A must do for history lovers! - Fantastic and so informative! There are hidden gems all around the city that we never would have noticed or known the stories of if it wasn’t for our fantastic tour guide, Arthur! He was so knowledgeable since he’s lived in Galway his whole life. He was also was very patient with us as we had our 5 month old daughter with us. Highly highly recommend!

A Great Introduction to Galway - My wife and I spent a half day touring Galway city with Arthur. He was great - very knowledgeable of the city's history. As a city native, he was able to share a lot of perspectives, both present and past. He was also very accommodating to our interests and needs. We would highly recommend him on this tour.

Walkabout with Claddagh Native - Arthur was excellent. Friendly and kind he showed us all the things about Galway we would have missed if we just walked around on our own. He clearly loves his hometown and made sure we would want to return.
