Medieval Mile Museum - Was in Kilkenny for the day and decided I would go here. I learned a lot about history and the artifacts and tombs and everything else. It was definitely worth it and I would go again.

Medieval Mile Museum was great - Was great-did the audio tour but the written material was plenty of info. The Lego hunt for additional info was fun for all of us-no one younger than 20- a creative way to engage the kid in all of us. Docent was very helpful and informative. Recommend!

The staff are amazing - I intended to just visit the muesum but John told me about a walking tour later that morning so I signed up. The museum is well laid out and you follow the numbers with your audio guide. It works very well. For the walking tour John gave us an overview of historical Kilkenny and took us around town. He makes history come alive with his entertaining and funny style.

Fascinating Tour of the Medieval Mile Museum and Cemetery - We opted for the guided tour and it was exceptional. Our guide was able to explain so many of the events and eras of the artifacts that it made it really come to life. I highly recommend the guided tour.

Museum tour made great by staff - Well Worth a visit. We had the added bonus of John, I think that was his name, who gave us a quick explanation of what is what in the museum. Fully of knowledge and a passionate man. Museum is the same as all but a guided tour, if all are like John, would be the way to do it.

Not another church visit - This is not another church vist, it’s a very interesting explanation of medieval times through stone sculptures and carving. The audio tour is easy to use

Good for someone who doesn't like museums - The museum didn't seem to have many exhibits; this bothered my husband who loves museums but made me happy since I quickly become bored in museums. The audio guide was informative and well done but it was often difficult to figure out where the next number was.
