Great tour with hundreds of years of Waterford history! - What a great tour! A great introduction to Waterford history and lots of great recommendations of other things to do. I would recommend at the start of your trip. Debbie was great!

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!

The Viking Triangle, a march through history. - Had very good time, with each of my family members having similar feelings. Our tour guide was great, she was informative, spoke quite clearly and answered all of our questions.

Fascinating walk - Very enjoyable walk, great guide in Liam, tells a good story! Short enough to keep our youngster entertained, gives a sense of the city and museums also.

Vikings, Flags, and Swords, Oh My! - My mom was visiting and we did this Epic Viking Triangle tour. It was all so interesting. The pace was perfect, and the tour guide (Anna) was absolutely fabulous! I think my favorite piece of information was about Thomas Francis Magher (I might be spelling that incorrectly). I had no idea who he was and why he was significant to Ireland. He was certainly an interesting person! Waterford has always been extremely interesting to me, but learning more about its history made it even better. I highly recommend this tour.

Don’t bother - Deborah, our guide was apparently in a hurry! A 50mn tour became a marathon of 36mn with no interesting stories. The tour is not focused at all on Viking’s. We are very disappointed. A waste of time. We don’t recommend.

No viking tour - This tour has nothing to do with Vikings. You walk around the block and 90% are told about the periods far after the Vikings. So a little misleading. The host did her best but I didn't care. Unfortunately 10 euros too much for these 45 minutes.
