5/5 Stars | Pat Made the Medieval Mile Come Alive
Christopher L,Jun 2, 2026
- Review from Tripadvisor
5.00We toured the Medieval Mile with Pat during what turned out to be the hottest days on record in Ireland. Not exactly ideal conditions for walking the old city streets. But Pat was absolutely unfazed. His energy, enthusiasm, and depth of knowledge never wavered for a single moment despite the heat. Pat has a genuine gift for storytelling. He brought the history of Kilkenny to life in a way that felt personal and vivid rather than rehearsed. From the castle to the cathedral and every lane in between, he wove together centuries of history with humor and warmth that kept our whole group engaged throughout. We were a family of four, and Pat read the room perfectly, keeping things accessible and entertaining without ever talking down to anyone. Even in brutal heat, we were hanging on every word. If you’re visiting Kilkenny, don’t skip this tour and don’t skip Pat. He is the real deal. We came away with a much richer appreciation for the city, and honestly, Pat’s passion for the history made the heat completely forgettable. Highly recommend.

5.00Pat used his training in theatrics to make this tour a delightful trip into time. He used humor and stories to bring it to life. This was one of the very best walking tours I’ve taken.
Amazing walk with Pat!

5.00We had a fantastic morning walk with Pat around Killkenny! He was a multi-generational local to the area that had so much knowledge of all the history and the architecture. We could not have asked for anything more special during our stay here. Thank you Pat!
Excellent

5.00This tour was absolutely fascinating and incredibly accurate when we did our own research as well. Pat is a true actor and which makes for an engaging history lesson and his knowledge of past and present Kilkenney is extraordinary. We have recalled so many of his stories while we continued our trip!
Loved it.
