Most visitors leave Kilkenny having seen the buildings but never really understanding the city. This tour changes that.
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 stories that shaped the city — invasions, merchants, crime, politics, and everyday life.
This is designed to feel conversational rather than scripted. Guests regularly describe the tour as a “great start to our trip” and say it helped the rest of Kilkenny make far more sense afterward.
There’s plenty of time for questions, local recommendations, and the kind of insights most visitors would never find on their own.

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....
