Join me, John, for an engaging and informative walking tour of the city that is closest to my heart, Kilkenny. This two-hour stroll will take you past the major landmarks, as well as a few lesser-known gems that don’t make it into the travel books. Along the way, you will be treated to engaging tales about the personalities that make Kilkenny such an exciting place to visit. As we keep our group sizes small, you’ll be able to ask me any questions you have, and I’ll be glad to share insights drawn from my lifetime in this city.
I’m a native of Kilkenny city, with years of research and storytelling under my belt in English, French, and German. As a historian and resident, the stories from my childhood and the wealth of knowledge I’ve gained over time add depth to our exploration.
I have earned a National Tour Guiding qualification, a BA (hons) in Language Studies, and am a certified member of the Approved Tourist Guides of Ireland.
