Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Nevin is a delight. He is so informative, knowledgeable, witty, friendly, makes the group feel comfortable with each other. He has a true gift that is not wasted. The history of Kilkenny is quite fascinating and Nevin presents it in a way for all to understand. It was a delight and.... he’s also a magician. Highly recommend. And a huge thank you to himself. Such a great guy

Absolutely brilliant! Nevis took us round and it was most informative and entertaining. Not in the least boring as he kept it light and had some great stories as all Irishmen do. He is also a magician and entertained us with some magic enroute. The walk ended at the Kyleter(?) pub with a fantastic Irish band. Best day of our holiday.

Hello Dorothy thank you so much for this review. It makes me so happy to know this was the best day of your holiday. And delighted the night ended well with the music and Craic. You can tell Ted he was indeed correct a Knock is a hill or raised area. Amazing how much cross over we have in our languages. It was fun and a pleasure and enjoy the rest of you holiday and safe travels home. All the best until we meet again 😃👍 Nevin

Really enjoyed Nevin’s tour. He was super knowledgeable about all the facts about the town, even the little details you may miss exploring on your own via google. I highly recommend this tour, it won’t disappoint!

Excellent tour, not the same ole same ole boring tour with someone spouting facts at you until you loose the will to live. Combination of interesting history, clever magic and finding out I wasn’t actually a witch (!!!) was really good fun. Worth every penny!

I walked the tour on my last day in Kilkenny, and it was a nice thing to do the last day, but I would recomend you to go on your first or second day If you are staying longer so you know what to go back to. The guide was great!
I recommend this tour! Fun and interesting. Nothing to complain about at all.

We (a group of both adults and children) took this tour as we wanted a more light hearted way to see Kilkenny City and maybe pick up some history en route. We laughed all the way through, there are loads of gags, some actual magic tricks, all in all a really fun experience. Definitely worth a go if you are looking for an easy entertaining way to see the city.

Nevin was an incredible tour guide. You can tell that he loves what he does, and has worked hard developing the tour. It's engaging, funny, and creative - something truly unique that you don't want to miss in Kilkenny.
