Growing up in Galway has given me an intimate knowledge of the rich and vibrant history of the jewel of the west, Galway. Much like the strong currents of the River Corrib that run through it, the stories and tales of its inhabitants have flowed through my life. A family heritage of storytelling imbued me with a love for imparting a good yarn. These tours will have the history, the lore and the origins of Galway’s unique culture, from a true native Galwegian! My walking tours draw from 20 years involvement in theatre, storytelling and music. My guided jaunts around Galway are the perfect marriage of all these aspects of my life. It will become abundantly clear the joy it provides me and I aim to share this joy with my customers. If it’s the culinary delights of Galway, its medieval history, its lesser known stories or the rich musical and artistic heritage of the city you seek to learn about, I would be privileged to guide you along the way. Gaillimh Abu!

DIANA_B, Aug 2026

Best day ever

The ferry ride was terrific! Lovely, funny enthusiastic Captain and a magnificent crew We saw dolphins and a whale as we motored by the Cliffs of Moher. Everybody on board including crew could not have been more ecstatic! It was so special I was grateful to be among the passengers and the crew when we Spotted them. Dolphins swam along the boat for at least 20 minutes. Playing in the surf created by the forward movement. Best day ever!!!!!

Cliffs of Moher & the Burren Tour from Galway

Bernadine_D, Aug 2026

Wonderful tour Burren & Cliffs of Moher

Full Day 10-6pm filled with many worthwhile stops along the Burren. Beautiful scenic landscape along the way. We stopped at a castle, went through small towns, saw sheep, horses and cows. Highlight of course was the Cliffs of Moher where we had plenty of time to explore on our own. They also stopped in Doolin at a small pub for lunch. What made our day even better was our guide who was also our driver-Francis! Francis was knowledgeable and funny, kept the day interactive and fun. Would have been good to have a bathroom on board for an all day tour but there were enough stops. Enjoyed our day immensely! Thank you Francis!

Connemara Day Trip Including Leenane Village and Kylemore Abbey from Galway

Brian_J, Aug 2026

A great day in the countryside

This was a great tour! Our tour guide was very knowledgeable. They gave us plenty of time at the various stops to stretch our legs. Take pictures have something to eat. The scenery is beautiful. It’s a great way to get out into the countryside and out of the city for a day.

Galway to Aran Islands Inisheer, Doolin, Cliffs of Moher Day Tour

Barbara_B, Aug 2026

Amazing tour…a must do!

It was a beautiful tour with a friendly and great bus driver and guide. Tommy shared many interesting facts about Irish history and people, as well as the towns and areas we went through. Plus the Aran Islands and the Cliffs of Moher were even more beautiful than the photos I had seen.

Private Cliffs of Moher Day Tour

lissetteegues, Aug 2026

Amazing day!!! Highly recommend!

We just finished our tour, and it was hands down one of our favorite experiences of the entire trip! DC was absolutely amazing. He is incredibly knowledgeable about the region and its history and shared so many interesting stories and insights throughout the day. Our daughters, who are in their 20s, absolutely loved the experience as well. DC made the entire day informative, fun, and memorable. We cannot recommend him highly enough!

Small Group Kylemore Abbey, Sheepdog Demo & Connemara Tour

Jennifer_Y, Aug 2026

Connemara and Kylemore...

Connemara and Kylemore Abbey are beautiful places to visit and our guide and driver, Michael, was outstanding! Very knowledgeable and a great driver through some tricky terrain. The highlight of the day was a visit to Joyce Country Sheepdogs for an amazing demonstration and opportunity to bottle feed and interact with the lambs! Highly recommend!

Galway to Aran Islands & Cliffs of Moher Day Tour & Cliffs Cruise

Lauren_G, Aug 2026

Worth it just to avoid doing the drive

The cliffs are incredible, but frankly I would recommend it to anyone just to have someone else drive you through those long and winding roads! It’s about 1.5 hours there, slightly longer back, and I would not want to drive those roads myself! There are food options on the island you visit as well as at the cliffs near the gift shop. Arrive at the boat at least 20-25 min early on your way to the cliffs to get a descent seat for viewing them.

Galway Celtic Mythology Tour

Matthew_R, Aug 2026

Wonderful Tour of the City

It was a fun little tour of Galway! We got to see some pretty spots and learn some history and mythology. Our tour guide was very nice too. We were a bit lost trying to find the meet up point but she actually went out of her way to walk around the buildings and find anyone who may have been looking! Went above and beyond and we appreciated that!

Independent Cliffs of Moher Half Day Trip from Galway

Amanda_B, Aug 2026

Perfect half day trip to...

Perfect half day trip to the cliffs! It took a little over an hour drive to the cliffs and the roads to get there are steep and windy, so if you get motion sick keep this in mind. We had just under 2 hours to explore the cliffs which was the perfect amount of time for us. Great visibility the day we went and our driver was organized and friendly.

Walking and Tasting Tour of Galway City

Isobel_G, Aug 2026

The perfect introduction to Galway’s food, pubs and history

If you only have time for one food experience in Galway, make it this one. Our guide was excellent. He was a genuine local with a great sense of humour, incredibly knowledgeable, and happy to answer all of my questions about Galway, Irish history, food and pub culture. It felt more like spending an afternoon with a local friend than being on a tour. The seafood chowder at Screene’s was outstanding and, without question, the best chowder I had during my stay in Galway. Rich, perfectly seasoned, packed with seafood and served with delicious homemade soda bread. I tried chowder elsewhere afterwards, but nothing matched it. I also loved tasting local craft beer that I probably would never have ordered on my own, visiting some of Galway’s beautiful historic pubs, and finishing with Murphy’s famous sea salt ice cream, which absolutely lived up to its reputation. The perfect finale was learning how to make a real Irish coffee ourselves. As a Swede, I grew up knowing and loving Irish coffee, so it was wonderful to finally learn how it’s properly made in Ireland. My only suggestion would be to give guests a printed or digital list of all the pubs, restaurants, beers and foods included on the tour. We visited so many wonderful places that I would have loved to revisit them later, but I couldn’t remember all the names. This tour gave me a much deeper appreciation of Galway’s food, history and pub culture. I left full, happy, and already planning where I wanted to return. Highly recommended.

From Galway: Guided tour of Connemara with 3 hour stop at Connemara National Pk.

Margaret_B, Jul 2026

A lovely way to spend the day....

First of all, our driver, Mike was great! Full of information, humor but still low key. The drive was not as winding as I feared. I took a motion sickness pill before we went and I was fine. This is the only tour that gets to use the route we took!! It's exceptional! Mike called out history and information for all the villages,towns,lakes,etc we passed by. We had several photo stops. The landscape is gorgeous and ever changing. We had a 30 min stop in Clifden, which is a charming town. Beware! 30 minutes goes by faster than you think! Set an alarm for 25 min so you have time to get back to the bus! ( I admit, I was 1 and 3 min late back to the bus on both major stops, Mike was sweet about it, but a couple passengers threw daggers! Lol) I guess I was the Black Sheep of the bus! We went to Kylemore Abbey. It's a wonder! The view of the castle across the lake is the shot to beat! We had 3 hours there. Again, set your alarm for 2.5 hours to allow you time to get back to the bus. You are covering a lot of ground there! I'll keep details out so you can discover the beauty for yourself. All in all...this trip was well worth it! Highly recommend!!!
