Great Way to Start Your Visit to Galway - Gary was so accommodating when our group was delayed and arrived an hour late to start our tour. So glad we didn’t miss this tour. Gary is such a passionate story teller of all things Galway and Ireland. He is interesting, funny and his tour is a great way to begin your visit to Galway. You will not be disappointed!

Brian Noland - awesome tour guide! - Our tour guide, Brian Nolan, sure knew his stuff. Besides being knowledgeable about places we walked by, he was entertaining. No matter what place or store we walked by, he was greeted by locals, even a local vicar on his skateboard. His walk acclimated us to the city so we knew where we were going the next day. Thank you Brian!

Wonderful tour with Gary! - Highly recommend Gary. He was our guide for a walking tour in April. It was raining, but we powered through with Gary and had a wonderful tour full of history, stories and more. We ended at a local pub and shared a pint with Gary. Go on a tour with Gary if you are in Galway.

Walking through time. - Beautiful little city, described as the city of Tribes, poetically sung by W.B.Yates as 'Venice of the West' the walk was wonderful and good. The guide took us through the streets of James Joyce and his beautiful wife, small iconic restaurants, ornamental buildings and vibrant culture. This is part of our day from Dublin.

Terrible - Our tour guide was a no show. We were all very disappointed. We went out of our way to have this experience which did not happen.
