La perfetta introduzione al tour a piedi di Kilkenny
Descrizione
Ammira più di 20 delle più famose attrazioni locali. La maggior parte dei visitatori lascia Kilkenny dopo aver visto gli edifici ma senza mai capire veramente la città. Questo tour cambia le cose. In un piccolo gruppo rilassato (max 15), esplora Kilkenny con una Guida nata e cresciuta qui. Partendo vicino al Castello di Kilkenny, camminerai attraverso il Medieval Mile fino a luoghi come la Cattedrale di San Canice mentre ascolti le storie che hanno plasmato la città: invasioni, mercanti, crimine, politica e vita quotidiana. Questo è progettato per sentirsi conversare piuttosto che sceneggiato. Gli ospiti descrivono regolarmente il tour come un “ottimo inizio del nostro viaggio” e dicono che ha aiutato il resto di Kilkenny a dare molto più senso dopo. C'è tutto il tempo per domande, raccomandazioni locali e il tipo di informazioni che la maggior parte dei visitatori non troverebbe mai da sola. Solo piccoli gruppi (max 15) Guida locale nata e cresciuta a Kilkenny Esperienza incentrata sulla storia e rilassata Inizia vicino a Kilkenny Castle Prenotazione anticipata consigliata, soprattutto nei fine settimana.

John gave us a good tour of Kilkenny and its extensive history, including kilkenny castle, the church (we even climbed the round tour), the black abbey, Carnegie library (he built over 80 libraries in Ireland), the river, old city walls, witch trial in Kilkenny, Oliver Cromwell, hurling, restaurant recommendations, and much more. He knows his stuff! Good overview of Kilkenny to get your bearings to this lovely city.
