Tour description

Join me for a walking tour that brings Galway’s vibrant spirit to life. 

We’ll wander through its winding medieval streets, explore iconic landmarks, and dive into the stories that make this city the cultural heartbeat of the West of Ireland. Whether it’s your first visit or your fifth, you’ll walk away with a deeper connection to the city!

Itinerary: Saint Nicholas' Collegiate Church, Lynch Memorial, Lynch's Castle, the Hall of the Red Earl, Blake's Castle, the Spanish Arch & Galway bay

You’ll discover Galway at a relaxed pace, starting inside our last Medieval building and weaving through hidden alleyways, scenic riverbanks, and the atmospheric Old Town—all brought to life with engaging stories, legends, and local insights.

What’s included?

✅ 90-minute guided walking tour through the heart of Galway
✅ A passionate local guide (that’s me!) who shares both history and hidden gems
✅ Fascinating stories, cultural context & recent events
✅ Personal tips on the best spots to eat, drink, and explore


A Walk through Time

Galway is a living timeline. From medieval walls and churches to street performers and art collectives, the city blends its storied past with a dynamic, modern edge. 

Culture at Every Corner

Colorful shop-fronts, cobbled squares, and impressive architecture are just the beginning. As we explore, you’ll hear about poets, rebels, artists, and traders who made Galway a place of inspiration, resilience, and creativity.
