Easy walk - fun and educational tour - Ed was a wonderful guide! We loved his enthusiasm and joy for his town and its history. He spoke loud enough for everyone to hear and made it fun to see the sites. We have a new appreciation for the town, its history, its people, the pubs, coffee shops and landscape. Easy walk for people of all ages.

Fun walking tour of Westport - Ed was our tour leader, and, as a local, he did a great job of giving us a feel for Westport and some background and history of the town and the area. We also got to meet some of the locals, which was so enlightening and entertaining. Great way to learn about this area.

If I could rate our tour... - If I could rate our tour with Stephan higher than 5 stars, I would. What an incredible guide for our Westport experience. Stephan was incredibly knowledgeable about Westport history, local shops and restaurants, and Irish lore in general. He clearly has such a passion for his beautiful town, and his excitement for the city was contagious. Thank you for everything, Stephan!
