Waterford Weekend Pass

We found the Medieval Museum to be the most fascinating. Our leisurely strolls through the 13th-century Choristers Hall and the exhibits depicting Medieval knights and kings were quite memorable. However, amongst the numerous priceless artifacts on display, the stunning 15th-century gold cloth church vestments made in Florence from Italian silk were beyond breathtaking.

If you are going to spend a day in Waterford, do the Epic Walking Tour to get the basic history of the city, and then do the Medieval Museum. This tour will give you much more information about the important role that Waterford played in the history of Ireland. And the collection of artefacts and religious items is a must-see for history enthusiasts.

Myself and my partner got the Freedom Pass, such good value. We started in the Bishops Palace and then got a tour of the Vikings Triangle from Alex. He was so knowledgeable, extremely easy to talk to and really immersed us! 100% recommend Alex for a tour.

I brought my son to the King of the Vikings Virtual Reality Tour, and it was absolutely amazing. He's 8 and has autism and ADHD but managed to stay tuned in for the entire experience, thanks in no small part to our host, Breeanna. She was so informative, answered all our questions and was so kind to my kid. She explained that she's an osteo-archaeologist with a Viking background herself; she spoke multiple languages and had a genuine passion for Viking history. What an asset to the Waterford Treasures! We both learned a lot and would probably do it again and take friends. Thanks so much.

The Irish Wake museum was my main reason for revisiting Waterford, and it did not disappoint. Liam is a wonderful storyteller: he took us through the history of the building as well as the history of Irish traditions. He was open to questions during the tour and stuck around after to receive any questions. After the tour, we were allowed to go back through and take a closer look at the cases. The tour took about 45 minutes with a little bit of time to wander back through the rooms. The admission fee was well worth it!

Shirly on the front desk is an absolute lady. She made not only my visit to the Bishop's palace a pleasure but also helped me with her wealth of local knowledge to plan an accessible trip to see all the treasures with a wheelchair user. They don't make customer service like this anymore. Fresh, lively, friendly – above and beyond expectation. Thank you.

This was the starting point of the Epic walking tour in and around the Viking Triangle in Waterford. We visited, and it was worth the price alone. Take your time with the Bishop's Palace, as it has lots of interesting stories to tell. My husband and I were fascinated by the exhibits and the snippets of history written everywhere on the walls. We had a nice little chat with a lady from the museum; she gave us great tips on what to see next. The café had the best croissants I've had so far. If you are in Waterford, you should absolutely go check out the Bishop's Palace.

Amazing artefacts on display. The staff are extremely friendly and happy to provide additional information and answer questions. Admission included a guided tour – thanks to Claire, who gave a great overview of more than 750 years; so much for me to learn. Had a great day in Waterford.
