We had an amazing time on the Kilkenny Historical Highlights Walking Tour with John. Even with the rain, he adjusted the route seamlessly and kept the tour fun and engaging. John is incredibly knowledgeable, easy to talk to, and had us laughing throughout. He also pointed out great photo spots and gave us excellent recommendations for the rest of our stay in Ireland. We’d recommend this tour to anyone visiting Kilkenny. We’ll definitely be joining again when we’re back!

John Britton was our guide on the Kilkenny tour. He’s the BEST. Outstanding good-humored personality, nicely dressed in a professional sense, and extremely knowledgeable. John keeps things moving in terms of the narrative, and at the same time, he allows for people’s questions to be answered. I appreciated his additional assistance in advising about making travel connections.
