Wat je gaat doen
My tour is for all ages and I blend comedy, history, magic and irreverent Irish humour, as we travel along the Medieval Mile Kilkenny.
We chat and laugh as we walk to each landmark and I will bring you around the medieval back lanes and corridors as I tell you the history and stories of Kilkenny Castle, Rothe House, The Butter Slip, Graces Castle and Alice Kytelers’ House (Kilkenny’s famous witch) and I use some of my magician skills to bring these stories to life.
We will explore all of Kilkenny’s hidden gems and I tell you about turns of phrase that come from medieval times still used today.
I will tell you what life was like growing up in such a beautiful city and conjure up images of life in medieval times. One person will become a knight for a while and you will get to see and touch some arrow heads and I introduce to the Shenanigans roar as you become part of the tribe.
Other things to note
Come dressed for the outdoor walk, evenings can also get a little cooler. Its a ninety minute walk so maybe a bottle of water and of course a camera.

Our experience with Nevin was just spectacular. He knew all of our names and would often refer to us personally which was really nice and felt like we already knew each other. He is a very funny guy and we enjoyed his anecdotes, history lessons and a bit of magic thrown in there too! I would highly recommend doing this tour. We learned SO much from Nevin!!

Nevin was a wonderful ambassador for Kilkenny, he knew the history, the little known facts of the town and people who made the city, and delivered a highly informative tour with humor and flair. His sense of humor and his magic tricks were great, and broke up the flood of information appropriately. We would highly recommend his tour as the first thing you do when you get to Kilkenny as he can give you ideas on what things are best to do and helps you look at the city with his eyes.
