It was a great tour. Great storytelling. You learn a lot of Kilkenny’s dark past. Especially that Oliver Cromwell was real enemy of Ireland.
Thank you so much for giving us a review. We even are in the process of getting Olivers mosquito immortalised in stone :)
Loved Johanna! She was so informative and we loved learning about the fairies and the city! Great add on for our trip.
We are so delighted to hear you enjoyed Johannas tour. She is such a wonderful tour guide and will be thrilled to read this
My review for the haunted tour with Johanna she was brilliant,she was well spoken well able to talk out loud and she really entertained us she was a great craic,I would recommend this tour to everyone Eileen and Simon from Limerick
Thank you so much. Johanna will be delighted to see this review. She one of the best
This tour made our trip! We were a very small group (just our family) but the guide made the tour so wonderful! We had such a better appreciation of Kilkenny and Ireland’s history in general. We appreciated the “ghost/spooky” focus here and there but it was never cheesy. She provided wonderful historically accurate info and a context for it all. Very meaningful experience the best tour we did on our 21 day trip.
Thank you so much for such a wonderful review. I am delighted we left you with a good experience 😀
Our tour guide was fantastic! The stories were very interesting and kept our attention. Would highly recommend!
Thank you so much for this review. This makes our work so worth while.
A wonderful guide we had. I just think that such an evening tour should not be advertised as a haunting tour..it was not haunting nor scary..my first haunting tour and I convinced my husband as well..( unfortunate really disappointed) Such a tour of Kilkenny should instead be promoted as a tour of medieval Kilkenny (with haunting stories added in).
We are a historical tour of dark and haunted dark areas in Kilkenny City. We are not your typical ghost tour but more dark history.
Very informative tour, learned a lot about the hunted side of Kilkenny, our tour guide was very energetic and funny.
Thank you so much for this review. Our guides are so passionate about what they do and will love reading this review
Great tour, packed full of history, told with such passion, and thoroughly engaging; we loved it!!!!
Thank you so much . We love to be able to show the darker history of Kilkenny
Lovely evening tour in Kilkenny. Sharon was fun, knowledgeable and explained stories in an engaging way. We delved into some of the dark stories around the area for about an hour. It is worth your time and money!
Thank you so much for this great review. This is what makes our jobs so worth while
Informative, but really dark or haunted. It was more historical. Wanted a tour with some more ghost stories and the darker side of life.
Yes as we always describe on our description on the booking system that our tours are historical dark stories From the priest hunter to the lady in white to the famine and the hangings areas in the city. It doesn't get much darker than that . Our tour is real life historical dark stories. We also include true haunting in the city.
