Most Informative and Fun Galway Walking Tour - Thoroughly enjoyed our walking tour of Galway with Gerard. He was very knowledgeable and made the history fun! You can tell he enjoys what he does and it was a great way to get an overview of the city in our short time in Galway. Gerard even gave suggestions at the end of the tour for places to eat and drink. We highly recommend Gerard's Walks!

Wonderful for a newbie to Galway! - Gerard’s city tour was perfect for a newcomer to Galway! He provided lots of history of the city; you could tell he loved living here. Especially nice that he showed supplemental historic photos and threw in a bit of Irish humor. He even texted me a list of his recommendations for tea, sweets and of course, a good pint!

Great walking tour! - We had a nice tour of Galway and highly recommend it to those visiting for the first time. A lot of information was packed into 90 minutes and it really helped us make the most of our time since we only had one day in the city. The guide also followed up with some great suggestions for restaurants and shops to check out.
