Description

Discover the heart of Kilkenny 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.
This relaxed small-group walking tour is designed to give visitors a meaningful introduction to the city. The focus is on social history, local families, and lived experience rather than simply listing dates. Guests often describe the tour as informative, engaging, and the perfect way to begin their time in Kilkenny.
The route includes the Medieval Mile, the exterior of Kilkenny Castle, the area around St. Canice’s Cathedral, and historic streets that show how the city developed over centuries. Along the way, you will hear human stories, gain cultural context, and receive practical recommendations for the rest of your stay.
Groups are intentionally kept small (maximum 15 guests) to allow time for questions and conversation. The pace is relaxed and manageable, covering approximately 4 km over 2 hours. The route is suitable for most visitors.
This experience is ideal for couples and independent travelers who want authentic insight, clear explanations, and excellent value from a certified local guide.
Duration: approximately 2 hours.
Available as a shared small-group tour or private experience.
