Castles, Ghosts, Witches, and Dungeons of Kilkenny - Deepest, darkest secrets, ghost sightings, stories that shaped Kilkenny, she gave it all! It was evident that she loves Kilkenny with all of its history. We walked from the castle to Smithwicks. Along the way, so much context was provided for the city and how it was shaped and grew through history. I cannot recommend this tour more! Take it early-on in your time in Kilkenny.

Fascinating dark history tour - The tour was phenomenal. Sharon has such passion for her city and its stories, and it comes through in every moment. It is far more of a dark history tour than a straight-up ghost tour, but that's what we were looking for. We will absolutely take a tour with Sharon again.
