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 😊

Great history of Kilkenny with a touch of macabre. - Fantastic dose of history of one of the oldest cities in Ireland. Reflections on the hardships of past generations which make the current generation of Irish one of the most revered societies in the World today.

A must do on your visit to Kilkenny - Great knowledge about the history of Kilkenny that we weren’t aware of. Meet up was easy and close to the castle. Weather cooperated and we enjoyed the walk around. Followed up with the next day at the medical mile museum. Reinforced it all very interesting.

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.
