A very fun excursion in a small group - We really liked it. The group was only 6 people. The guide is a real professional, he took us around the historical places of the city. The excursion was not boring at all. Thank you very much!

Storytelling Style Tour!! - Fun experience, our guide would ask questions to all of us (including my 10 year old son). The storytelling style of the tour great, not a dull moment. I would encourage everyone to take this tour on their first or second day in Galway.

Walking tour with family - Neil is friendly and funny. My children were engaged in his stories for the entire tour. They said it was best walking tour they ever had. The timing and information on the tour was perfect for our family of 4. Not too much and not too little. I would recommend a tour with Neil.
