5.00There are many hidden gems within the City of Galway that you you may miss ...... I would highly recommend Marteen as a guide to experience them. Marteen brought these gems to life with her passion and knowledge of the history and culture of the city. I thoroughly enjoyed the Galway Medieval Walking Tour as well as the Galway Dark Tour - both the same day ...... an easy pace and very informative. An excellent tour - highly recommend it!
