5.00John was very helpful from the start by showing us the best parking spot and how to get to his tour. He was very friendly and knowledgeable, always giving us interesting information about all the historical sights and cultural spots throughout our 2+ hour tour. Fascinating information and valuable insight to places we’d never find on our own.
Highly recommend John for Kilkenny tours!

5.00Our tour with John was wonderful. He took so much time and care to make sure we got the most out of our visit to Kilkenny. From they abbeys to the castle and everything in between, John’s knowledge of history and interesting anecdotes made for a very enjoyable experience. He even tailored our tour to our kids when he learned that they were fans of Wolfwalkers and Cartoon Saloon. Thanks for the fantastic tour, John!

5.00John picked us up from the hotel and stood by with umbrellas! We found his stories and anecdotes about Kilkenny very interesting and felt like VIP's as we were the only ones that had booked that morning because of the quiet season. Also John gave us some tips to go to dinner, which we heeded and were not disappointed! 🫶✨️ A great day!

5.00Neither of us knew anything about Kilkenny. It is a town that is very easy to negotiate once you have directions not many inclines. Our guide John was so pleasant & his wealth of knowledge was second to none. We would definitely recommend this walking tour with John & will join it again if in Kilkenny town.

5.00Our tour guide John was amazing. Very friendly, great communicator, clear and open to all questions, good fun too. John has a keen interest in all things Kilkenny and certainly knows his stuff. Lots of walking involved and various steps/ alleys, definitely not suitable for anybody with impaired mobility. We had John all to ourselves as was a Sunday and November slower for bookings. Thanks for a great tour!
