The square has a rich history dating back to medieval times when markets took place on the green in front of the town gates. A memorial of the US President Kennedy, who was made a Freeman of the city, marks the spot where he made a speech to approximately 100,000 Galway people in 1963, on his last trip before his assassination.

Galway with Patricia ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ - We booked a last minute tour with Patrizia in Galway, and it was the highlight of the trip! We learned SO much and wish we could have had her show us the entire country. Best money and time spent on our 10-day trip.

Guide Arthur McGuire is a local treasure - The best private walking tour we have ever taken! My wife and I have been on many tours and honestly today we were treated to the company of a well educated, humourous, warm, charming and funny guide born and raised locally and so passionate about his town! What an absolute treasure Arthur McGuire is! There needs to be another monument in Eyre Square to this local hero! 👍😀 If you are in Galway and he is available you won't be sorry! Galway has so much to see and with Arthur you miss nothing! Thank you!👍

A truly great walking tour of Galway - Our guide Patrizia was absolutely wonderful. She has been a guide and has lived in Ireland for over 20 years. Her knowledge of Galway and its extensive history was evident during our tour. She showed us many unique places that we would never have found on our own, I highly recommend booking a tourwith her or the company as it was a great introduction and experience for our first day in Galway during the three hours we were with her she pointed out many things that were unique to this wonderful city

Galway Walking Tour - Marteen was our guide she was very knowledgeable and kept things fun. We were glad we did the tour on our first day in Galway because it provided a good reference for the rest of the trip. Would highly recommend a tour with Marteen!

Galway in fascinating detail. - Derek our guide had an amazing knowledge of Galway which, with its multiple episodes of sieges and conquests over the centuries must prove to be a huge challenge to remember. Fascinating facts and things to see that you just wouldn’t notice without an expert guide, which Derek obviously is. We would thoroughly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Galway.

Great walking tour in Galway! - We truly enjoyed our walking tour of Galway with Derek. Our guide was knowledgable about the area and it's rich history- his humor was an added plus! The tour covered many of the key spots in Galway and had sufficient time to experience and learn about all of them. Highly recommend!
