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.
