The Historical Walking Tours of Limerick City covers many important historical landmarks. The tour offers a unique experience of limerick's colourful social history and includes King John's Castle, pictured below, which is Ireland’s finest example of Norman Military Architecture dating from 1210. The historical walking tour of Limerick includes King's Island, Irish Town, Georgian Limerick and Newtown Perry with Tour Guide Michael O'Donnell. Although small enough to offer a sense of intimacy, Limerick, with its university, museums, citadel and cathedral is undoubtedly a metropolis.
The tour takes you by buildings ancient and historical, middle-aged and stately, modern and exciting which now mingle with each other on either side of the broad and beautiful River Shannon.
