Great food and history tour - Conor was terrific and so informative. We went with 4 friends and we loved all of the history of Galway that Conor told us as we moved from course to course on the food tour. My favorite stop was Skeff’s with a traditional Irish meal. Thanks Conor. We will recommend to others!

Fun tour with a little history mixed in! - This tour was a lot of fun but much more time spent in pubs than learning the history. Also, be aware that you will be served practically a full meal!! We were not expecting so much food- delicious just unexpected!

Great way to spend an afternoon in Galway! - Lorraine was a great tour guide - very knowledgeable and personable. She also offered some recommendations from a local’s perspective. The drinks were good, and there was more food than we were expecting.

A great intro to Galway - Lerraine was our tour guide and she was wonderful. She was engaging, talked to everyone in the group and had a real spirit about her. We learned some fun history about Galway and visited some pubs we would not have stopped in otherwise. We are so happy we took this tour. It gave us a real feeling for the center city and as a native of Galway she had really good insights to the history and culture of the town. Highly recommend the tour and Lerraine.

Discover Galway through food… and maybe Conor… - Galway is an amazing city but, if it’s your first time, do this tour in your first 24-48 hours of arriving to town. Conor was an amazing tour guide, mixing local food, local drinks, and local lore into one romp around town. Fair warning: there’s alcohol on this tour, so if that’s not your thing, you might feel like you’re missing out. If it is your thing, and you’re able to time it right, pair the food tour with the Dark Side of Galway Walking Tour. The stories are fun to listen to when you’re just a little tipsy, and you may even get Conor again in the same evening!

Best introduction to Galway! - Absolutely phenomenal guide and brilliant tour! My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed every aspect of this tour. Lorraine was fun, knowledgeable, very easy to get to know. She fielded all if our questions and had answers for everything we inquired to know. The food was delicious, oysters fantastic, beers outstanding. Walked away from the tour completely satisfied with the time and money spent. Great way for Americans to get the basics of Irish culture in historic Galway. Book this tour!

Great way to get to know Galway pub culture in a short time. - We had a great time on the tour, tasting was more than enough, we got our bellies full with everything we were offered. But of course it is very individual thing, maybe it would not be enough to people who are very very hungry or have big appetite. Nicole "Tōg gobogē" :D was very friendly and had good stories to share. Learnt some nice words in gaelic! The only thing that could be improved is the duration, everything seemed a little bit rushed and the tour started and ended at exactly the time it was supposed to, not a minute longer.
