Frequently Asked Questions
-
Is there will be any bathroom around?
We do not stop for bathroom breaks during our tour, surely you can hold it for an hour and a bit. But seriously, in Ireland you are never more then a stones throw from a pub or restaurant.
-
Can children join the tour?
Children under 12 go FREE as part of one family.
We like children, well behaved ones at least. Children of all ages are welcome to join our tours though to be honest it is not really suitable for those under 6. We do ask that if children get disruptive on a tour that a parent/guardian step away from the group with the child until settled down. Our route takes us up and down a few flights of steps and as such push chairs or strollers might be a hindrance. -
Can we take pictures o video?
When taking still photographs please be considerate of others in group as well as those on the street you may be photographing. Shenanigans Kilkenny City Walk does not permit video or audio taping of any kind and we strongly discourage note taking. We pride ourselves on our unique tour and really don't wish to see it being plagiarized by others.
-
If I am in wheelchair, Can I join the tour?
There are one section of the Shenanigans Kilkenny City Walk route that take us up a short sheepish hill and there are a couple of flights of steps to negotiate. We do offer an alternate route we can direct you along. You will miss one short performance piece which lasts about 10 minutes.
