Kilkenny City & Castle
Discover the medieval charm of Kilkenny City and the majestic Kilkenny Castle with LeaTours’ luxury tour. Immerse yourself in the rich history, vibrant arts scene, and stunning architecture of this iconic Irish destination, all while enjoying the comfort and elegance of our premium chauffeured service.
Whatever Your Heart Desires
Begin your enchanting journey as we collect you from your accommodation and head to the awe-inspiring Rock of Cashel. This iconic medieval monastic site has dominated the skyline since the 12th century, but its history stretches back to the 5th century AD when St. Patrick converted King Aenghus of Munster. Home to one of Europe’s most remarkable collections of Celtic art and medieval architecture, we’ll spend time exploring the site and its Visitor Centre.
Tour Itinerary
Your day begins as your private chauffeur collects you from your accommodation and drives you to the heart of Kilkenny City. Start your exploration with a leisurely stroll through the city’s medieval streets, where you’ll discover charming shops, cafes, and historic sites. Visit St. Canice’s Cathedral and climb the round tower for panoramic views of the city, or explore the bustling Kilkenny Design Centre for unique Irish crafts and gifts.
Next, we’ll visit the majestic Kilkenny Castle, a symbol of Ireland’s rich heritage. Enjoy a guided tour of the castle’s beautifully restored interiors, including the grand drawing room, the elegant library, and the impressive gallery. Wander through the extensive gardens and parklands that surround the castle, offering a peaceful retreat with stunning views of the River Nore.
After your castle tour, relax and enjoy lunch at one of Kilkenny’s top dining spots. Choose from a variety of restaurants offering traditional Irish cuisine or modern culinary delights, ensuring a satisfying and delicious meal.
Spend the afternoon exploring more of Kilkenny City’s attractions at your own pace. You might visit the Rothe House, a beautifully preserved 16th-century merchant’s townhouse, or take a walk along the River Nore. If you prefer, enjoy some leisure time shopping in the city’s many boutiques or simply soak in the vibrant atmosphere.
