5.00Wonderful experience, got to see some incredible places and I learned a lot about the city’s fascinating history! The guide was very knowledgeable and had a great sense of humor, he gave some great recommendations for places to eat and other things to do in Galway as well. 10 out of 10, I definitely recommend this, especially for anyone who is visiting the area for the first time, it’s a great way to get oriented to the city and narrow down some must see spots to explore further.

Wonderful Guided Tour of Galway

5.00Brenden gave us a wonderful tour through the streets of Galway. He was very knowledgeable about the history of the city and shared some great stories. It was a cold, rainy evening in Galway, but Brenden was sure to find interesting places to duck into when the rain and wind became a little too much. Despite the weather, we had a really lovely time. Note: The meeting place was a little confusing if you are not familiar with the city.
Perfect introduction to Galway

5.00This 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.
