We took the tour and it was very fun. But Kilkenny has much older and more interesting attractions. If you are limited on time visit the other sites first.

we visited the castle over the weekend. The man giving the tour was very engaging and enthusiastic. The castle itself was very impressive. We left and sat in the grounds and enjoyed a coffee. Just lovely.

We didn't spend to long wondering around the castle grounds but had enough time to take in just how stunning this castle is. It is truly magnificent. I would definitely recommend stopping here if you are in or passing through Kilkenny.
