Overview of your Galway city tour:

Come with me to explore the vibrant cosmopolitan city that is Galway. On this tour, you'll discover Eyre Square, where 60 years ago, 200k people came here to welcome JK Kennedy. You'll also find out why Galway is nicknamed the City of the Tribes. Together we'll admire the medieval architecture, towered by Lynch's Castle, Blake's Castle & the Spanish Arch, plus cross the Bridge into Claddagh, hearing local stories about Claddagh Ring & its symbols. Quietly, let's take in St. Nicholas Church (oldest functional church on the island) and Galway Cathedral, piercing the grey skies with its copper roof. Galway City has a lot more stories to tell from the O'Flaherty's to the Anglo-Normans, from Christofer Columbus to Cromwell, from the Spanish Armada to The Great Famine and the Easter Rising. Let me walk you through them, as I've made this place my home for the last 25 years. I'll also show you the best places for one or two pints of stout & a ½ dozen oysters, the perfect snack! Come along, you won't be sorry!
