Itinerario
Situata nel cuore medievale di Galway, la St. Nicholas Collegiate Church è stata il punto focale della storia della città per gli ultimi 700 anni. Venite a scoprire la ricca storia della chiesa e dei personaggi famosi ad essa associati.
Venite ad ascoltare la leggendaria storia del luogo in cui James Lynch impiccò suo figlio Walter per omicidio e la storia dietro le espressioni "linciaggio", "linciato" e "linciaggio".
Fondato nel 1928, An Taibhdhearc è il teatro nazionale in lingua irlandese d'Irlanda. Sede di una tradizione di spettacoli teatrali e produzioni in lingua irlandese da quasi un secolo. La parola Taibhdhearc appare come una glossa per il latino teatrum (teatro) in un vecchio documento irlandese, derivato da radici che significano "sogno" e "occhiata". L'irlandese moderno per un teatro è amharclann.
Uno degli edifici più importanti di Galway, il King's Head vanta una ricca storia che abbraccia 800 anni. Venite a vedere il camino del 1612 e ascoltate la storia dietro l'esecuzione di Carlo I da parte di Oliver Cromwell. Se i muri di questo edificio potessero parlare.

Situato all'incrocio tra Cross Street e Quay Street, Tigh Neachtain è stato all'angolo della storia per gli ultimi 250 anni. Dalla sua proprietà da parte di Richard Martin e della famiglia Martin dal 1754 fino ai tempi moderni, questa tappa ha storie di diritti degli animali, arte, storia e cultura.
Questa strada medievale è stata teatro di una ricca storia, fatta di teatri, industrie e conventi, e trasmette un senso di serenità che metterà chiunque a proprio agio.

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.
