Excellent introduction to Galway - Excellent introduction into Galway history and pub culture. Sean was a consummate raconteur, lover of food, whiskey and ale, and a great companion for the afternoon. Lovely tour.

A real walk through the heart of Galway - Being a first time visitor to the area we didn't know what to expect from the city of Galway. With the help of our very local guide Seán, we now feel both informed of and positively welcomed in the city. We were able to taste some very delicious local foods, sip on some classic Irish beverages, and see some truly historic and unforgettable pubs. This is an unbeatable introduction to the city of Galway.

Sisters Eat Their Way Through Galway! - My sisters and I took the walking food tour and had a blast! It ended up being us and one other group of 2 and its was perfect. Our tour guide Nina was incredible! She answered all our side quest questions and was super knowledgeable about the entirety of our tour. And of course, the food! The food and drinks were fantastic and I felt like I was getting a glimpse into the food of Ireland! Would totally recommend

Delicious Irish food with a large side of history and culture! - Jason was a friendly and knowledgable guide for our walking tour and food tasting in Galway. We learned a lot about Galway, Ireland, traditional Irish food and drink. The tour is concentrated mostly near Eyre Square and a few blocks of Shop Street. We were very impressed by the quality (& quantity!) of the food and drink we enjoyed. We’ll always remember how to make Irish coffee! Thanks, Jason, for a great afternoon despite the wind and rain!

Thank you Nina! Such a... - Thank you Nina! Such a cool, fun time. Love your energy, knowledge, and sense of humor. Great little stops and perfect sampling of some core Galway staples! That seafood chowder would be perfect at a high school football game "in the bleachers" 😂
