I had the great pleasure of meeting John Britton, my tour guide. He was very informative and explained all of Kilkenny's amazing history, as well as taking me to all of its historic sites. I would highly recommend John as a tour guide to anyone planning a trip to Kilkenny. Teresa.

Our guide John was friendly helpful and natural. I felt very comfortable and at home with John showing us important parts of the centre of medieval Kilkenny. It was great to have the extraordinary history shown to me and of course a very important part of my tour it didn't rain. With all the blizzard stuff happening in the world including weird weather I was very lucky.

I really enjoyed the Tour that John arranged for us. There was a nice small group so easy for us all to listen to what John had to say with his wonderful knowledge of Kilkenny City. It was a really lovely relaxing and interesting experience. I would certainly recommend John's walking tour to friends, family and groups. Many thanks John. Susan

We had a great time on our tour and learned a lot! Perfect length and good amount of information; we had a list of things to come back to see after, so do the tour at the beginning of your Kilkenny visit. Well worth the price!

We had an amazing time on the Kilkenny Historical Highlights Walking Tour with John. Even with the rain, he adjusted the route seamlessly and kept the tour fun and engaging. John is incredibly knowledgeable, easy to talk to, and had us laughing throughout. He also pointed out great photo spots and gave us excellent recommendations for the rest of our stay in Ireland. We’d recommend this tour (and John in particular) to anyone visiting Kilkenny. We’ll definitely be joining again when we’re back!

Very good tour with a local guide who was fantastically knowledgeable on all things Kilkenny. We hit all of the highlights and the length was just long enough to keep fresh and also left time to go back to spend more time at the sites visited.
