A great overview of the city especially the Viking triangle. Would recommend if visiting the town. Great stories!
Derek was a great tour guide - very knowledgeable and well spoken. Knew all the history and culture of the city. i highly recommend.
Derek was full of interesting information about the Vikings and Georgian Archaeological History of parts of Waterford City. The tour lasted two hours and it flew by. Well worth doing. Derek was very welcoming and friendly and looked after us so well. T&C from Dublin
Great 40 minute guided tour from Toby which is free with €20 4 Museum ticket. Lots of interesting insight's into local sights within short, easy walking distance including seeing the oldest neighbourhood in Ireland close to the Reginald Tower with well preserved buildings dating back to 15th Century.
Good historical facts and details.
Great tour by Jamie. Lasted precisely 35min, but very informative and I learned a great deal of information about Waterford. Definitely a must do activity if you're visiting the city.
Jamie was a fantastic guide- informative, friendly, and entertaining. He even chased us down to recommend a wonderful place for lunch. Outstanding!
Deidre (sp?) was knowledgeable and personable. It was a lovely way to spend an hour leaning about the Viking Triangle and Ireland’s oldest city. She did a great job of weaving the specifics of the tour with Ireland’s broader history.
We spent an hour with our very knowledgeable and fun guide Jamie learning all about the history of waterford, visiting all the to attractions within the viking triangle, we highly recommend you do this tour, using the : Freedom of Waterford pass, which includes the Epic walking tour and the following The Medieval Museum (Jamie was our guide). Bishop’s Palace, (fun guided tour, with a Bridgeton theme). The Irish Museum of Time, (allow a little time). Irish Silver Museum, (we feel for the peson with the polishing cloth). Christ Church Cathedral (which is free). all worth doing
