Great and unique experience- highly recommend - We originally landed here because we booked an Irish coffee tasting. The entire tasting experience was phenomenal. We had a group of 9. To our surprise and delight, t was a private tasting in the dungeon bar area with really cool lighting and great decor. Our guide was very interesting and very engaging. He gave us a great mix of history as well as an overview of hurling and Gaelic sports. He also gave us some recommendations for other places to ga and things to do around town. We loved it so much that we went back for dinner!

Did both the Irish Coffee tasting and the Whiskey tasting - My husband and I had such a great time at the Irish Coffee tasting that we asked to add on the Whiskey tasting. Highly recommend both! JD is a fantastic host and knows a lot about coffee, whiskey and Kyteler's. Will definitely stop by again the next time we are in Kilkenny.

So entertaining and enjoyable. A must due in Kilkenny. - I am so glad to have booked this tour. Was a real highlight of our visit to Kilkenny. Everyone loved the coffee and will be trying it at home. The owner was friendly and so entertaining. Plus the history of the Kytelers Inn makes this a must due if visiting Kilkenny.

Extremely expensive - It would have been very enjoyable had it not been for the astronomical price for what we got… interesting info and as for making our own Irish coffee… we held a spoon whilst the guide poured on the cream to finish off the glass of Irish coffee.. the whole experience lasted only 35 minutes.. it cost 50€.. a more reasonable cost would have been a maximum of 25€. We went on quite a few very informative tours in Waterford.. all lasting much longer.. all with very knowledgeable guides and priced between 10 and 17€. … sorry!!
