Kilkenny from Dublin - train or tour?

We are in Dublin and wanting to see Kilkenny. We’re debating between a tour with Wild Rover or just taking the trains ourselves (self guided) The tour would have other stops in the Wicklow but by train we’d just see Kilkenny. Thoughts?

We took a bus tour of Kilkenny and Glendalough. We enjoyed it and I don't think I would have enjoyed Kilkenny as much without a guided tour of the town. Glendalough is beautiful.

I'd suggest the tour as you will see more, the scenery in Wicklow is stunning.

If you take the train to kilkenny you are limiting yourself to just the city centre and castle by foot.

I took the train. Everything in town is within walking distance of each other and the train station. Easy to do. But as others have said, the tour offers more.
