4.00A historically captivating experience. It has a lot of work to do to dig up more history but it is an impressive start. The self guided tour was good but we couldnt figure out the number order. We bounced all over. Still impressive. Highly recommend supporting this experience.

5.00Florida Four really enjoyed John he was so passionate and you could see he Loved telling the history before we were even done purchasing our tickets for the self guided tour he had so much information. After we were finished and leaving we met him outside as he may have been coming back from break and he helped our friend find why the "O" was dropped in his name. We will be back again John Thank you. 💚🍀

5.00Excellent museum with some very interesting artifacts. Staff are great and the self guided tour is highly recommended. Archaeological discoveries are fascinating as is the cemetery. Take soon time to talk to staff about other places to see in Kilkenny. Staff will provide you with many suggestions.

5.00We are glad we randomly stopped at this museum. John was very knowledgeable and proud of the local history. He provided us a nice city map with the essential stops clearly labeled. Without the map, we would have never seen all the important highlights this beautiful city has to offer. The audio tour was also very helpful.
