Let’s talk about preparing for your Walking Tours experience in Kilkenny. Given that we’re undertaking a 55 to 180 minute walking tour with an average rating of 4.9/5 and so many different tours available (23!), it's essential to be comfortable and prepared for some light movement and potentially changeable weather.
The key thing is footwear – you'll be on your feet a fair amount, so sturdy, comfortable shoes are absolutely crucial. Trainers or walking boots would be ideal. If the weather looks uncertain, bringing waterproof footwear or shoes with water-resistant properties is definitely worthwhile.
Considering the duration of these tours, layering clothing is a smart approach. You might start out warm, but as you move around Kilkenny and depending on the time of day, you could find yourself needing to adjust your layers. A light jacket or fleece would be perfect for this.
Finally, don’t forget essentials like an umbrella if rain is predicted, and perhaps a small bottle of water, especially during longer tours – particularly given that the top-rated tour at £17 offers a fantastic value experience.
