Gerry was a wonderful guide. Very knowledgeable and he made our walking tour of Galway City quite enjoyable. You can't see it all in 90 minutes, of couse, but after the tour we did feel like we gained a much richer understanding of this fine Irish City. Good value and a Great Tour. Recommended!

Gerry was our guide, and he was terrific. It was Christmas Eve, and he told us the ins and outs of the holiday in Galway. We had yucky weather, but he made the time outside, walking around enjoyable and educational. I could have listened to him for hours. My kids (young adults) also said they had a great time with our tour. 5 Stars!
