Brilliant tour, would highly recommend as a fantastic way to get your bearings around the town, local idioms that became worldwide everyday sayings intertwined with history and good Irish humour.
Hi Beanzo thank you so much for leaving your review and so happy you had such a great time and enjoyed our time together. Best Nevin
This is a great walking tour and the guide is so nice, knowledgeable, and funny! If you are in Kilkenny you have to book this tour! I have done the tour twice.
Hey Molly thank you for coming again and bringing some new Shenanigators. It was a pleasure to have you along and next time reach out before you book. Thanks for returning and also for leaving your review and recommendation. Thank you Best Nevin
A brilliant walking tour for first time visitors to Kilkenny! Nevin was a fantastic guide… knowledgeable, personable and very entertaining. A fun history lesson full of great stories and interesting characters. A must do for anyone visiting Kilkenny!
Hi Judy thank you so much for your review and delighted you had a brilliant time with me. Safe travels and have lots of Shenanigans. Best nevin
We had an amazing time on this tour! I didn’t want it to end. Learned so much on the area and I have never laughed so much on a tour! My face hurt when we were finished! Highly recommended!
Hi Eve thank you for your review and recommendation 🙏. I am delighted you had a great time. I hope your face gets better soon 😬 they do say laughter is the best medicine. Every day is one day less in life so we must have more life in every day thanks for Sharon no part of yours with me. Travel well, have lots of fun , Shenanigans and many a day that your face hurts 😂👍 Best Nevin
I enjoyed the walking tour very much. I especially enjoyed Nevin's telling of the Irish links to the origins of so many of our sayings today, such as, "by hook or by crook", and "hangover" and so many others that I cannot even recall now. I wish I could have recorded the whole 2 1/2 hours of knowledge and fun. And of course he let me know for sure I'm traveling with a witch, with his time proven test! The tour was delightfully engaging, truly informative (as we had visited many of the sites the day before not knowing the gems of knowledge he imparted to us); so definitely worth the price. Nevin's memory of all our names and places of origins was pretty spectacular; making it feel comfortable and easy to engage and interact with him. I appreciated him sharing a bit of "him" with us on this tour!! Great tour!
Hey thank you so much for your review it really means a lot. I dread every notification to tell me that there is a new review, while I work hard to ensure everyone has a fantastic experience it is not until I have the opportunity to read someone’s review that I know how I did, so it is always wonderful to hear that people had a great time and thank you for taking the time to write it. If you are interested in the phrases I hope to finish and launch a book of these soon, so if interested send me an email address and I can add you to the list and let you know when it is ready. Again Thank you for coming along and also sharing your experience here. I guess it’s a good thing that you now know you are traveling with a witch 🧙 😂 . Safe travels and maybe we will see you again one day. Best Nevin
Absolutely amazing experience, our tour guide was incredible, new so much detail, amazing sense of humor, a great time and an incredible value.
Hi James thank you and so happy you had an amazing experience with me YAY. Thanks for coming to Kilkenny and coming on the tour. Safe travels and have lots of fun and Shenanigans 😜. Best Nevin.
We found a flyer for the shenanigans tour at our hotel and thought it sounded interesting. Then we ran into two other visitors who had been on it and they said it was wonderful so we booked it. We are so glad we did. Nevin was so entertaining - full of fascinating information, and stories about the city and buildings as well as several magic tricks and many jokes. So much fun! We highly recommend booking a tour.

We landed in Dublin and this was our first stop. It was just what we needed to keep us up and moving and experiencing Kilkenny! Two adults, two college kids, a highschooler and a middle schooler. We all enjoyed it!
