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.

Knowledge guide with interesting stories
May 2023 • Couples
John is a knowledgeable and interesting guide. We saw many ancient buildings, walls, and cemeteries. He told stories about famed former residents of Kilkenny. The amount of walking and pace of information was just right for us. Our group size was 9, so it was easy to hear everything.
