HerGalway Walking Tour Review

Maria_M, Jun 2026

This tour is unlike your normal history tour as it focuses on the women of Galway and the lives they led and the challenges they faced. It is very refreshing to look at a side of history that rarely gets covered, instead of battles, castles and Kings. I would very much recommend Marteen as a wonderful guide. She is warm and welcoming and is a font of information on these topics. I will definitely be checking out more of her tours.

Response from Host, Jun 2026

Maria, thank you so much for leaving a wonderful review. It was an honour to share these women's stories with you.

Highly recommend!

Marteen was extremely knowledgeable and engaging. We had great conversation and learned a lot about the notable women of Galway!

Response from Host, May 2026

Susan, apologies for the delay in replying. Thank you so much for taking the time to leave a review. I had so much fun sharing these women's stories with you, and I really enjoyed our conversations. I hope you enjoyed the rest of your stay in Ireland.
