CIE Tour - We met up with Brian Nolan our guide near the Spanish Arch for our private tour. He proceeded to take us to the Galway City Museum keeping us amused there and managed to keep us together up Quay and High Street, no small feat pointing out several features and regaling us in folklore and history. Time well spent that made us appreciate this part of Ireland.
