A visit worth it! - We enjoyed the guided tour of Kilkenny in French led by John. He knows his city very well and speaks enthusiastically about it. This allowed us to visit places in Kilkenny that we would never have discovered alone. The historical details also interested us greatly. Thank you, John!
