Keith gave a lovely narration of the tales of Galway. Fun way to learn about history and see some lesser-known sights around town. Nice stretch of the legs too!

Ita a pretty cool...

Darlene_B, Aug 2026

Ita a pretty cool exploration of the darker sides of Galways history. None of the stories are embellished and most of them sound fairly realistic.

Just okay

Sandra_K, Aug 2026

It was just OK. It didn’t have to be two hours long because it really wasn’t a ghost toor. It was more of a history lesson. Which was fine and parts were interesting except it’s not what I signed up for. They had only three ghost stories are the whole time.

No Ghosts And Legends!!!!

Chiara_C, Aug 2026

SKIP THIS TOUR! There were no stories of legends and ghosts. The tour guide was very nice but mostly talked about flooding near the river, her Granny and family photo of John F Kennedy. Very Strange! We chose this tour because It had an option to stop for red ale at The King’s Head. Do yourself a favor and just stop in and buy yourself a pint.
