford was excellent and our guide was friendly and knowledgeable. The tram through the city was a lot of fun and entertaining. It was a great tour from start to finish.
