Limerick tours

Things to do in Limerick

Irish novelist Frank McCourt made the gritty streets of Limerick come alive in his celebrated novel Angela's Ashes. Explore the fabled streets of Francis' childhood and learn about the city's history and contemporary culture on a private Limerick tour with a friendly and knowledgeable local guide. You'll want to head to the West Bank of the River Shannon for splendid views of the 13th century King John's Castle, with its impressive stone walls and towers. Closer to the city centre, St. Mary's Cathedral offers a glimpse into Limerick's medieval past. On a rainy day, pay a visit to the Limerick City Gallery of Art, nestled into the heart of Georgian Limerick, beside the lovely People's Park. Or - for a different sort of cultural experience - duck inside one of the city's cosy pubs for a pint and traditional pub lunch. Your guide is eager to customize a private Limerick tour that reflects your personal interests while showing off the best of their hometown.
