So happy we took the tour! - Just spent an amazing afternoon with Gerry on the Taste & Tour Galway and can't recommend it enough. It is something special when your guide is also the owner of the company. Just be forwarded these are not little samples of food but nearly full sized portions. Come with an apitite, you'll leave full, informed and happy.

A great (and tasty) way to see the city - Our tasting tour around Galway was awesome!! What a unique way to see the city!! Our tour guide, Gerry, was fantastic!! He brought a great mix of historic knowledge, local insights, and great chat! The time absolutely flew by, and each venue was lovely! We got to see a mix of new and trendy, as well as classic and cosy spots! The food was so good! Between the two of us, we didn’t need an evening meal that night! - the portions were so good! And again, demonstrated an array of the types of food Galway has to offer; including some great drinks along the way too! Gerry did a great job of touring us round, a style which left a lot of space for nice convos and laughs! Would definitely recommend!!

Fabulous food tour - A wonderful guided tour around Galway. We were able to sample food/drinks at 4 locations and hear stories of the city. It was great fun and the host (Gerry) was very personable. I’d love to do this tour again if I’m back in Galway.

Good food and good conversation - The food was delicious and the tour guide did a good job. Had our 13 year old daughter with us and we were able to substitute drinks for her. Also had a number of different food ms to choose from at each stop which was nice. Would recommend to others.

Lovely and wholesome tour - The selection of food venues were all great, but Gerry was really the highlight of the experience. Our tour ended up just being my girlfriend and myself and Gerry was so kind and personal throughout the tour, and he gave a lot of great information on the city as well as telling us about his own experiences within Galway and Ireland as well as throughout the world. He really made us feel welcomed and I can't recommend this experience enough.

Not a traditional food tour. - Our tour guide, Gerry was fun and informative. He told us a lot of fun facts about Galway. The tour itself was not what we expected. We do a food tour in every country we visit and it has always been tapas at 4-5 stops. This one was different. We did make 4 stops, but they inclusively made one meal. The first stop included a big bowl of seafood chowder. The second stop was a full sized meal. The third stop was a dish of ice cream, and the fourth stop was an Irish coffee. The tour wasn't bad, it just wasn't what I expected.
