Limerick 2026 Calendar of Events

This was a lovely little museum. Very eclectic collection. Enjoyed it. Not too big to tire you out. They are fortunate to have a Picasso, a Renoir, and a Gauguin among their collection. Loved the Irish silver display. Declan was such a sweet person! Truly a gem!

We had a great day, but really and truly I was blown away by the cost. €56 for 2 adults and 1 child. I really couldn’t believe it, I can’t understand how they justify that amount of money. It really is a great example of rip off Ireland and I feel it sends the wrong message to tourists to our country.

AMAZING experience and highly recommended. Your tickets get you a reduced entry fee to the village around the castle, I recommend going at least 1.5h early to experience all of the things to see. The tallest parts of the castle close at 4pm, so if you want to get all the way to the top, do that first, then go see everything else and circle back to the castle for supper.The food was exceptional. It’s always hit or miss with entertainment dinners about whether the food is any good. In this case I would have gone just for the food. It was resturant quality (just without the cutlery). Also, they were incredibly accommodation for my food allergies, which I was unsure of before going in. It means I didn’t have to skip any of the four courses, they just brought me something slightly different.The entertainment was wonderful. The music was exceptional, the singing magical, I really enjoyed the fiddler.You are sitting banquet style for the meal, which was also nice as I got to chat with both of my neighbours on either side.Overall, one of the most memorable moments of our trip. If you are considering going, stop and just book the tickets. Seriously. You won’t be disappointed.Did I mention unlimited wine and a mead tasting? Yeah!

Beautiful building, a lovely museum met a lovely guide with loads of information. Great to see loaned pieces from the national museum at the Hunt Museum lets have more of it.

Travel is an adventure. First decision to make upon arrival: Hike 7 miles one way through the Gap on paved, hilly terrain, or take the traditional horse and carriage ride to the boats on the other end. Most of the carriages fit up to 4 people and charge 140 euros per carriage. That’s a reasonable 35 euros per person, and a comfortable ride. A bit pricey if you’re traveling solo, so make some friends, and you’ll all save money! The tour itself winds through some spectacular scenery, passing the highest mountain in Ireland (some 3000 ft.), culminating at a nice lunch spot on the lake where a boatsman will come by for the second half of your adventure on the 3 lakes of Killarney National Park. One caution, particularly for elderly people in full carriages: There are 2 steep hills where everyone must get out and climb because that load is too much for the poor horsie to do. One or two persons, though, is probably okay. Know your physical limits and ask your driver beforehand. Other than that, this is an awesome tour, and you’ll marvel with delight at every turn. Just don’t pet the sheep along the way!

It can be extremely, as in hard to stand, windy and weather changes in a flash. Wear waterproof clothing and footwear. Thus prepared you'll see spectacular views.

Very entertaining night. Lots of laughs & good food. We had the 8.30 sitting & enjoyed every aspect. The music, the singing & the stories were amazing.

Great experience with a knowledgeable, funny guide

The Castle is spectacular and awe inspiring. The Folk Park was a total delight. Cafe & Gift Shop is not to be missed. Very good value for the money spent. Highly recommend you visit 👌

Wonderful tour. Picked up in Limerick, then shuttled to Killarney. Once there, our guide for the day; Connor from Paddywagon tours made everything welcome. Connor was a great guide and a very skilled driver on the very tight windy roads around Ring of Kerry. Lots of stops for sights and rest stops. The Irish Stew at the Lobster restaurant was fantastic. Connor shared in the history, the Irish old beliefs and had many a funny story to share. Highly recommend this tour with Paddy Wagon with Connor as guide/driver.

This was a great experience. We took the horse drawn carriage ride in Killarney. Our gude was marvelous and the scenery was beautiful. Inch Beach was great watching the surfers and swimmers. Our driver Michael was great and provided us with lots of photo opportunities. Dingle was a lively village and the fish and chips at Harrington's was good.

Val O’ Brien was fantastic at arranging our personalized family tour!! He was responsive and helpful with every step planning our trip! Delightful touch call before we departed for our trip to Ireland and connecting us with our driver. He went above and beyond to ensure a smooth trip arrival and departure !Ritchie, our driver, was exceptional! While we had an itinerary he was flexible, suggested additional areas to see and is a tremendous historian! He made our visit to the Emerald Isle special and memorable! Cannot say enough about his services especially allowing my husband to sit back and relax! Thank you!

It was so fun and it’s the best way to see everything without being overly expensive! We went around the ring of Kerry and stopped in towns like sneem and Waterville and Killarney national park

Sean was the best guide for this experience. He was accommodating, helpful and experienced. We made some minor adjustments to the tour and it made the day unforgettable. I would recommend and use Val and his team for every tour in Ireland! 5 star service!

I can’t say enough about how wonderful the tour guide was! I had shoulder surgery a month before the trip and realized I wasn’t able to bike yet. However, my adult children still wanted to. The tour owner came up with a great alternative for me that included him going out of his way to accommodate! He helped me understand the bus system to get to him from Limerick and answered all of my many questions with kindness! The boat ride to Holy Island was absolutely amazing! We felt like we had the island to ourselves (and the other 6 people who went with us on the boat) and the sheep. My kids do think it’s worth mentioning that the bike trip did not include stopping to discuss what they were passing-it was simply a ride through the Irish beauty!

We had a great day with Ciaran. The Giants Causeway is incredible to experience, and we really enjoyed the knowledge and company of Ciaran along the way and during our visit to Belfast. Would highly recommend!!
