Atale of two Cats - I am a Corkman and we do not like the Cats, so compliments dont come easy. This however is an absolutely top class tour. Tours can be a bit tedious. Nevin however, has done his homework well in that every detail is researched and delivered in an interesting and humorous way. Kilkenny has an amazing history and unique culture. Well worth it.

Informational & Energetic experience - Absolutely Marvelous tour. My husband and I came to town for part of our honeymoon and couldn't be happier with the energy this tour brought to the day. We got to learn some significant history and have a grand time with the group while sightseeing. Definitely book the tour if you're visiting Kilkenny!
