Limerick: History, Legends, & Ghosts
Mary_B, Mar 2024
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.
Very accommodating private tour!

Caleb was so lovely and really accommodated my elderly grandmother. He tailored the tour exactly to her pace and needs whilst still managing to give us a great overview of Limerick. He was very knowledgeable, helpful and we had great chats! I would definitely book again next time I visit.
This seems like a potential scam.

I booked this tour two months before our arrival in Ireland. As the trip grew closer, I waited on a contact from the tour to specify a time but never received any communication. The day before the tour, I called the listed number and a woman answered the phone who sounded flustered and confused about my questions. She said she had to confirm “something” and would call me back with a time. I never heard back from her. I even messaged her later on trip advisor and never received an answer. When I booked the tour, the previous 1 Star review wasn’t available. Now seeing their story in combination with our experience, I am starting to think this listing is a SCAM. I would advise to NOT book this tour.

Thank you for your review. Unfortunately, our guide had cancelled last minute which is very frustrating for us & more for you. I understand you have been refunded through viator. I would offer you a free tour if you were in Limerick again as way of apology. I can also inform you we have new guides coming on board which should eliminate this issue.
Sad that tour person didn’t cancel. We spent $18 Euro to get a bus from Adare to take this tour. Want $ back plus $18

We waited 45 minutes (we were there 30 minutes before tour time) and no one showed. Called contact number and got answering machine. Left message to call us and left tour ref no. No call.
