Train ride was wonderful. Castle was ok. Not enough information. Self guided. Shops were overpriced. Waterford factory was disappointing.

We had a great train journey to the Kilkenny Castle and to the Waterford crystal factory. John was an excellent guide who loved sharing his knowledge of Ireland with our group. Beautiful weather added to the views on this scenic train ride. Crystal making was shared in great detail with an up close look at all the steps. Really enjoyed!

John Todd was a dream tour guide! The day began nice and early with a chipper John who welcomed us to the family for the day. He entertained us on the train ride to Kilkenny with stories of Ireland. He showed us around Kilkenny and provided us with history and fun facts. Next, we went to the beautiful Waterford and learned about the process of making Waterford crystal. It was so cool! The whole trip John provided us with the perfect balance of guidance and freedom to explore. He checked in frequently to make sure we were having a good experience. And let me tell you, we were! I am looking forward to more tours with John in the future!

Wow what a day! John Todd was the most thoughtful and incredible guide. The first train ride to Kilkenny was easy to navigate and extremely beautiful. John shared his knowledge and fun facts about the entire country with us. In Kilkenny we got to learn about the castle as well as journey around the town on our own. Our host was sure to collect us all and make sure everyone was comfortable every step of the way. Next we were off to Waterford to learn about the amazing crystal! John was also able to share with us some wonderful facts about its Viking history and show us Vikings triangle with some extra time. He even gave us a beautiful map of Ireland to keep take with us on the train ride back to Dublin. A keepsake I will cherish forever. I can’t say enough good things about this beautiful tour. Highly recommend, and if you are able ask for John!!
