Endowing an alms house could grant indulgences, easing the journey of the founder’s soul after death, and offering the same grace to those who prayed for him. Sir Richard’s foundation was carefully written into his will, ensuring that prayers for his soul would be said regularly by the residents.

Great tour!! John was an incredible guide. Our walkabout was filled with wonderful stories and interesting sights. I have to mention that John used audiophones that allowed us to hear everything he was saying especially on noisy streets.
Great Kilkenny experience!

Wonderful guide, very knowledgeable and friendly! Love the city of Kilkenny, it’s history, shops and pubs! We toured the Medieval mile from St. Mary’s church and museum, then the city on our own.
Great tour!

This is a great tour that gives you insight into many nuggets of information and sights that you would normally miss if you went exploring Kilkenny on your own - with or without a guidebook. Our tour guide John was a real font of knowledge. He was very engaging and tailored his tour depending on the size of the group, where we were from and our fitness levels. The walking tour also includes all-day entry into the museum which is fascinating in itself.

I travel a lot and I often do walking tours. This is the very best tour I’ve ever done. Our guide John is a fabulous teacher. He is engaging and very knowledgeable. He is skilled at relating a considerable amount of information in a way that is entertaining and memorable. This tour gave me a comprehensive overview of Kilkenny and helped me maximize my time in this wonderful, historical city. the museum itself is also a must see. I highly recommend this tour and I hope you are lucky enough to have John as your guide. He’s a gem.

Tour guide John was excellent by bringing to life the history of Kilkenny. Despite being from Kilkenny I learnt so much.
