I’m Ultan, a secondary school teacher who’s been living in Galway the past 6 years. Big football head and I’ve a soft spot for a good Guinness. I started this tour because I love Galway’s history and it gave me an excuse to talk a bit more. If you’re up for a stroll for 40mins with a few stories and a laugh, come along.
