Traveler reviews
Wonderful walk
Wonderful walk through limerick. It was a beautiful day to take in the three bridges walk and see some beautiful churches and mid-evil castle. Jon was as a passionate guide and even showed us his father’s home.
Double check with the company that the guide has been scheduled
We waited over an hour for the tour guide to meet us. Turned out the main company forgot to schedule him for our group. Personally, I feel they should make it right for us having to wait so long. The guide was very apologetic and very informative. I have no complaints about the guide, just the company itself.
Learn Limerick in 2.5 hours!
We had a great walking tour around the city of Limerick with Joe Coleman. Having been born and raised in Limerick, Joe was a wealth of information and shared all kinds of interesting facts and stories about the history of Limerick. I would highly recommend this tour for anyone who wants to learn more about Limerick.
Great Tour
This was an excellent tour, Joe is extremely knowledgeable of the history of not just Limerick but all of Ireland. We stopped at many sites on this tour and learned a lot. Thanks for the tour Joe!
Limerick: History, Legends, & Ghosts
Our guide was Joe, a Limerick native, who was deeply knowledgeable about Limerick, its architecture, and its history. He even included a ghost story or two. You will see a lot in a 3-4 mile walk through the city (pretty flat so easy to do). We truly enjoyed the tour.
