Taste Kilkenny through cheese, beer, seafood, chocolate, and Irish coffee on a history-filled walking tour with Smithwick’s Brewery.

“I just did the food tour with my son, and it was so relaxing. Like walking through Kilkenny with a friend. The food was fantastic, as well. We couldn’t finish it all. One note: I thought the food tour was three hours, which it is, but there is a fourth hour on the end for the included Smithwick tour, so plan accordingly.”
