This is a wonderful insight in the Limerick writer Frank McCourt. Told by a local historian Beano, who grew up on the same street as Frank you can't get any closer to the story. There will be a chance to question your specialist guide Beano as you travel & at the end of the tour. This is ideal for those interested in literature, academic & those wishing to learn more about the unique Limerick spirit!

Having listened to "Angela's Ashes" 3 times, I was looking forward to connecting my image of Frank McCourt's Limerick to the real places and Joe Coleman exceeded even my hopes! We had a great interaction and it was more like a visit with a friend than a sterile tour. I can highly recommend this tour, but with the caveat that you need to be familiar with the book to get much out of it.

Excellent walk around Limerick with our tour guide John. My wife and I were the only two on the walk and so it was like a private tour for us. John is a native of Limerick and was very knowledgeable about Frank McCourt’s experiences growing up in Limerick. It definitely helps to have read the book, or at least seen the movie as John’s descriptions then made Angela’s Ashes come to life. He also dropped in interesting other bits about Limerick along the way. Highly recommended. Patrick and Sandi
