Lots of fun! - Gerry took us on a comprehensive walking tour of Galway explaining the history and culture along the way. We stopped at several pubs and sampled soup, entree and Irish Coffee with a quick stop before the coffee for a Murphy’s ice cream. I highly recommend this tour if your stay in Galway is limited and you want to get the highlights. Gerry’s recommendations for pubs featuring live Irish music were spot on!

Highly recommend! - My husband and I are spending a week in Galway and were fortunate enough to go on the Tour and Taste Galway tour today! Gerry was very personable, knowledgeable and professional all at the same time. We had wonderful conversations and the experience was superb. We learned a lot about Galway's history and felt very welcomed. We had the opportunity to try a variety of local food and drink! It was truly a fantastic experience and have already recommended it to others we have come accross in our adventure. Come with your appetite!! Highly recommend this experience as it was personable and we didnt feel as we were just another number.

Our new Irish Best Friend - We went for a food tour but got so much more. Gerry was like our old friend showing us around. There is so much history in Galway and we learned so much! He will modify the tour to your liking. My son was finally able to find some Iron Brew with his help. We were driving home and wanted to take it easy so we opted for Hot chocolate instead of an Irish pub and it was so delicious. Book Gerry, you won’t regret it!

A great time with Gerry! - Our time with Gerry was grand. We met up with him and he took us to some fun and quaint locations. Some of these spots were places we had considered going on our own. The food was great as was the conversation at the table. While walking off the calories, Gerry gave us some history of places we passed. An overall great way to spend the afternoon. I will consider an earlier time to start if possible as the 2:30 tour is right between lunch and dinner. We made due however. The food we ate set us up for a great Happy Hour at the end of the tour. Thanks for the goodtime Gerry!

Fun - My grown-up family and I enjoyed our tour very much.
We were treated to the equivalent of a three course meal over the three hour period. It was very good value for money and we enjoyed Learning a little more about Galway while enjoying smells and tastes in different locations
