Zoe was an amazing and highly engaging guide. We got a lovely overview of some of the history and culture of Galway. The tastings were well-selected, yummy and overall the experience was an excellent value. 12/10!
Had a wonderful time with Conor!
We enjoyed our afternoon learning about Galway and sampling food from the region! The Irish coffee was a nice way to conclude our tour.
Zoe was super knowledgeable and very engaging and enthusiastic. She provided very interesting insights into the culture and history of the area in a highly entertaining way. The food and drink was delicious and tied into the stories really well.
2 x 1/2 pints, seafood chowder, ham & cabbage, 1 scoop of icecream and an Irish Coffee and learning about 2 statues really wasn’t worth the charge. It was great to chat with other travellers but could be cheaper
Fantastic tour Food was great and Zoe’s energy was fantastic!!!!
Sein E. Was excellent tour guide. He had a fun personality and sense of humor. He was very knowledgeable about Galway. He made an effort to chat with everyone in the group and get to know them. The food and drink was delicious and authentic. The stops at pubs and restaurants were all great choices.
Fantastic tour! Zoe was an excellent guide! We ate great Irish food. Sampled some great drinks. It was well done.
We had an amazing tour with Sean. Fun, knowledgeable and passionate about Irish roots and traditions. Fluent in Irish, I won’t share the phrases he taught us. Would recommend this tour who wants to hear and taste traditional Galway. Amazing experience!
I love doing walking & food tours on the first day of arriving in a new city. Galway was delightful and our guide Sean was wonderful: informative, funny, and very Irish (charming).
