Galway Gary - We loved hearing the history of Galway, as well as interesting fun facts, like where Ed Sheeran would busk. Gary was very knowledgeable, and he really made the walking tour fun and educational at the same time. We highly recommend him!

Great Way to Start Your Visit to Galway - Gary was so accommodating when our group was delayed and arrived an hour late to start our tour. So glad we didn’t miss this tour. Gary is such a passionate story teller of all things Galway and Ireland. He is interesting, funny and his tour is a great way to begin your visit to Galway. You will not be disappointed!

Brian Noland - awesome tour guide! - Our tour guide, Brian Nolan, sure knew his stuff. Besides being knowledgeable about places we walked by, he was entertaining. No matter what place or store we walked by, he was greeted by locals, even a local vicar on his skateboard. His walk acclimated us to the city so we knew where we were going the next day. Thank you Brian!

Good walking tour to downtown Galway! - Gary was a very good tour guide. Brought us to some good highlights of the downtown district. Only criticism is the tour took longer than we expected and felt afterward there was ad not to see in Galway city center. Still, his enthusiasm was exceptional and enjoyable!!
