Entertaining and informative! So much fun!

Nevin is a great tour guide. It. Was an. Easy walk and he took us all around this charming town with its mix of medieval and modern. He brought the history,culture, sports, and architecture of Ireland (particularly Kilkenny) to life. We saw all the major sites and Nevin makes the history fun with his humor, friendliness, stories and magic. I learned so much about Nevin’s beloved hometown of Kilkenny from its award winning animation studio Cartoon Saloon (Puffin Rock, Wolfwalkers), the national sport of hurling, best places to eat and drink, the witch of Kilkenny, the amazing castle, the Butler family and famous knight, William Marshall! We had a small group of 9 and Nevin took an interest in each person, answered questions and all with a smile. Highly recommended!

Walk with Shenanigans

I had the pleasure of joining a Shenanigan Walk in Kilkenny. It was both informative and enjoyable. It was great to go around with someone with such a personal knowledge of the area. In fact when Nevin noticed I was keen on statues, he added more into the route.
