This tour is unlike your normal history tour as it focuses on the women of Galway and the lives they led and the challenges they faced. It is very refreshing to look at a side of history that rarely gets covered, instead of battles, castles and Kings. I would very much recommend Marteen as a wonderful guide. She is warm and welcoming and is a font of information on these topics. I will definitely be checking out more of her tours.
Maria, thank you so much for leaving a wonderful review. It was an honour to share these women's stories with you.
We had an incredible tour on the HerGalway Walking tour! Marteen is so kind and knowledgeable about Irish history, the history of Galway and women's history. We were so impressed with the tour and we saw a side of Galway we hadn't experienced before and learned so much on the tour. I was on the tour with my mom and two aunts and it was really special to have the opportunity to learn about Galway through women's history. Highly recommend any of Marteen's tours if you're in Galway and want to experience a one-of-a-kind tour!
Kristin, I can't begin to tell you what your review means to me. Go raibh míle maith agat! It was wonderful to catch up with you again and to meet your mam and aunts. I had the best time sharing these women's stories with you all.
Marteen was a wonderful tour guide! She is so knowledgable of the Irish history and brings to life the stories of important women of Galway, those not to be forgotten. She has an ability with story telling to make the times and conditions of these women come to life. Perfect length tour and open to questions. Thanks for sharing!
Andrea, thank you so much for your lovely review. It was a pleasure sharing these women's stories with you. It's so important to tell these stories and to keep women's history alive. I hope you enjoyed the rest of your stay in Ireland.
Marteen was extremely knowledgeable and engaging. We had great conversation and learned a lot about the notable women of Galway!
Susan, apologies for the delay in replying. Thank you so much for taking the time to leave a review. I had so much fun sharing these women's stories with you, and I really enjoyed our conversations. I hope you enjoyed the rest of your stay in Ireland.
this was a fascinating tour, covering a diverse range of women's perspectives. Marleen was an excellent guide!
Thank you so much, Jennifer, for your kind review. I'm honoured to have shared these women's stories with you.
There are many hidden gems within the City of Galway that you you may miss ...... I would highly recommend Marteen as a guide to experience them. Marteen brought these gems to life with her passion and knowledge of the history and culture of the city. I thoroughly enjoyed the Galway Medieval Walking Tour as well as the Galway Dark Tour - both the same day ...... an easy pace and very informative. An excellent tour - highly recommend it!
Thank you so much Shirley for your lovely review. It was a pleasure showing you around Galway. I hope you had a wonderful time horse riding in Connemara.
