Step into the narrow streets and winding lanes of medieval Kilkenny on a relaxed walking tour led by your Valhalla guide. Once one of Ireland’s most important medieval cities, Kilkenny is filled with Norman history, colourful characters and remarkable stories hidden behind its beautifully preserved buildings.
Beginning near the imposing Kilkenny Castle, we’ll explore the city’s famous Medieval Mile and uncover the people and events that shaped its past. Along the way, you’ll discover historic landmarks such as the Tholsel, the Butter Slip, Rothe House and St Canice’s Cathedral, while hearing stories of wealthy merchants, powerful families, rebellious townspeople and notorious local characters.
This is not a dry history lesson. Your Valhalla guide brings Kilkenny’s past to life through entertaining stories, local knowledge and the occasional tale that may have grown slightly taller with age. There will also be time to admire the architecture, capture photographs and get recommendations for places to explore during your free time.
