Arthur is the best guide!!!! - My wife and I were so fortunate and blessed to have Arthur as our private guide in Galway. He is a true expert as he was born and raised in this town and he loves it, and you can tell. We learned more from him, told to us with wonderful stories you will most likely not get from anyone else. We have both used guides all over this planet, and I don’t think any have been as sincere, professional, and wise as Arthur. We will return to Galway, and much of that is because of him, and when we do, we will be making contact with him. I can tell you if anyone every asks us, we would, without a doubt recommend Arthur to be your guide to this beautiful city, his home, Galway.

Arthur Rocks - Arthur was the best. He gave us a fantastic tour that had us all engaged the whole time. It was around 3 hours and Arthur tailored the tour towards what we had later in the day. He is very knowledgeable and passionate and would definitely recommend doing this tour.
