The last one was upstairs at a pub so a bit hard for my wife to get up there but these pubs are in centuries-old buildings so that's to be expected. Could have given larger sampling amounts.”

Walk Galway with local guide Gerry while enjoying a four-course food-and-drink experience at four venues. Expect seafood chowder, a full Irish main, ice cream, and Irish coffee, plus stories at the Spanish Arch, Galway Market, Kirwan’s Lane, and more.

“Our time with Gerry was grand. We met up with him and he took us to some fun and quaint locations. Some of these spots were places we had considered going on our own. The food was great as was the conversation at the table. While walking off the calories, Gerry gave us some history of places we passed. An overall great way to spend the afternoon. I will consider an earlier time to start if possible as the 2:30 tour is right between lunch and dinner. We made due however. The food we ate set us up for a great Happy Hour at the end of the tour. Thanks…”
