Galway Walking Food Tour

5.00Gerry was a very knowledgeable, personable, and amazingly fun tour guide! A ton of delicious food and an enjoyable walk through the streets of Galway! My menu choices included the BEST clam/fish chowder; delectable mussels at our 2nd stop; Murphy’s ice cream and then, saving the BEST for last, an unrivaled Irish coffee! I highly recommend this tour if you are coming to Galway! Thank you, Gerry! Teasie & Jim Colla

5.00Absolutely fabulous way to send an afternoon in Galway . Gerry’s passion and knowledge of Galway’s history is second to none. Not only was this walking tour extremely enjoyable but we managed to eat our way round Galway’s food hot spots.It was set at a pace at which we were comfortable. We walked from food location to food location to try another piece of Galway’s finest fayre whilst Gerry filled us in on the history of the area and the wider area as well.Gerry was very sociable and really good craic and of all the walking tours and food tours we’ve ever done this was definitely the best!
So happy we took the tour!

5.00Just spent an amazing afternoon with Gerry on the Taste & Tour Galway and can't recommend it enough. It is something special when your guide is also the owner of the company. Just be forwarded these are not little samples of food but nearly full sized portions. Come with an apitite, you'll leave full, informed and happy.
Great tour and wonderful guide

5.00Our tasting tour around Galway was awesome!! What a unique way to see the city!! Our tour guide, Gerry, was fantastic!! He brought a great mix of historic knowledge, local insights, and great chat! The time absolutely flew by, and each venue was lovely! We got to see a mix of new and trendy, as well as classic and cosy spots! The food was so good! Between the two of us, we didn’t need an evening meal that night! - the portions were so good! And again, demonstrated an array of the types of food Galway has to offer; including some great drinks along the way too! Gerry did a great job of touring us round, a style which left a lot of space for nice convos and laughs! Would definitely recommend!!
Great Galway experience!
