Waterford Treasures Epic Walking Tour: a 45-minute Viking Triangle walk with photo stops, Georgian palace tales, and cathedral views.
“We had a port day off the cruise ship and wanted to spend time exploring this city in addition to visiting the glass factory. What a charming tour this turned out to be. Our tour guide, whose first name was difficult to pronounce, and I know she knows who we're talking about, was so sweet and delightful and charming as well. She told funny stories about the history of the Vikings and the town with such delight and expression and made it so much fun. We would all highly recommend taking this one hour tour as part of your day in Waterford.”
