"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. "
"Derek led a tour for a student group of mine visiting Galway for the first time. He was very friendly and shared some great facts about Galway, which provided the perfect introduction to the city, combining historical insights with modern tips."
"We were a large group of people and had a great tour with Sebastian, he was very accommodating and friendly, made sure we had everything and shared his knowledge with us along the way. We got to some local places that were very nice to see. Very very nice tour with a very very nice guy."
