Medieval Kilkenny

Discover Ireland’s Medieval Heart in Style.

Step into Ireland’s rich past with a private, driver-guided tour to the stunning city of Kilkenny renowned for its medieval charm, vibrant artisan scene, and striking architecture. Departing from Dublin, this full-day experience blends luxury travel, local insight, and tailored exploration, offering you an unforgettable journey through the heart of Ireland.



Begin your day with a visit to the iconic 12th-century Kilkenny Castle. Explore its grand halls, period furnishings, and picturesque gardens—all steeped in noble Irish history. Afterwards take a stroll on the Medieval Mile walking through cobbled lanes lined with ancient churches, merchant houses and secret passageways. 

Stop for lunch in one of Kilkenny’s top restaurants or gastro pubs and afterwards climb the historic St. Canice’s Round Tower for panoramic city views, or admire the intricate architecture and medieval tombs of the Cathedral below. A visit to St Canice's Cathedral would not be complete without seeing the Red Book of Ossory, written over 700 years ago and containing amongst its pages is the first recorded recipe for Aqua Vitae, known today as whiskey.

Kilkenny is a hub for Irish craft and design from hand-thrown pottery to bespoke jewellery. After a day visiting historic sites and soaking up the medieval atmosphere of this compact city we make the pleasant journey back to Dublin.
