Our 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 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.
