All The BEST Spots - and FUN!

Our guide was Gerry and he was superb! Knowledgeable, approachable, great short histories and helpful anecdotes. My wife had been in an accident recently and her mobility is limited. Gerry worked around that and everyone had a terrific experience.

Walking and talking with Gerry

This was a great little bit of history of Galway. The perfect introduction to the city. A bit of walking around and learning the area.

Gerry was amazing! He was very knowledgeable about the history of Galway and took us around town. The small group format gave us one on one time and I definitely recommend this tour.
