My husband & myself were the only people on the tour on this day due to Covid affecting bookings. Jane agreed to give us the tour which was very kind of her & we enjoyed a private tour around the streets of Ennis. She shared many interesting facts about the history of particular buildings, monuments, lanes & streets. The tour normally takes one hour & would be suitable from the age of 12 years. Comfortable walking shoes necessary to move through the streets at a steady pace. We enjoyed the tour very much thanks to Jane.
