Private escorted chauffeur driven tours to Waterford and Kilkenny
Once a bustling port, Waterford is now a thriving tourist destination, with enough sights to satisfy the most ardent history buff. Upriver, Kilkenny is Ireland’s best-preserved medieval town. Both cities will give you a privileged glimpse into a way of life which is disappearing fast elsewhere.
Just an hour away from Dublin, you’ll have left 65% of the country’s population behind you. Notice the distinct characters of the towns you visit – exploring these differences is one of the joys of touring Ireland.
Your tour, your way.
