We komen aan in Kilkenny om 09:00 - bekend als de Marble City en gelegen aan de rivier de Nore. Kilkenny is een mooie kleine Ierse stad. De meeste gebouwen zijn gebouwd van zwarte kalksteen, vandaar de naam Marble City. Kilkenny wordt gedomineerd door zijn kasteel, waarvan de voorste poort ons ontmoetingspunt is (of zoals aangegeven door je gastheer). Er zijn verschillende leuke pubs die eten serveren: 'Paris Texas' op High Street en 'Langton's' op John Street Lower hebben beide een leuke sfeer en doen heerlijk eten. Verderop in High Street is de Church of Ireland Cathedral of St Canice. Deze prachtige kathedraal dateert uit de 13e eeuw en werd na de reformatie in 1539 Anglicaans. Het is zeker een bezoek waard (zelfs als het gesloten is) voor foto's, etc.
Vanuit Kilkenny gaat de tour verder naar Waterford - een Vikingstad aan de oevers van de rivier de Suir (uitgesproken als Shure). Een bezoek aan het nieuwe Waterford Crystal Visitor Center is inbegrepen in uw rondleiding, waar u ambachtslui zult zien die zich bezighouden met de traditionele taken van het blazen en snijden van het wereldberoemde kristalglas.

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.

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
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.
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
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.
Dear W D, Thank you for your wonderful review! We are delighted you enjoyed the tour! Your complimentary remarks about our lovely host, Paddy, are 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
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.
Dear Judy, Thank you very much for your very kind review! We are absolutely thrilled to hear you enjoyed our Waterford Crystal & Kilkenny City Day Tour! Your complimentary remarks about our lovely host, Paddy, are much appreciated and will be passed on. We hope to welcome you back on tour with us again soon! Kind regards, The Railtours Ireland Team
