Itinerario
Arriviamo a Kilkenny alle 09:00 - conosciuta come la città di marmo e situata sul fiume Nore. Kilkenny è una bellissima piccola città irlandese. La maggior parte degli edifici sono costruiti in pietra calcarea nera, quindi il nome di Marble City. Kilkenny è dominata dal suo castello, la cui porta d'ingresso è il nostro punto d'incontro (o come indicato dal tuo ospite). Ci sono molti bei pub che servono cibo: "Paris Texas" in High Street e "Langton's" in John Street Lower hanno entrambi una bella atmosfera e fanno ottimo cibo. Più in alto High Street è la Cattedrale della Chiesa d'Irlanda di San Canzio. Questa bellissima cattedrale risale al XIII secolo e, dopo la riforma del 1539, divenne anglicana. Vale la pena visitare (anche se chiuso) per fotografie, ecc.
Da Kilkenny, il tour continua fino a Waterford - una città vichinga sulle rive del fiume Suir (pronuncia shure). Una visita al nuovo Waterford Crystal Visitor Center è inclusa nel tuo tour, dove vedrai artigiani impegnati nei tradizionali compiti di soffiare e tagliare il famoso cristallo.

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
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!
This was a wonderful day trip to Kilkenny and Waterford Crystal. Patty our tour guide took very good care of us. Sites were timed perfectly, lunch in the pub was good. Loved traveling by train. Can't say enough good about Patty he even put us in a cab back to our hotel. Wonderful person!!!
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.
Private car tour of Kilkenny just Factory Waterford no Castle tour Kilkenny disappointed!!!
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
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.
Dear Keisha, Thank you very much for your fantastic review. We are so glad to hear you enjoyed our Kilkenny City & Waterford Crystal Day tour! Your kind words about Paddy are very much appreciated and we will pass them on. We hope we have the pleasure of welcoming you back on tour with us on your next trip to Ireland! Kind regards, The Railtours Ireland Team
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!
Dear Austin, Thank you for your lovely review. We are very glad to hear Paddy elevated your experience on tour and that you and your party felt well looked after. Thanks again and see you soon! Kind regards, The Railtours Ireland Team
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.
Dear Compass815871, Thank you for your lovely review! we are delighted to hear you enjoyed our Waterford Crystal & Kilkenny City Day tour. We hope we have the pleasure of welcoming you back on tour with us soon. Kind regards, The Railtours Ireland Team
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.
Dear Bahn, Thank you very much for your kind review! We are delighted you enjoyed our Waterford Crystal & Kilkenny City Day tour! Your kind words about the tour and our host are very much appreciated and will be passed on. We hope we have the pleasure of welcoming you back on tour with us soon! Kind regards, The Railtours Ireland Team
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!
Dear Ann, Thank you for your lovely review. We are so glad to hear you enjoyed our Waterford Crystal & Kilkenny tour and that you particularly enjoyed the train element! We hope to welcome you back on tour with us on your next trip to Ireland. Kind regards, The Railtours Ireland Team
