Where would you bring a group of Americans to show off Waterford?

Gotfoodforphil

As part of a work function I may have to show a group of Americans around Waterford, take them to dinner, etc.. My manager suggested I take them to do or see things they wouldn't see in the states, such as castles. He then suggested combining Waterford Castle for dinner and the history, but this may be too expensive.

I'm only new to Waterford, so I'm not sure what would be the best way to show off the city and county to these american business folk - any recommendations?

+1 on the Viking Experience. I brought a group and they thought it was amazing (one person brought their family subsequently). Momo is great too and Maher's or Tully's.

Just start at Waterford Crystal on The Mall and do the rest as Fricatus says. Bishop's Palace, Medieval Museum, Christ Church, Reginald's Tower, Bailey's New Street with big sword Cathedral Square etc. The Viking experience (VR) is stunning, I did it with friends and family last week. Takes a whole day to do an dis enough for anyone trying to get a glimpse. Geoff's, La Atmosphere, Bodega, Davy Macs afterwards. Its as good as any city tour anywhere.

A pub with trad music usually does the trick! Other posters may have ideas.

A wander down around the Mall, Cathedral Square, Bailey's New St (the big sword) and the Apple Market would be nice. You can't beat Geoff's IMO.

Depending on their tastes, a visit to the Medieval Museum, Reginald's Tower and/or Bishop's Palace might tick the boxes. The Viking Experience (or whatever it's called) is supposed to be very good.

Winterval is starting on Saturday, so you could look at the programme. You could show them a selection of the Waterford Walls street art too - "grungier"parts of town mainly!

Outside the city, Dunmore is gorgeous, as is the drive between Stradbally and Tramore. Mount Congreve too, if it's open.

I did that very task a few times in a previous job.

Start with glass factory tour and reginalds tower.

Then I used to bring them to Dunhill and up to the castle, tell a bull**** story about ships landing on the beach and attacking the castle. Into harneys for a pint.

Coast road over to the metalman, tell the story of him.

I took them to rockets for pigs toes and ribs. They are closed now unfortunately. Maybe raglan road might do some Irishy food.

On to dunmore and into powers bar for whiskey, then back to town into Downes for more whiskey.

They loved it.

Mt. Congreve and a trip to Lismore Castle taking the coast road home if it's still bright!
Maybe a round of golf while in Lismore. Beautiful course!!!

Take them out to the driving range in Waterford Castle, in for dinner and drinks in the clubhouse afterwards. Informal and formal-ish at the same time.

Also all on one level so no stairs to contend with.

Again, it's a nice spot with great food but it's too far. And I know that's saying something, given it's only about 30 - 40 mins away

If they are American they might like McDonald's there's two of them in town one near the Travelodge and one in the city. There's also a KFC in ardkeen I believe they are popular with them too. Best of luck I hope they enjoy.

Thanks for the ideas, will look into them more!

These are all very close to each other, easy to do it all on foot.

Thanks for the reply, but it has to be based in or around Waterford City - something you could in the evening after work, or a half day.
