Kilkenny Walking Tour with John Comerford
About
John Comerford was born and raised in County Kilkenny and is a qualified tour guide, and his walk is built around the stories he has gathered over a lifetime in the city. It is an easy-paced introduction to the medieval city that mixes the big landmarks with the smaller corners and characters most visitors walk straight past. Tours start at the bust of St Canice in Irishtown, at the bottom of the steps up to the cathedral, and run every day, rain or shine. Groups are kept small, and private tours can be arranged.
