An absolute delight!

5.00This was an absolute delight! Something for everyone. Just when our kids would start to zone out on historical information, they'd be charmed with a magic trick or a funny story. It's a great way to see a large part of the city, learn some fun info, and see inside some of the gorgeous buildings. Would absolutely recommend if you will be in Kilkenny!
Great way to see the city

5.00This is such a fun walking tour. We don’t often do walking tours because they can be boring. Not this one. Nevin is informative and funny. I’m so glad I read personal suggestions on Ireland Facebook page because that’s how I found Shenanigans. And I highly recommend Kilkenny. We’ve been to Ireland several times but first time in Kilkenny. It’s a wonderful city. So Kilkenny and Shenanigans two 👍

5.00The tour was awesome and Nevin was amazing. We had so much fun and we learned more about the history of Kilkenny and Ireland in 90 minutes with Nevin than we could’ve done on our own. We HIGHLY recommend the Shenanigans tour. Don’t hesitate, buy a tour ticket and enjoy.

5.00It was very funny and educational. I learned a lot about Kilkenny, Ireland and phrases - also that my wife is a witch, which I had somehow already suspected, but I still love her ;) I can highly recommend the tour!
Historical, Funny, Fun and Entertaining. SHENANIGANS!
