Overview

Explore Kilkenny on a private walking tour with John Britton, a nationally qualified guide, member of the Approved Tourist Guides of Ireland (ATGI), officially listed with Fáilte Ireland, and born and raised in Kilkenny.
Available in English, French, or German, this fully private experience offers a relaxed and in-depth way to discover the city at your own pace. The focus is on social history, local families, and lived stories rather than simply listing dates.
The route includes the exterior of Kilkenny Castle, the Medieval Mile, the area around St. Canice’s Cathedral, and historic streets that reveal how the city developed over centuries. There is plenty of time for questions, conversation, and personalised recommendations.
Duration: approximately 2 hours.
Private tour for your group only.
