Hats off to Zac!
Zac did a wonderful job showing us around and describing the history of Kilkenny castle and the history of the area along with the Waterford area and history. The Waterford tour(bought separately) was very well done. Zac is very personable and well informed on all things Irish. Hats off to him!

The only way to see Waterford and Kilkenny
The journey was great principally because of our tour guide, Pat, who dropped us off door to door everywhere and showed us exactly where to go for every stop.
via Tripadvisor
The chauffeur was quite lovely with enthusiasm sharing Irish history and his love for Ireland. The cost was a bit steep.
Cost is prohibitive for the length of trip with the booking company receiving more money than the driver. Please allow more time visiting the destinations instead of sitting in traffic.
Response from the operator: Thank you for your feedback 🙏

Dublin To Kilkenny Castle Waterford Crystal Private Car - Day Tour: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Dublin.
How much does Dublin To Kilkenny Castle Waterford Crystal Private Car - Day Tour cost?
+
Prices start at $707 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Dublin usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Dublin To Kilkenny Castle Waterford Crystal Private Car - Day Tour take?
+
Plan for about 8.5 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Dublin is not rushed.
Is Dublin To Kilkenny Castle Waterford Crystal Private Car - Day Tour worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 62 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.8/5 across 11 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Dublin, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Dublin To Kilkenny Castle Waterford Crystal Private Car - Day Tour?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Dublin To Kilkenny Castle Waterford Crystal Private Car - Day Tour suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 8.5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Dublin To Kilkenny Castle Waterford Crystal Private Car - Day Tour?
+
Around 4 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Dublin can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Dublin and add a light layer if any part of the 8.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Dublin To Kilkenny Castle Waterford Crystal Private Car - Day Tour start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Dublin within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Dublin?
+
On Outty we rank every Dublin experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Dublin to Belfast Titanic Dunluce Castle Giants Causeway Tour, Dublin to Belfast Black Cab: Dunluce Castle and Giant's Causeway, Dublin to Cliffs of Moher, including Wild Atlantic Way and Galway. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Dublin?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Dublin?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.

+
