Kilkenny, Ireland

2 hours (approximately)
Offered in: German

Discover Kilkenny on a guided city tour with John Britton, certified National Tour Guide and founder of Ormonde Language Tours. In a small group, explore the historic streets of this traditional city in south-east Ireland – about 90 minutes from Dublin.

The tour tells the story of Kilkenny from its Norman foundation in the Middle Ages to the present day. Instead of dry data, expect vivid, human stories about power, religion, trade and change. You will stand in front of the imposing Kilkenny Castle, walk through medieval alleys and learn how each era has left its mark.

The tour takes place exclusively outdoors and offers the perfect orientation for your further stay – informative, authentic and well structured.
