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.

What travellers are saying
- Elena A2 contributionsThe tour guide was amazing, and filled us in in the history of Kilkenny in a very interesting and exiting way. The tour lasted about an hour, and gave us enough info to then visit the Kilkenny castle and the cathedrals, with a more complete knowledge of the history, and enabled us to enjoy it more. Therefore, I recommend you visit it, and at an early point in your visit too, before any other activities!Written 7 August 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.
