Awesome tour....... - We spent an hour with our very knowledgeable and fun guide Jamie learning all about the history of waterford, visiting all the to attractions within the viking triangle, we highly recommend you do this tour, using the : Freedom of Waterford pass, which includes the Epic walking tour and the following The Medieval Museum (Jamie was our guide). Bishop’s Palace, (fun guided tour, with a Bridgeton theme). The Irish Museum of Time, (allow a little time). Irish Silver Museum, (we feel for the peson with the polishing cloth). Christ Church Cathedral (which is free). all worth doing

Definitely take this tour! - 1000 years in 1000 steps. One of the best guides we had in Ireland. Provided great context for all we saw and interesting side stories. Note that you can buy a pass at the Bishop's House (where tour starts) for 20 euro that gives you the tour plus access to 4 or 5 museums. If you want to visit multiple museums, that is a better deal.

Walking tour/museums - The host (Ann-Marie) was very knowledgeable and funny, thoroughly enjoyed our tour. Would highly recommend stopping by a museum and buying the pass (~20 euro) for all of the Waterford museums, they were all very interesting, provided entertainment for the entire day and were well worth the money!
