Galway city with Arthur - Myself and my husband had a fantastic tour of Galway city with Arthur McGuire. He showed us lots of things we would not have seen or found otherwise. Arthur is from the Claddagh and wears the famous ring with pride. If you visit Galway, I would recommend you take this tour with him.

Galway with Patricia ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ - We booked a last minute tour with Patrizia in Galway, and it was the highlight of the trip! We learned SO much and wish we could have had her show us the entire country. Best money and time spent on our 10-day trip.

Guide Arthur McGuire is a local treasure - The best private walking tour we have ever taken! My wife and I have been on many tours and honestly today we were treated to the company of a well educated, humourous, warm, charming and funny guide born and raised locally and so passionate about his town! What an absolute treasure Arthur McGuire is! There needs to be another monument in Eyre Square to this local hero! 👍😀 If you are in Galway and he is available you won't be sorry! Galway has so much to see and with Arthur you miss nothing! Thank you!👍

A truly great walking tour of Galway - Our guide Patrizia was absolutely wonderful. She has been a guide and has lived in Ireland for over 20 years. Her knowledge of Galway and its extensive history was evident during our tour. She showed us many unique places that we would never have found on our own, I highly recommend booking a tourwith her or the company as it was a great introduction and experience for our first day in Galway during the three hours we were with her she pointed out many things that were unique to this wonderful city
