Charming tour of Galway! - Neil was knowledgeable, friendly, and entertaining! It was great to see a side of Galway we wouldn't have discovered on our own. He also managed our group of 6 with charm, bringing us into a couple of shops and got us all talking with each other. Definitely recommend this tour!
