From John Wayne to JFK and from Julia Roberts to Queen Victoria people have fallen in love wearing a Claddagh ring.

Over the years it has become a symbol of Irish identity recognised all around the world. It speaks of eternal life, but can also have a darker side too.

The Claddagh tour is unique in offering an in-depth exploration of the tales and traditions surrounding the Claddagh ring and relates it to the village from which it sprang.

The relaxed pace walk takes in several of Galway's neighbourhood and includes a stop at a great cafe on the way.

The tour is also unique in offering a ring included in the price of the tour (terms and conditions apply).

With many satisfied customers over the years we are now delighted to offer the tour on the Viator platform for you to book.

We look forward to meeting our new guests this year.

What To Expect

Galway City Museum

The museum starting point means we can get a great view over the city, especially the Claddagh area that we will be exploring. The museum also contains the world's oldest claddagh a ring and a rather strange artefact created by the probable orginator of the Claddgh ring.

30 minutes • Admission Not Applicable

River Corrib

We begin our stroll over to the Claddagh around the river area. Here we can take in the glorious views of the long walk and here some of the superstitions and traditions of the people of the Claddagh. Hopefully we will also be able to take a look at an example of a traditional 'hooker' boat floating on Europe's most powerful river.

We had an amazing time with our tourguide, Alexandria. Even though she had informed us that it was one of her first tours, you never would have known. She was extremely kind, informative, and exactly the kind of guide you would want to tour Galway. Throughout the tour, we visited the museum, walked along the river, got coffee and sweets at a cafe, went all throughout Claddagh, got Claddagh rings, and even met the town crier! We would definitely recommend Alexandria and this tour to others visiting Galway.
Highly recommend this lovely tour!

I booked the tour with a friend over from the States as I’d never really done a walking tour of Galway city. Neil the tour guide was excellent: weaving in history of Galway City and The Claddagh as well as the people and of course the famous jewellry. The highlight was definitely the walk around The Claddagh (a part of Galway we hadn’t seen before) and learning about the history. We got to choose our own rings from the shop and enjoyed speaking with the staff there as well. Thanks Neil, for a wonderful day! We learned things we never knew and had a great time!
