About This Tour

Kilkenny and Waterford are two of Ireland’s finest cities, and they could not be more different. Kilkenny is a medieval gem with a grand Norman castle, winding cobbled streets and a craft scene that draws artists from across the country. Waterford is older still, founded by Vikings in 914 AD, and it wears its history with a quiet pride that rewards anyone willing to explore.

This private two-day tour gives you both. Your driver-guide collects you from Dublin and takes the scenic route south, setting the pace to suit you. In Kilkenny, you have time to properly explore the castle grounds, walk the Medieval Mile and perhaps duck into one of the renowned craft studios. The following day, Waterford reveals its Viking roots through an excellent medieval museum and a cultural quarter that buzzes with galleries, restaurants and live music.

The vehicle and driver-guide are fully licensed by the Irish Government Transport Authority, and the experience tickets covering major attractions are included in the price. This is the kind of tour where you can linger over a coffee in a centuries-old laneway without anyone hurrying you along.
