Brenden gave us a wonderful tour through the streets of Galway. He was very knowledgeable about the history of the city and shared some great stories. It was a cold, rainy evening in Galway, but Brenden was sure to find interesting places to duck into when the rain and wind became a little too much. Despite the weather, we had a really lovely time. Note: The meeting place was a little confusing if you are not familiar with the city.
Good Afternoon, Thank you for the 5 * review and I am glad that you enjoyed the tour. However, I find it perplexing that you were the only group that could not follow the simple instructions to the starting (meeting) point even with the Zip Code and description provided, while all other participants who have taken the tour found the starting (meeting) point easily and with no issues. I hope the rest of the tour went smoothly. All the best, Brendan.
