Get a jam packed history lesson - Packed with historical information. Better for adults as the content was fast paced and informative. Delivered well with a good sense of humor

Fantastic tour - Sharon was a fantastic tour guide, informative but also knew how to have the craic. The tour itself could do with highlighting the hauntings but other than that it gives a great history of Kilkenny and takes you to some lovely spots. I would say, dress appropriately and wear good shoes as it is alot of standing on cold, hard ground. I thoroughly enjoyed it and would recommend it 😊

Boo! - This was a 90 minute walking tour through parts of town. Our guide clearly enjoys her job and was animated. The stories she told were well told and entertaining. We walked around starting at the castle and then walking around town nearby. I was surprised that the tour did not include any interiors of any buildings as I had thought it would. Bring an umbrella in case it rains.

Not so many ghost stories and average walking tour - The tour under delivered in both ghost stories and history. Tour guide was at best average. Shenanigans tour was superior.

Bof! - a little disappointed with this ghost tour which is not one. No real stories (other than those that can be read in any guide) and bucolic atmosphere. from the castle along the miles. 4/5 stops in the street and that’s all. lack of mysteries, surprises, surprises, atmosphere, imagination.

Guide Cancelled 15 min before tour... - We drove one hour just to go on this tour and when we got to our meeting point it was canceled without any explanation about 15 minutes before it was supposed to start. If our tour guy had an emergency, which I hope they didn't then it's baffling that they didn't have a replacement for the tour guide.
