What a great day! Starting with an Irish Coffee and a wonderful history of the city of Kilkenny. Our guide, Kieran was so personable, funny and friendly! We walked through the city center sampling all sorts of savories and treats. Would highly recommend! Kieran made the experience an A+! Loved our day ~ thank you!

Food was fine, guide was a bit unorganized and felt like she was following a script. Needed to be more genuine. Carla was very nice

Hello Timothy,
I’m truly sorry to hear that your tour didn’t go as perfectly as we had hoped. It seems that the absence of half your party at the start disrupted the planned itinerary. Additionally, the issue with the Bank of Ireland card readers across the country on Monday may have caught Carla off guard, which might have contributed to the difficulties.
To make up for your disappointment, we would like to offer you a complimentary ticket for our Cork tour, should you be in the area.
Thank you for your understanding, Frances

I just did the food tour with my son, and it was so relaxing. Like walking through Kilkenny with a friend. The food was fantastic, as well. We couldn’t finish it all. One note: I thought the food tour was three hours, which it is, but there is a fourth hour on the end for the included Smithwick tour, so plan accordingly.

Carla was a very knowledgeable and pleasant tour guide. We enjoyed our time with her very much. We highly recommend this tour if you want great history, a nicely paced walk around Kilkenny, and a great sampling of food. It exceeded our expectations.

Carla was such an amazing guide! She really loves her town and it shows. She was super knowledgeable and passionate! She is hands down our favorite guide we have ever had. The places she took us were fun and yummy! We loved all the Kilkenny facts and exploring the area with someone like her. Must do while in Kilkenny if you love food and adult beverages.
