What To Expect
Our tour starts in Eyre Square in Galway City Centre. Listen as your guide tells you stories about Eyre Square, the (seemingly) random doorway which was once the gateway to the park, Galway's link to a famous US president and learn about the flagpoles that adorn the north side of the square.
The Browne Doorway
Listen to the tales of the Tribes of Galway, one of which was the Browne family, who's doorway now sits in Eyre Square
