Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Great tour. As well as being funny and humorous. Learned so much . The tour guide Neven really knows his history . I have been on other walking tours before but this was by far the best walking tour.lightheated and knowloable . I particularly enjoyed learning where loads of the well known catch phrases we still use today came from . Would highly recommend.

Took train from Dublin to Kilkenny short walk to town
Took tour of castle, which was great and met guide outside castle
Tour was great lots of commentary, and information mixed in with some great wit!
I enjoyed the tour and would definitely recommend. It was was just long enough with out being overly long
It was not taxing to walk and had no difficulty keeping up.

We took an evening tour with Nevin from Shenanigans- mixed group with ages from 14- 55. He pitched it so well. Nevin is passionate about his native city, and this oozes out of him- lots of quirky bits about the landmarks, and the personalities down through the ages. He’s so engaging, and he’s also a professional magician which really gives this tour an edge - would highly recommend booking this if you’re visiting Kilkenny
Thank you Nevin
