Step into the story of Galway’s most treasured symbol on this small-group guided walking tour. Explore the origins of the iconic ring, receive your own Claddagh ring to take home, and relax in a cosy local café as you uncover its meaning and learn the traditional way to wear it.
Beginning in the historic fishing village of Claddagh, you’ll take in sweeping Atlantic views while discovering how this iconic ring became a globally recognised symbol of love, loyalty, and friendship.
