Paul our guide, last minute fill in for Conor, did an amazing tour. We learned so much about Galway and Ireland in an enjoyable, engaging walk. This was our first evening in Ireland and it set the stage for our trip. We felt so informed and had a great perspective for our visit!

    Great intro to the square

    Katrena_D, Jul 2026
    This was a really nice introduction to the square as we had never been. It was interesting to hear about all the history and our guide Connor was very knowledgeable. He was also very kind in gearing the tour towards what we wanted while still making sure we got everything described in the tour included.

    Can get a college credit!

    This was a very informative comprehensive and personalized tour of history, culture, current Galway geography and natural environment. Connor was an experienced, enthusiastic and expert communicator. Overall it was a pleasurable and highly useful beginning of any visit to Galway to get bearings straight and ultimately make good use of time in a very lovely city.

    Conor is personable,...

    Great mix of a Galway history lesson plus local recommendations. Suggest you do this tour at the beginning of your visit to help navigate the city and use Conor’s tips for pubs, restaurants, sights, etc. Very engaging guide!

    Very enjoyable walking tour with our guide Conor who has a great knowledge of his native city Galway

    Memorable stories, Engaging storyteller!

    Mike_L, Oct 2024
    Conor was fun and a great storyteller. We really enjoyed the way he pulled so many aspects of Galway history and interesting anecdotes together at several interesting locations. Well worth it to take this tour. He carefully and flexibly wove together all of his stories with charm and humor. We were bummed that the tour had to end! We highly recommend it!
