Great food tour - Great tour. Sean was a great guide. More food than tour, so don’t worry about this being too much of a walk. Great way to get dinner and drink recs for your stay.

Great tour, even better tour guide. - John was a great guide with a lot of knowledge and fantastic sense of humor. We had loads of fun. There wasn't that much walking so it's perfect for an older crowd if mobility is an issue. He was also great about accommodating one of my friends who was vegetarian which was really appreciated.

Fantastic time and tour guide! - John was host with the most. Food was fantastic and John was super, like meeting up with a mate for a pint. He was so knowledgeable and yet personable.

Unforgettable Galway Adventure! 🍀 - Great way to experience Galway - our tour guide Conor gave a fantastic historical overview of not only the food but historical sites as well. Well worth the price and the amount of walking was appropriate for my parents that are in their 80's that accompanied us. We had a nice time with a group size of 12. We booked last minute and they were very accomodating!

Great tour! - Collin was a great tour guide! He provided a lot of information and history about Galaxy and the areas surrounding it. We visited 3 great pubs/restaurants where we sampled food and a drink. It was a great introduction to Galway and we went back to a couple places later for dinner.

Horrible food. - The food was HORRIBLE! Plain white bread with potato chips. Some fries with gravy and a fried ball. That was it. It was shockingly bad. I was embarrassed because I had booked this experience for my group. AVOID at all costs. Our guide was polite but not much history.
