Top Galway Tours, Sightseeing & Cruises - page 7

Vibrant and bustling Galway is known for its festivals, quirky pubs, and street performers, but only those in-the-know can spot the tell-tale signs of its medieval past. On this self-guided audio tour, I’ll point out remnants of this historical city and reveal some of its darker tales of death, murders, and executions. Starting in front of the Browne Doorway in Eyre Square, you’ll walk through Galway’s main shopping district to your first stop, the King’s Head Bistro and Pub. There, I’ll share the gory details of King Charles I of England’s execution and what the event has to do with the pub’s name. You’ll then wind your way into the heart of the Latin Quarter to the Spanish Arch, to find out how millions of Irish were affected by An Gorta Mór (or, the Great Hunger) of 1846. On this dark tour you’ll also have the opportunity to see the Lynch’s Memorial Window where a father hung his own son in the 1400s, and learn about the murder of the Joyce family in Maamtrasna in 1882.

Your Galway evening starts at the Spanish Arch, built in 1584 to extend the quays for the Spanish wine trade. Over 3 to 4 hours, you cover the city on foot, sit in on a private trad session at Monroes on Dominick Street, eat a proper Irish dinner while the music plays, and finish with a Guinness pour and a Polaroid to take home. The trad session is booked for your group only. Two working musicians talk you through what they are playing: reels versus jigs, uilleann pipes versus fiddle. Most guests say this is when it stops feeling like a tour. The Guinness pour comes last. There is a right way to do it and most people don't get it first time. A Polaroid is taken while the pint settles. You keep the photo, a handwritten card, a coaster, and a weekly guide to the best trad sessions and GAA fixtures in Galway.
