Explore Limerick's History at the People's Museum (original) (raw)

The guides were all so kind and friendly

My wife and I visited the museum today as it was one of limericks top attractions. The guides were all so kind and friendly. They also offered a lot of good information, things that we would have missed on our own.

Great staff, Great Tour

Limerick is bursting with history! Cathal, who guided our one-hour walking tour, knew how to bring this history alive. He was knowledgeable and willing to respond to as many questions as we were willing to ask. Save some time at the end to explore the museum as well. My one suggestion? Refresh (or learn) a bit of Irish history before you embark. Speaking personally, my own knowledge was woefully low, so I had little context in which to place all of Cathal’s wonderful stories.
