Wonderful walking tour of Galway

Colleen was an excellent tour guide. So knowledgeable about Galway and her inclusion of stories about each stop made the tour a lot of fun

Great Galway greeting

This was a perfect introduction to our time in Galway. We did this first thing upon arriving and it gave us the overview we needed to get the most out of the rest of the visit, plan for the week and provide insight into what we were seeing and experiencing. Colleen was our guide, fantastic, extremely knowledgeable.
