Nice walk around central Galway
"Nice time strolling around Galway with Michael. We especially liked visiting the West End. Michael knows a lot about Galway, Ireland and history in general, which made the tour more enjoyable. He also has some strongly held opinions, which would have put us off the tour if we were less tolerant. "

Great content
"Our group of 5 had a great time and learned just the right amount of history during our Galway tour with Jim. He accommodated the little changes, when we wanted to add a snack and a cocktail. He ended up providing a unique cocktail experience which we would have never found on our own. "
