THIS IS YOUR PRIVATE TOUR! During your day tour of Kilkenny, you get to choose where to go in Kilkenny and when to go. Enjoy a relaxing and flexible touring experience with your private guide. The medieval city of Kilkenny has so many activities to choose from—to start your day, take a relaxing stroll in the majestic castle park or visit ancient Kilkenny Castle—don't miss the famous picture gallery! At lunchtime, consider enjoying a hearty lunch at the famous Kyteler’s Inn (established in 1324)—an ancient medieval inn steeped in witchcraft history. After lunch, walk the Medieval Mile, visit the new Medieval Mile Museum, climb up Saint Canice’s Round Tower and enjoy spectacular views over the city, or visit the local brewery and taste some local Smithwick’s beer. Before leaving Kilkenny, make sure you stop at the Kilkenny Design Center to stock up on some traditional Irish produce and gifts to take home.

Desmond Tours is everything you could ask for and more! We toured Ireland for 10 days with Desmond Phelan of Desmond Tours and we could not have made a better choice. He was professional, kind, patient, courteous , witty, and a knowledgable Historian who not only toured us around, but also was a private guide with wonderful knowledge of the History of all the sites we visited. We learned so much about the beautiful country of Ireland! Over the ten days we laughed, joked and he became a friend, not just a tour guide. We were sad to part ways with him at the end of it all. Is a private tour more expensive than renting a car and driving yourself? (If your able to, however two Senior ladies from Canada weren’t comfortable doing that),yes it is. Was it worth it? Absolutely 100 percent and we’d do it again! We cannot thank Desmond and his wife Luisa enough for making our trip to Ireland so memorable and enjoyable! We can only hope to return to see them again someday. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts! Louanne and Anita
