From the moment the tour starts to the end a far too short 90 minutes later, you will be entertained and educated while walking through 1000 years of the history of Kilkenny. Important historical milestones are described clearly, and even for locals there will be new nuggets of information. Interspersed with jokes and magic - all that is missing is for Nevin breaking into song! You will not be bored on this tour and will leave with a smile on your face!

Fantastic tour of Kilkenny abounding with historic characters and details, humour and magic! Extremely enjoyable and a wonderful way to understand the diverse history of Kilkenny. Very engaging and enjoyable, learnt the shenanigans roar and would definitely recommend!!!

Enjoyable and informative the Shenanigans walk with Neville was a great stroll with great stories. The only way to improve on this walk would be a cold pint!

My wife and I joined Nevin for his tour of Kilkenny on a lovely afternoon last week. We would highly recommend this tour as Nevin has something for everyone crammed into it. The tour starts at the castle where he give you some interesting facts and "fictions". Its up to you to sort out which is which. The tour wends its way down through the city's streets and alleyways with more of those stories along the way. Nevin is also a "magician" and this is why I say the tour is for all as he is able to keep the younger ones amused with his sleight of hand and magical tricks along the way. So don't think your kids will be bored because they won't. Apart from that he is a very nice guy who can chat away about everything. What we liked was that we noticed he was able to identify with all nationalities and discuss something about their country and sometimes link it to Kilkenny or Ireland. All in all this is a great tour, well worth the money. Thankyou Nevin and all.

This tour was a great introduction to Kilkenny! The guide, Neven, was fun and full of knowledge. He provided a great scope of the city, it’s most entertaining history, and some of the best places to visit while there. I am not usually a reviewer but I wanted to review this one because Nevan’s thoughtfulness meant a lot to me! I have mobility struggles and use a cane, so walking tours can be very tiring for me. I knew this going in and did my best to prepare for it, but expected to be exhausted by the end. Because of this I really appreciated that Nevan went out of his way to check in with me and made simple (but impactful) accommodations to ease the strain on my body. For example, if we were at a stop where he would talk for a bit he made sure we were near benches so I could rest. It meant I could still enjoy the city a bit more after the tour. He made accommodations for other guests as well. Definitely the most disability friendly walking tour I’ve ever been on :)

We really enjoyed our walking tour with Nevin! It was informative, funny, engaging and a great way to see Kilkenny with a local expert. We had our 8 and 11 year old children with us and they said it was a highlight of our week in Ireland. We highly recommend!

This tour is awesome! Fun, informative historical and very funny. My 16 year old daughter was as engaged as I was. I highly recommend this. It was the first thing we did when we got in from Dublin and it was a great introduction to the city of Kilkenny (not town, you’ll see why on the tour). Cheers! Thanks for a great time!

Absolutely loved everything! So knowledgeable, friendly, and funny. We had our toddler with us and even he enjoyed the experience! 10/10 would do again!

Nevin made this tour so much fun and has such an extensive knowledge of the history of Kilkenny. We learned how many common expressions originated in the area with some really cool magic tricks with added humor as well! It was like spending the afternoon with an old friend!

This tour was phenomenal!! Nevin was such an excellent tour guide. We had lots of fun and would recommend this tour to everyone.

We met in the rain. It was great with our guide. He was humorous and kind. Great memory asking our names one time and remember each one of us calling us out later for questions. He was great at making each one of us feel included. Very knowledgeable as well. Learned a lot about Kilkenny history as well as where terms arrived from.

We had a great experience! He took us all over the city and told us the history of the city. So knowledgeable and fun! We would recommend this to anyone coming to the city!

This was such a great experience! Everyone should do this tour! We learned a lot about the history of Kilkenny and saw some cool places! A good mix between fun and educational.

Nevin was an intelligent, knowledgeable, funny, compassionate, kind and wonderful tour guide. We could have spent all day with him!!! Book this tour!!!!!!!!!! You won't be disappointed!

Nevin was so great! Our group of 6 was in Kilkenny for the first time for a couple of days and wanted a short and simple run-down of the city. Perfect length of tour. Nevin also included magic tricks and so many interesting facts I never knew!! Would highly recommend!

It was a Very personable and highly informative tour with a Nice small size group and lots of interesting facts shared . Thanks.

Nevin was amazing! A true people person and very, very informative. He made the tour fun and engaging for us, especially with 2 young kids. You can tell he loves his job and it shows. I would absolutely recommend his tour to anyone.

Great we loved the word originals. The story was fun as were the magic tricks. The overview of the town made us want to go explore some of the sights more
