Don’t go on a Sunday

4.00Sunday is not a good day to go to Kilkenny. Much of it is closed, and we couldn’t get into the cathedral because they were having choir practice.
Family day out

5.00This tour was the highlight of my trip to Ireland, made so by our tour guide, Liam. His energy, enthusiasm, and vast knowledge of Irish history brought the sites to life in a delightful and memorable way. He offered his own personalized walking tours or the opportunity to venture out on our own. His charming personality had us all tagging along behind him as if he were the pied piper. Liam welcomed and answered every question asked of him. He treated every single person as if they were his best friend. Liam and Eddie, our driver, were a great team. They kept us on schedule and genuinely enjoyed each other's company. The bus was extremely comfortable and clean. Do not hesitate to book this tour! It doesn't get any better!

5.00I booked this trip last minute the night before and I'm so glad I did. This tour was so scenic and the tour guide, Neal, was very interactive with everyone and knowledgeable. I really enjoyed the sheep dog demonstration and I think my favorite part was the walk through Glendalough National Park. Unfortunately, it rained most of the time while we were in Kilkenny, but we some short stretches of sunshine for some beautiful pictures of the different landmarks. I would highly recommend this tour. Thank you to the guide, Neal, and bus driver, John!
Awesome Day
