Fully Personalised. Local Insights & Curated Recommendations

Choose between off-the-beaten-path adventures or timeless classics, always at your own pace, and always shaped around your interests.

No two travellers see Galway the same way, so we’ve crafted experiences that blend history, culture, and connection:

The Classic – Step back in time through Galway’s old town and trace its transformation from a bustling merchant port to today’s creative heart of the West.

Wild Atlantic Way & Claddagh Ring – Feel the spirit of the Atlantic in the ancient fishing village of Claddagh and the coastal charm of Salthill, where tradition and sea breeze intertwine.

The Best of the West – Wander Galway’s most local side: the leafy university campus, hidden Tudor-Gothic treasures, the striking Cathedral, and the stories behind the Spanish Arch.

Craft your own journey – Share your curiosities from art to ancestry, and we’ll design an experience that reveals the Galway that speaks to you.

Such an amazing tour! Candela’s knowledge and passion for the history of Galway is unreal, she knew basically everything and had the answer to any question I had. I loved the tour and would recommend it to any visitor - whether you’re Irish and want to learn more about the history of Galway like me, or from abroad. Also included a tour of the red earls hall, and a stop at lynchs castle, and lynchs memorial near the church.
