Discover in depth some of the most charming streets in Killarney including Main & High Street while you take a stroll with your local expert guide who will show you some of the hidden highlights and share insights that you would never find or find out on your own. Admire and take photos of the attractive nineteenth century shop fronts and houses while you guide shares insightful stories that will elevate your immersion into the history and character of Killarney. Walk over history as you stroll down some of the eleven lanes off High Street, many of them still cobbled and very atmospheric, that once were the beating heart of the town including the Old Market Lane. Learn how the 4th Earl of Kenmare gave the land here, free of charge, to sub-agents who built houses and had the lanes named after them. There’s so much to see and discover but only when you have a local expert who can show you where to find the highlights.

Credited with saving more than 6,500 people from certain death, Monsignor O’Flaherty became known as the Pimpernel of the Vatican and his achievements have inspired several books and films such as ‘The Scarlet and the Black’ where he was played by Gregory Peck.
