Walking tour- don’t miss! - Connor was a phenomenal guide. He was extremely knowledgeable and very entertaining. We learned a great deal about Galway and had the opportunity to sample “real” Irish food and beverages. So far, the highlight of our Ireland trip. Prefer Galway over Dublin. Would highly recommend this tour if led by Connor.

A great tour - Our guide was very knowledgeable and a great storyteller. He definitely had the gift of gab. He provided both historical insights and current city knowledge. The spots we stopped at were all interesting and the food was delicious.

Fabulous Introduction to Galway - This was an incredible experience and we enjoyed every bit of it. The tour guides were absolutely wonderful and showed us some very important parts of Galway that made us feel much more familiar and at home. Also we loved all of the food, particularly learning about the Irish bacon and cabbage vs the US corned beef and cabbage, and the drink sampling was great!
