5.00Our guide David was outstanding, knowledgeable, thorough and witty. There wasn't a single question that David couldn't answer. He not only covered Kilkenny's history but was able give us Ireland's current political and economic state. The tour was a highlight of our stay in Ireland.
The tour was an unforgettable journey through time

5.00The guide was knowledgeable and incredibly passionate about the history of Kilkenny. At St. Canice’s Cathedral, we saw splendid architecture. The mysterious Butterslip was a highlight for us, where narrow passageways felt like stepping to a secret world into a journey through time.
