Most visitors see Kilkenny’s medieval buildings. This tour helps you understand the stories behind them.
In a relaxed small group (max 15), explore Kilkenny with a guide born and raised here. Starting near Kilkenny Castle, you’ll walk through the Medieval Mile to places like St. Canice's Cathedral while hearing the real stories that shaped the city — invasions, merchants, crime, politics, and everyday life.
This is not a theatrical tour or a list of dates. It’s designed to feel conversational, personal, and easy to follow.
Guests regularly say they “learned a lot” while still having fun, and many find the tour helps the rest of Kilkenny make far more sense afterward.
Small groups allow plenty of time for questions, conversation, and local recommendations. Advance booking is recommended, especially on weekends.

4.00This is a very nice walking tour of Kilkenny. You walk all over town, about two miles.. The guide tells you about Kilkenny’s history and the major monuments and areas. Well worth it.
Good way to spend a couple of hours

5.00John was our guide. Lucky for us we were the only two booked for this time slot which meant that John was our personal guide. He is so knowledgeable about the city and is happy to stop to answer any of our questions. A very pleasant guy and we would highly recommend taking the time to take this tour.
Well worth it....

5.00We enjoyed John’s tour so much the first time that we brought our family back to do it again. Funny, insightful, and engaging. He hits all the major places and a few you would miss with out a local guide.
