Amazing tour with Gerard!... - Amazing tour with Gerard! Very informative, catered the tour based on our questions and things we said were interested. Just as entertaining as it was informative! Would absolutely recommend to anyone - especially on your first day in Galway as he gives excellent recommendations for coffee, pubs, restaurants, etc at the end of your tour.

Great Galway - We ended up having our guide Kathleen all to ourselves which was fabulous. She was very informative about Galway’s history and also gave us some great hints about things to do during our stay. I would highly recommend this walking tour!

Educational but fun - Our family enjoyed Gerard's tour very much. It was educational while still being fun - a great combo to win over the kids in the group! He informed us of little details of buildings that we would never have noticed on our own. We even learned a little Irish!

The Finest Tour In All Of Galway - Gerard was friendly and fun! He knows all the history of Galway and gave us some great memories. Such is his acclaim in the area that a man stopped us at the meeting point just to tell us he was about to give (I quote) "the finest tour in all of Galway". The man was right. Thanks Gerard!

This walking tour is a great way to see Galway! - Gerard was an excellent tour guide. We really enjoyed the walking tour of Galway. I had read that it was more beneficial to do a walking tour of Galway than a bus tour because it is smaller and more walkable and I definitely agree! I am really glad we opted to do the tour on foot so we were able to see the details around Galway. Gerard was very knowledgeable and passionate about the city and the stops on the tour. We really enjoyed learning about the history of Galway and we continued to see the same themes Gerard taught us about the city for the remainder of our time in Galway. What a beautiful city and a great tour. Thanks, Gerard!
