5.00Colm was an absolutely fabulous guide through the city. We would 100% recommend him to anyone traveling to Galway. He was so kind and calm with our children who were fresh off their first red eye flight. Great recommendations for more things to see, eat and do around the city. Thank you!

5.00Oisin was like an extension of our family. We really got a glimpse into life in Galway and from the perspective of a college student, which was wonderful for my college age children. We enjoyed our time and insights Oisin provided. Thank you so much!
