About local Jim
22 May 2025
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.

About local Derek
Definitely recommend!

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.
