John was a great local guide. Great local history and insight. Booked the day before and we were lucky to be the only two on the walk. (Many operators may have cancelled) Great way to see and understand local history. Would recommend to anyone, avoid just walking alone with no history behind.
I’m delighted you and Stacey enjoyed the walk and the chance to explore Kilkenny with a local perspective. It was a real pleasure having the two of you on tour, and I’m glad the timing worked out so you could enjoy a more personal experience. Sharing the stories, history, and hidden corners of the city is always a joy, and it means a lot to hear you found it worthwhile. Kilkenny really comes alive when you know the people and the past behind the streets.
John was fantastic, thorough and informative. Highly recommend him to anyone who comes to Kilkenny or the environs.

Thank you for Taking time out to write a review. It was a pleasure to guide you through the medieval streets of Kilkenny. I am glad you enjoyed the tour
What an excellent tour of Kilkenny!! John was a wonderful tour guide full of stories around every corner of the city. He starts his tours at the foot of St Canace’s because as he explains, St Canace is really how Kilkenny got its start. He took us through lanes and byways we never would have found on our own and gave us a terrific understanding of this amazing city. We love history and this was truly an amazing tour including St Canace’s, Black Abbey (gorgeous inside), the history of the breweries, Rothe House, Kyteler’s, Butter Slip, and so much more. Our tour ended after a stroll through the beautiful grounds of Kilkenny Castle, the stables, and Butler House and Gardens. John was clearly known and loved about town as demonstrated by the smiling faces who greeted him at our stops and along the way. A great tour guide and a wonderful tour filled with history and beauty in this amazing town. We highly recommend John for your tour if you are lucky enough to book with him!
