10 am, we met near the Castle, a small, chatty, friendly group with a knowledgeable, flexible guide who could accommodate spontaneity.. We walked for two hours, talked, laughed, enjoying the tales of Kilkenny City, and the shared stories. At the end, when parting ways, all grins from ear to ear.. A delightful tour enjoyed by all.

The walking tour was awesome. We loved all the detail and John Britton’s sense of humour. We thoroughly enjoyed the experience and would highly recommend it. We could have walked and listened to him all day.
