Galway Immersion - Great way to immerse in Galway and it's history - especially the Lynch familiy! Lorraine was a fantastic guide. Nice way to complement what we learned in the Galway museum. -- The Lynch Family from Boston.

Not to be Missed - Our group was international but became close quickly thanks to Sean's inclusive nature. I'm sure he has stage experience! Fascinating, historical and fun. Recommend comfortable shoes.

Interesting! - Seán was wonderful! He was funny, knowledgeable and entertaining - couldn’t have asked for a better tour guide! The tour is perfect to do if you are interested in history, mythology and crime. Would do this again 100%!

A lovely walk and fun tour! - Nicole and Lorraine were awesome!! Truly enjoyed this tour - Nicole was very knowledgable about all the history, and her passion for the mystic side of Galway was contagious! My only note would be that management should print out the pictures on a board and give it to them to hold up, as showing us them on a phone was a bit difficult with how large our group was, and she had to go person to person. However, that's not a critique on her as she was doing her best. Lorraine was great support and I hope she's given full tour guide status soon!!
