A bespoke, door-to-door private tour collecting you dockside at Dunmore East and sweeping through medieval Kilkenny and Viking Waterford at your own pace — the ultimate luxury way to unlock southeast Ireland in a single day.
What to expect
Your guide meets you directly at the pier in Dunmore East — no transfers or rallying points needed. From there you wind through Kilkenny's medieval lanes and the famous castle, before returning to Waterford City for the Viking Triangle and Reginald's Tower. The guide weaves in off-script gems — a quiet monastery cloister, a craft pub, a viewpoint that never makes the guidebooks. Every detail bends to your curiosity.
Good to know
Book well in advance as private local guides fill up fast on cruise days. Confirm your ship's all-aboard time with your guide when booking — most are expert at tight turnarounds. Pre-book directly on ToursByLocals and message your guide to lock in the custom itinerary.
