Kilkenny Walking Tour: Berättelser bakom medeltidsmilen
Beskrivning
De flesta besökare lämnar Kilkenny efter att ha sett byggnaderna men förstår aldrig riktigt staden. Den här turen ändrar på det. I en avslappnad liten grupp (max 15), utforska Kilkenny med en Guide född och uppvuxen här. Med början nära Kilkenny Castle, kommer du att gå genom Medeltidsmilen till platser som St Canices Cathedral medan du hör berättelserna som formade staden - invasioner, köpmän, brottslighet, politik och vardagsliv. Detta är utformat för att kännas konversation snarare än skript. Gästerna beskriver regelbundet turen som en ”bra start på vår resa” och säger att den hjälpte resten av Kilkenny att göra mycket mer meningsfull efteråt. Det finns gott om tid för frågor, lokala rekommendationer och den typ av insikter som de flesta besökare aldrig skulle hitta på egen hand. Endast små grupper (max 15) Lokal Guide född och uppvuxen i Kilkenny Storyfokuserad, avslappnad upplevelse Börjar nära Kilkenny Castle Förhandsbokning rekommenderas, särskilt på helger.

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.
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.
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.
Plan for the weather and wear comfortable shoes. Also, feel free to ask questions. The guides are knowledgeable and personable.
