Kilkenny Guided Tour

We'll meet at Rose Inn Street at the time of your choice to start our guided tour of Kilkenny. Are you ready to discover why this town is such a vibrant destination?

We'll cross the River Nore and head towards the church of St. John the Evangelist, a neo-Gothic style chapel built in the early twentieth century. We'll review its history and discover why Kilkenny is known as the city of marble.

We will admire the exterior of the fortress of Kilkenny, dating back to the 12th century. We'll discuss the Butler family and their connection to the Norman conquest of Ireland.

We will continue our tour walking through the most picturesque streets observing the medieval heritage. We will visit the Library, the Town Hall, and the exterior of the Dominican abbey and the Cathedral.
