What travellers are saying
- Adithya K1 contributionWell picked destinations. Very friendly staff, well maintained coach. On time departure and arrival. Good guide and driverWritten 16 March 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Patricia F1 contributionAn unforgettable trip! Pat was a very knowledgeable and attentive guide, always open to talk to everyone on the bus and get to know each of us individually. He certainly added to the magic of the places we were visiting. I certainly recommend it!Written 16 March 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Анастасия К7 contributionsThe trip was quite good.
Maybe if there was more complex information about places, or some interesting facts about Ireland and Irish people - it would be great. Apart from that, The bus is comfortable, but there was no charging plugs for a phone, which is pretty nice to have during the all-day trip.
Also I like that we had enough our personal time to explore everything.
The best part is sheepdogs show of course!
Thanks :)Written 16 March 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Stephanie FTroy, MI4 contributionsWe (myself and my two adult sons in their twenties) did the walking tour with Nevin and it was a great time. He is energetic and very informative. Keeps the pace moving. A great way to see a little more in depth view of the city.Written 16 March 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

John was a great tour guide with a vast knowledge of Kilkenny historyWritten 9 March 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Tilea T12 contributionsWe fully enjoyed our boat tour in Kilkenny. Cliff shared the perfect amount of history, local hotspots, as well as knowledge of birds we spotted along the way. For early October there was an expected chill in the air, however on the water the sun was shining and with proper outerwear we were very comfortable! We highly recommend the tour for a unique perspective of a fabulous city.Written 11 October 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Victoria R1 contributionWhat an amazing day!! Starting from the first train ride John Todd was absolutely wonderful. He told stories and gave us history lessons all along the way. We learned loads about this beautiful country with the ease and comfort of our own private guide. John was super helpful with taking our photo at each location. Thanks for capturing our memories!! This tour (and our guide) were top notch!!Written 22 November 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Nikki BNarragansett, RI14 contributionsOur tour with A Knight for Hire was absolutely fantastic! With just the two of us, we enjoyed a private, personalized experience. Dylan was incredibly knowledgeable and engaging as he guided us through the Medieval Mile, highlighting fascinating historical sites along the way. One of the highlights was a stop at a tower with private access, where Dylan showcased his impressive collection of swords and explained the details of his suit of armor. Despite joking about his struggles with history class in school, his deep knowledge of Kilkenny's history was truly remarkable. We highly recommend this unique and unforgettable experience!Written 2 January 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Paul S1 contributionPat did an awesome job bringing to life the history of Kilkenny - from the Norman conquest to the rule of the merchant class. And of course the political power of the Catholic Church was always a factor. An authentic presentation that was interesting and informative.Written 30 August 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.
