Sean was awesome! On a very ugly day with tons of rain, he was still able to give us a phenomenal tour. We had a lot of fun. Great food and drink too.

Jason was a very informative and entertaining tour guide! He was a wealth of historical information. The pubs we visited were wonderful and the seafood stew was delicious. It was a rainy night for us, but we still had a great time and met some wonderful people also on our tour. We fell in love with Galway and cannot wait to return!
