We enjoyed the guided tour of Kilkenny in French led by John. He knows his city very well and speaks enthusiastically about it. This allowed us to visit places in Kilkenny that we would never have discovered alone. The historical details also interested us greatly. Thank you, John!

Beautiful discovery on foot of Kilkenny thanks to our guide John in French (very rare in Ireland). John is very professional and passionate about the city and its history. Following our request he even advised us an excellent pub for lunch.
