Informative, funny made everyone in the group mix. Never been to Killkenny before so saved us a lot time if we tried to do it on our own.

The "Shenanigans" tour of Kilkenny was a lot of fun, and also very informative. If we would have had more time, we would have done another tour with this same operator - he was very knowledgeable and nice.

We had a great time. Neven is a great guide with loads of humour ( shenanigans )to go along with expert historical and local knowledge. Good value on a visit to the Marble City

Great introduction to all that Kilkenny has to offer! Nevin was very personable and entertaining, and the magic was quite fun. Start your time in Kilkenny with this tour, it’s definitely worth your while. We told Nevin we were celebrating our 25th anniversary and he went above and beyond to make it a special memory! Can’t speak highly enough of our experience.

When we read that the walk included magic and comedy, we booked it, and we were very happy with our tour guide. He was clever, funny and charismatic. We even learned some history. Book this walking tour of Kilkenny with Shenanigans!
