Things to do in Limerick, Province of Munster: The Best Tours
There once was an Irish city… You might think "naughty poem" when you hear the word Limerick, but in truth the city inspires so much more than just knowing giggles. Medieval castles and churches give the city a grand feel, while the pubs crawl with lively locals and students who are all craving just one more pint of Guinness. The Hunt Museum boasts a collection of pieces from history's most important and influential artists, while the Foynes Flying Boat Museum will marvel visitors of all ages with its whimsical flying machines.

Myself and my 2 sisters were in Limerick for the weekend. Our guide, a local enthusiastic historian, stepped in at the last minute to give our tour. He was very knowledgeable, friendly and accommodating. The tour was 2.5 hours and covered a wide area, but all around the city centre. Perfect for giving us our bearings around the city. Would definitely recommend this tour.

I did the Ring of Kerry with them. It was great because we have seen so many beautiful places although the weather wasn't very suitable, to put it mildly. We had lunch in Waterville, the place which Charlie Chaplin chose for his holidays over 10 years. The sea was rough but you don't expect hot sunny days in Ireland in November. You can just walk along the beach, gazing how waves roll over and remember Dylan Thomas's poem which is so true ... 'Especially when the October wind with frosty fingers punishes my hair... ' the only exception is that it was November. Afterwards, there were some breath-taking scenery, but it's impossible to describe nature. You should go and see. One more thing, the guide is very helpful. Told us a lot about the life in Ireland and the places which we visited. Ireland! I'm missing you so much!
