Fun and Informative Tour! - This was such a fun tour. Our guide Brendan was so friendly and knowledgeable and told great stories! It was great to do this tour at the beginning of our visit to Galway as it gave us a good understanding and explanation of the history and the city before we spent our days there sightseeing and shopping. We highly recommend it.

A real gem! - Brendan was a wonderful tour guide! He's born & raised in Galway so he really understands the history & the city. He was able to point out a bunch of historically significant places we surely would have missed & tied some of Galway's historically significant citizens to other culturally significant figures/events outside of Ireland. He spoke very clearly & was easy to understand; the walk was a leisurely pace so would be doable for those needing a slower pace without stairs (maybe a couple step-ups here & there). He also gave us some great recommendations for other parts of Ireland we were planning on visiting. Absolutely recommend! Really lovely tour!
