My wife and I had a fantastic experience touring around Galway with Brian! It was only a couple of us, so we jumped in a car together and drove all around, checking out thatched-roof buildings, the seaside, the university, and more, learning the history and just chatting about Ireland. Brian is warm, friendly, super knowledgeable, and just a lot of fun to talk to and learn from. We try to do walking tours in every city we visit, and this is the best one we've been on!
10/10!!— Absolutely the best part of our trip! Do not miss the chance to see Galway with Brian, he is incredible, with so much history and so many fun details to share— and really brilliant at guiding you towards the best way to maximize your experience of this amazing area! Really cannot say enough good things about him — so much fun and such a great way to discover Galway!
My wife and I spent a long weekend in Galway, however we thought what better way to get the most out of the fantastic city than book a guided tour by someone who’s local. Contacted Brian through FB and all communication then on was superb. The meet was arranged outside O’Connells(in-fact, went back there for a pint in the evening) and was delighted to meet Brian and the small group that would be on the tour. Spent the morning covering the sites and history of Galway and plenty of time to stop and ask questions. Unscripted, no clip board, Brian is extremely knowledgeable, very engaging and very humorous! Definitely worth putting one of Brian’s tours on your itinerary if ever in Galway. His impromptu Taxi service was first class(for two Londoners who had no sense of direction)
We had an amazing walking tour w Brian today! He is very knowledgeable and passionate about all things Galway. Engaging and funny, too! We could have spent all day w him. Highly recommend!!
Our tour with Brian was excellent. We learned a great deal of history about Galway and Ireland. Brian was also an excellent guide and his stories were thrilling, interesting, and we could not get enough of his lively spirit!
