Great Way to Experience and Learn about Galway - Conor was our intrepid and knowledgeable guide for our visit through Galway. Though the weather was cold and rainy, my wife and I thoroughly enjoyed the little known tales of Galway's darker history (and indeed, this tour is really about Galway in general). I would highly recommend this tour - especially with Conor.

A 90 minute tour of some aspects of Galways past - Barry was our guide. The tour took us through the historic quarter of Galway and we got loads of stories of Galway's rich history. It was the coldest night of the year so far but Barry kept us well focused on the tour highlights. I thoroughly recommend this tour as a walk through of Galway's streets and its hidden stories. Well done Barry!
