Top Limerick Walking Tours

We came to Limerick to learn more about Frank McCourt. Frank is a distant relative whom we had the opportunity to meet in 2006. We wanted to have more of a sense of where he grew up. While enjoying the beauty of contemporary Limerick, we were also able to move back in time with the help of our guide, Joe Coleman. He brought to life the places and times experienced by Frank. His depth of knowledge, the result of diligent personal research, brought the Limerick of Frank's day into focus. He made the tour an exceptional and worthwhile experience! We look forward to learning more about Limerick and Ireland through a book he has written, Down by the Bare Place.

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.

Joe was incredible—very knowledgeable and entertaining. Made Angela’s Ashes come to life as well as the rich history of limerick. Highly recommend!

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.

Wonderful tour. I've been to Adare several time but never had a good understanding of the history. Jorgen is very knowledgeable and interesting. I have some mobility problems and he modified the walk to meet my needs. Highly recommend.

Our staycation brought us to Limerick in September. Jorgen brought us on two great walking tours - Adare first, followed by Ballingarry. Jorgen has great local knowledge and went above and beyond what I expected from the tour. It was great to hear some of the history of the area and it made me realise how little I know about Irish history. I'd highly recommend doing one of these tours if you're in the area.

Having listened to "Angela's Ashes" 3 times, I was looking forward to connecting my image of Frank McCourt's Limerick to the real places and Joe Coleman exceeded even my hopes! We had a great interaction and it was more like a visit with a friend than a sterile tour. I can highly recommend this tour, but with the caveat that you need to be familiar with the book to get much out of it.

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!

Excellent walk around Limerick with our tour guide John. My wife and I were the only two on the walk and so it was like a private tour for us. John is a native of Limerick and was very knowledgeable about Frank McCourt’s experiences growing up in Limerick. It definitely helps to have read the book, or at least seen the movie as John’s descriptions then made Angela’s Ashes come to life. He also dropped in interesting other bits about Limerick along the way. Highly recommended.Patrick and Sandi

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.

Jorgen is an easy - going and flexible guide who went beyond the call of duty to inform, entertain and amaze us on a walk around Adare town recently.

Jorgen is renowned among the Tourist Guiding Community for his knowledge. It's lovely to be able to ask anything and get an authorittive reply. He is also very Covid-19 aware and took care to keep us safe. Highly reccommended!

It took us to parts of Limerick we would not have seen. Two issues. The clue with 'St' doesn't work the same way the others do. One of the clues. The statue is no longer there

John was a gem! Very knowledgeable and informative. He showed us extra things to enhance our total experience. Highly recommend! Dennis and Virginia

Angela Ashes been one of my favourite film. It was only right to attend the tour when in Limerick. The tour was hands done one of the best i have attended. Joe was fantastic, his knowledge and reference to the film & book was great, he was so lovely & evem enjoyed a wee refreshment with us.

John, our guide, was really great! Super knowledgeable about the milestone areas around Limerick specific to the boom Angela's Ashes. Though I had not yet read the book he had a knack for story telling in a way that was susceptible for all to follow along easy. He led the group with confidence and courtesy. Would highly recommend John as the guide for this tour!
