Great tour when you don't have a full day

We had a great experience on our walking tour of Galway. It wasn't too early of a start in the morning and made us hungry for lunch when it was done. Our tour guide Liam was awesome! Funny, very knowledgeable and didn't just throw quick facts at us. We really got a feel for the past, present and future of Galway. Highly recommend this walk.
