First of all, Michael has never read the book. Instead, he relies on anecdotes from his childhood about the level of poverty in Ireland at the time. While he shows you the locations from Angela's...

Michael, the tour guide kept quoting from the book and treated us like students. There weren't really any buildings left to see, they'd nearly all been demolished. It was a waste of time really,...

I read a review that implied Mr. O'Donnel might be getting too old for the tour. Nonsense! "Mick" is a physical & mental dynamo! At least 20 yrs. my senior, it was a challenge to keep up with him. ...

I took the tour on Wed, May 27th 2009. It's very lightly publicized -- a short blurb on an obscure website. It was wet and cold and we waited in front of the Information Center opposite Arthur's Quay...

Mr. Michael O'Donnell, who's been running the tour for ten years, brings the story to life. Besides telling the story, pointing out the remaining sites, Michael pays attention to us, the visitors'...

An excellent walking tour through Limerick, visiting several of the places mentioned in Angela's Ashes. The guide is from the area, and came from a similar background as Frank McCourt. He knows Frank...

For those who love the writings of Frank McCourt, especially Angela's Ashes, then this tour is a must if you are in Limerick. I had been living in Limerick for a few months, but my sister came to...

My family and I figured it was only fitting that it should rain, sometimes heavily, during the entire Angela's Ashes tour! The weather, however, did not dissuade our guide, Michael O'Donnell, from...
