- X7140KAas0 contributionsGreat ExperienceThis was a great tour. It felt like we were walking the city with a friend as opposed to being on an impersonal and overly structure tour. Ed was a great guide who showed us many of the city’s highlights and provided a lot of great historical context for what we were seeing. Ed also provided a lot of great recommendations for the remainder of our stay - so far all of them have been excellent!Written 29 October 2024
- wbplummer0 contributionsWhat a pleasure...We had a 20 hour layover in Dublin and couldn't bear to spend it in the airport, so we found a room for the night and reserved the private tour with Ed between our arrival, overnight stay and crack-of-dawn departure. What a pleasure. He was attentive, ridiculously knowledgeable, pleasantly witty and warm. It didn't feel like an extended layover, it felt like an all-too-brief visit with a local friend.Written 28 October 2024
- natalieg5730 contributionsPrivate Walking Tour DublinOur guide, John Caffrey, was great! He had a wealth of knowledge and a passion for Irish history and was happy to answer any questions we had. He took a few pictures of us along the way, and didn’t mind if we wanted more or less time at a stop. We enjoyed the break, to enjoy an Irish Coffee along the way. We learned a lot about Ireland and would definitely encourage others to book this tour. Thank you, John for a memorable day.Written 25 October 2024

Our guide Patrizia was absolutely wonderful. She has been a guide and has lived in Ireland for over 20 years. Her knowledge of Galway and its extensive history was evident during our tour. She showed us many unique places that we would never have found on our own, I highly recommend booking a tourwith her or the company as it was a great introduction and experience for our first day in Galway during the three hours we were with her she pointed out many things that were unique to this wonderful city

Our walking tour of Galway with Arthur was a delight and a highlight of our week-long trip to Ireland! We learned so much about the history of the city thanks to Arthur's deep personal experience and passion for his hometown. Would strongly recommend a walking tour with Arthur to anyone who is planning a trip to Galway, we learned so much during our stay and hope to return soon!

We truly enjoyed our walking tour of Galway with Derek. Our guide was knowledgable about the area and it's rich history- his humor was an added plus! The tour covered many of the key spots in Galway and had sufficient time to experience and learn about all of them. Highly recommend!

Jim did a great job, he has a lot of local knowledge about the area. He tended to walk a little fast though. We hit some interesting spots that we would not have found on our own. But it was a little pricey for the length of tier.

Myself and my husband had a fantastic tour of Galway city with Arthur McGuire. He showed us lots of things we would not have seen or found otherwise. Arthur is from the Claddagh and wears the famous ring with pride. If you visit Galway, I would recommend you take this tour with him.

Perfect day in Galway. The small city is a gem and the tour guide was very professional and friendly. Lovely to be with a local guide who knew all about the history, culture and where to go for food, drinks and entertainment.
