Beschrijving

De meeste bezoekers verlaten Kilkenny nadat ze de gebouwen hebben gezien, maar de stad nooit echt hebben begrepen. Deze tour verandert dat. In een ontspannen kleine groep (max 15), verken Kilkenny met een Gids geboren en getogen hier. Beginnend in de buurt van Kilkenny Castle, wandel je via de Medieval Mile naar plaatsen als St. Canice's Cathedral terwijl je de verhalen hoort die de stad hebben gevormd - invasies, kooplieden, misdaad, politiek en het dagelijks leven. Dit is ontworpen om conversatie te voelen in plaats van script. Gasten beschrijven de tour regelmatig als een “geweldige start van onze reis” en zeggen dat het de rest van Kilkenny daarna veel zinvoller heeft geholpen. Er is genoeg tijd voor vragen, lokale aanbevelingen en het soort inzichten dat de meeste bezoekers zelf nooit zouden vinden. Alleen kleine groepen (max 15) Lokale Gids geboren en getogen in Kilkenny Verhaalgerichte, ontspannen ervaring Begint in de buurt van Kilkenny Castle Vooraf reserveren aanbevolen, vooral in het weekend.

Let's go walking in Kilkenny

Very informative and historical. Our guide has a very dry sense of humor and blended magnificently that humor with the some of the more stark portions of the tour. Beautiful walk around Kilkenny without taking up the whole day. Would definitely recommend doing this at least once if you are going to visit this fabulous little city. It really set the backdrop for our stay there.

Don’t miss this walking tour

Very informative and enjoyable two hour tour with John. John clearly knows the history of Kilkenny from medieval to current times. We leant about present day hurling rivalry, the many bridges and memorials, statues and churches as well as Kilkenny characters that make the city a colourful one.

Learn about the past you are walking past!

A very nice small group tour. John took us to places that don’t show up in the must see list of typical YouTube influencers, but tell you about the real city. He took us to a few of the big ticket stops, but also to a few of the small stops like a historic high school, the library, and the WW1 memorial. The small group size also meant that we could talk with John about living in Kilkenny and Ireland while walking between stops.

Hi Marc, Thank you so much for taking the time to write this great review. It was a pleasure to welcome you to Kilkenny. I am delighted that you enjoyed the parts of the city that are often overlooked, and at certain times of the year are far more photogenic than the areas every influencer and his dog publish online. I am also happy that you appreciated being able to have a conversation with me as we go around. Most people are afraid to ask questions in a large group, and I was happy to answer your questions as we went around. I hope that you enjoyed the rest of your time in Ireland. Kind regards John

Get to know Kilkenny the right way

The tour guide is definitely one of the best in the business. I've been to Kilkenny twice before taking this walking tour and it was totally worth it 👌 I'll be back for sure for other similar experiences 😊
