Delightful Guide - Guide Lorraine was a delight! Chatty and opinionated in all the right ways! Long enough to get a sense of the city but not too long.

Lovely experience! - It turned out that my sister and I were the only ones who booked for the 3:00pm tour. Our guide Seān was so fun to hang around and you could tell he really enjoys his job and tries to make everyone’s experience in Galway special. He’s also really funny and has an extensive knowledge of the history of Galway. It was a lovely experience!

Exceptional tour experience with Loraine! - This tour was exactly as described - we walked, talked, ate, and drank. I was in Galway with friends for 2 nights and we booked this tour for night #1 so we could get our bearings in the city and learn the history of Galway and hopefully come away from our evening with recommendations about how to send our full day there. Our tour guide delivered! Loraine was an excellent tour guide. She was enthusiastic and knowledgeable about her home city, engaged in meaningful conversation, and shared her experiences of growing up and being a student in Galway! Loraine provided to be a Galway expert and gave us a local's perspective and recommendations for shopping, eating, and experiencing local culture - she steered us to all the right places! Without hesitation, we all recommend Loraine as your tour guide - for any age visitor to Galway. She leads other tours with this same guide service - I imagine she is exceptional with any assignment.
