Kilkenny flavour - Sharon was a wonderful guide, on a very chilly night! She showed us how to get to the “Hole in the wall” bar, where all of us on the tour spent a couple of wonderful hours with local musicians, singers & other performers.

History Meets Hauntings: A Must-Do Kilkenny Experience - Filled with history, mystery, and just the right amount of darkness, this tour was an absolute highlight of our trip to Kilkenny. Our guide brought the city’s haunted past to life with fascinating stories, eerie legends, and a great sense of humor. We learned so much about Kilkenny’s medieval history while exploring its shadowy streets and hidden corners. It was equal parts educational and spine-chilling — we had a great time from start to finish! Highly recommend for anyone who loves history with a ghostly twist. 👻
