Ennis Walking Tours - A lot more than just sightseeing! - Jane gave us an interesting and educational tour. She takes you beyond the typical sightseeing spots and explains how everything was, and how it came to be what is now Ireland today.
Jane explains what Ireland was like when King Henry VIII took over and as we walked through Ennis we learned not only about what life was like throughout the centuries, but how everything evolved into the Ireland of today and what role the town of Ennis played in that evolution.

See Ennis with Jane O'Brien. She's the best! - We had one day in Ennis, Ireland, and booked a walking tour with Jane. O'Brien. A few days before our trip one member of our group of 4 broke his leg. He was walking with crutches. Unfazed, Jane led us through the alleyways of Ennis, stopping at landmarks to explain the architecture and history. She knows a lot and shares it in a compelling way.

A portal to the lives of my ancestors. - My ancestors were from rural County Clare and I was keen to see and learn more of the market town that would have played an important part in their lives. After visiting the Clare Museum, we met Jane in the courtyard outside and embarked on a walking tour covering landmarks and history from the medieval O’Briens through to present day events. Jane is a qualified historian and very personable. I ended the tour with a good understanding of the history, culture, society and economy of the town and how it would have shaped my ancestor’s lives. I’m so grateful to Jane for sharing her knowledge and time with us and I highly recommend her to you.

A fun, enriching experience! - There's visiting Ennis and then there's getting to know Ennis. Jane's guided walking tour was a wonderfully engaging and informative experience. Instead of rattling off dates and information, she shared the history of Ennis through many memorable stories. I've been on many guided walking tours and this one was a real gem. I highly recommend it!

Delightful guide and tour. - Our walking tour with Jane was a perfect start to our Ireland vacation. We learned quite a bit about the history of both Ennis and Ireland during our walk. It was also a great way to get the lay of the land in this adorable and fun town.
We would highly recommend Jane and her tour. It was the ideal way to spend our first morning!

Amazing tour - I recently moved to Ennis a month ago and I decided to check out any tours around Ennis and I came across the Ennis Walking tours by Jane O'Brien. I was lucky to have a one on one tour with her, therefore I felt like the tour was very relaxed and I found Jane extremely knowledgeable and very friendly. She took on all the questions I threw at her, thus I found the tour detailed and simply amazing. I would highly recommend taking this tour if you ever find yourself in Ennis. It is definitely worth it!
