The first tower on the site was built by Vikings after 914 and formed the apex of the triangular settlement, an area known to this day as the Viking Triangle. Re-built by the Anglo Normans in the 12th century the top two floors were added in the 15th century.

My wife and I joined Bernadette’s tour hoping for general knowledge on the city, and what we got was a knowledgeable and impassioned local guide who sparked inside of us a want to see a city continue to reinvest in itself through its fascinating histories and museums. We ended up staying a bit longer and supporting local artisans because of Bernadette’s excellent direction and great love for her city. She also clearly knows people as we were able get inside scoops on certain things that only a well-esteemed local could. Highly recommend!

Derek was our tour guide. His knowledge of the history of Ireland and in particular, Waterford, was amazing. When he showed us the various historical buildings, streets, memorials, etc. he gave us an historical context that explained the importance to local, national and even world events.

After 35 minutes still on the first stop of ten. Stopped and talk right at the main highway, so very difficult to hear.

Our guide, John, was knowledgable, but had a habit of talking while walking in front of us and everyone was having trouble hearing him. Someone asked him to move us away from traffic so we could hear him. I appreciated his pointing out details that I would not have found on my own. I learned a lot about Waterford.
