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.

5.00I had the pleasure of taking a walking tour in Galway this evening, led by our guide, Brendan. He was exceptionally knowledgeable and provided a well-paced and engaging overview of the city’s history, with a particular focus on the Latin Quarter. Brendan answered all of our questions thoroughly and brought the area’s rich cultural past to life through insightful commentary and anecdotes. A truly worthwhile experience for anyone visiting Galway.

5.00Brendan was a wonderful tour guide! He's born & raised in Galway so he really understands the history & the city. He was able to point out a bunch of historically significant places we surely would have missed & tied some of Galway's historically significant citizens to other culturally significant figures/events outside of Ireland. He spoke very clearly & was easy to understand; the walk was a leisurely pace so would be doable for those needing a slower pace without stairs (maybe a couple step-ups here & there). He also gave us some great recommendations for other parts of Ireland we were planning on visiting. Absolutely recommend! Really lovely tour!
