The guided tour of the tower lasts about 1- 1.5 hours. We start in the Big House and tell you about the history of the castle and our own journey of renovation. Then we enter the tower and go from ground floor to top of parapet (weather permitting). People do need to be able to climb the stairs, and there is a handrail on each side. There is seating at each level to rest.

"Our family visited and Liz put on a thoroughly engaging tour for children and grown ups - complete with let's find the mice and how the castle toilets worked! Now when we drive by an ivy covered tower house ruin we know how cozy and livable these structures really were. Well worth a visit. Highly recommend."
"Really well spent hour and a half touring Sigginstown Castle. Tour was very interesting for the adults and the 2 kids. Lots of information about the castle, it's history for the past 500 years. Amazing restoration work carried out by them, well worth a visit very close to Wexford."
"An absolute hidden gem, lived in Wexford whole life and never new it was on my doorstep. Beautiful tower house, amazing restoration with a great tour. Really looking forward to their experience nights and tours. Definitely a must do, even with the kids.
