Shenanigans Walk

I totally enjoyed this tour and learned a great deal. It was a wonderful introduction to Kilkenny and Ireland. The group and Nevin were good company. To say the least, I think everyone had a good experience and if you are in Kilkenny, I recommend this tour. Patty

Highly recommend this...

Highly recommend this walking tour of Kilkenny - Nevin was a fantastic guide and the 90 minutes were filled with history and interesting anecdotes. Nevin also kept things fun and light along the way.

Good Shenanigans

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!
