Description
Découvrez plus de 20 des sites locaux les plus célèbres. La plupart des visiteurs quittent Kilkenny après avoir vu les bâtiments mais sans jamais vraiment comprendre la ville. Cette tournée change ça. En petit groupe détendu (max 15), explorez Kilkenny avec un Guide né et élevé ici. En commençant près du château de Kilkenny, vous marcherez à travers le Medieval Mile jusqu'à des endroits comme la cathédrale Saint-Canice tout en écoutant les histoires qui ont façonné la ville - invasions, marchands, criminalité, politique et vie quotidienne.
