Waterford Crystal & Kilkenny City

Small Group Tour

Waterford Crystal & Kilkenny City

Discover Irish history and traditions on this full-day trip from Dublin to Waterford and Kilkenny. Meet your driver/guide and depart Dublin in a luxury vehicle. You will enjoy a panoramic tour of the Viking City of Waterford followed by a tour of the iconic House of Waterford Crystal. Later travel to Kilkenny for a private walking tour through the heart of this medieval city.

House of Waterford

A visit to the House of Waterford allows you to experience the sheer divinity of fine crystal, as well as the masterful techniques that create such opulent visions of beauty. Nothing compares with the atmosphere of the blowing room, the heady mix of heat, noise, and bustling activity makes this experience even more breath-taking as you edge closer to the 1400c furnace. In front of your eyes, you will see red-hot molten crystal take shape, in a miracle of light, heat, and skill. Our craftsmen are meticulous, and you can watch as they transform glowing balls of molten crystal into elegant shapes with skills that have made two hundred years of perfection visible in every piece. Afterward enjoy a light lunch in a Waterford café or shop the collection in the onsite 12,000 square feet retail store.

Kilkenny

Kilkenny the Medieval Capital of Ireland. See all Kilkenny has to offer on our private walking tour, from the 13th-century castle, historic laneways, medieval townhouses, and Ireland’s oldest brewery Smithwick’s. Great cafes, bars, and Kilkenny’s famous bar, Kytelers Inn, where Ireland’s only Witch Burning took place in 1324.

Kilkenny Castle stands dramatically on a strategic height that commands a crossing on the River Nore and dominates the ‘High Town’ of Kilkenny City. Over the eight centuries of its existence, many additions and alterations have been made to the fabric of the building, making Kilkenny Castle today a complex structure of various architectural styles.

  1. Waterford City – Irelands oldest city, a blend of ancient and modern with a Viking heritage
  2. House of Waterford – home of Ireland’s finest crystal masterpieces
