Story Galway 90 Minute Walking Tour

From€30
90 minutes – 100 minutes
Galway, Ireland

Full description

Growing up in Galway has given me an intimate knowledge of the rich and vibrant history of the jewel of the west, Galway. Much like the strong currents of the River Corrib that run through it, the stories and tales of its inhabitants have flowed through my life. A family heritage of storytelling imbued me with a love for imparting a good yarn. These tours will have the history, the lore and the origins of Galway’s unique culture, from a true native Galwegian! My walking tours draw from 20 years involvement in theatre, storytelling and music. My guided jaunts around Galway are the perfect marriage of all these aspects of my life. It will become abundantly clear the joy it provides me and I aim to share this joy with my customers. If it’s the culinary delights of Galway, its medieval history, its lesser known stories or the rich musical and artistic heritage of the city you seek to learn about, I would be privileged to guide you along the way. Gaillimh Abu!

Very complete and enjoyable.

Excellent history of the city. Covered a number of the primary attractions and it wasn’t too long. Would recommend highly to everyone.

Great intro to the square

This was a really nice introduction to the square as we had never been. It was interesting to hear about all the history and our guide Connor was very knowledgeable. He was also very kind in gearing the tour towards what we wanted while still making sure we got everything described in the tour included.

Great way to begin visit to Galway

This was a very informative comprehensive and personalized tour of history, culture, current Galway geography and natural environment. Connor was an experienced, enthusiastic and expert communicator. Overall it was a pleasurable and highly useful beginning of any visit to Galway to get bearings straight and ultimately make good use of time in a very lovely city.

Interesting tour

The bad weather at the start of the day and the forecast appeared to have put the other guests off from attending meaning I was fortunate enough to get a personal guided tour. Conor knows his stuff and was able to tell me the story of Galway and answer any questions I had.
