"Michael was a great guide. He was very knowledgeable and showed us all around Galway. He told us about much of the history of the city and took us to many points of interest. He pointed out many places to check out (pubs and restaurants). He was really friendly and a really great guy amen guide. A+"
"Our guide Derek did a lovely job of introducing us to the history of Galway. We learned about “murder holes” and the origins of words like “lynch” and “boycott.” Being on a small, personal tour with just my mum & her 4 daughters was perfect because my 85 year old mum walks pretty slow. Derek was able to pace the tour to our needs. We could always hear him easily because of the small group and he was open to all our questions. We really enjoyed the tour and talked about the things we learned all afternoon. "
"Derek is a great guy and great story teller. Deep knowledge of Irish history and Galway. The tour started on Eyre Square and took us through the Latin Quarter. The tour covered the rich history of Galway City and Derek points out the hidden historical gems along the way. We loved it. Would recommend taking the tour at the beginning of your stay in Galway. "
"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. "
"Started our day in Galway with a quick tour of Galway City. Derek was as informative as a book and great to speak with. There is no way we could have covered as much so quickly without him. Sieze the opportunity and get a real tour from a real local. "
