Galway 2026 Calendar of Events

Wonderful scenery, joyous gardens, engaging driver. Would highly recommend this tour of Connemara…..

An absolutely fantastic and safe trip with my husband to see the Cliffs of Moher. Our tour guide Mark was fantastic. He shared stories of Ireland along the way which made everything much more enjoyable. We had to grab a train back to Dublin later that afternoon so we loved having the option of a half day/morning tour. He got us back plenty of time to grab lunch in Galway and catch our 3pm train. Highly recommend!

Richie Forde was our driver/guide and he was exceptional. From the moment he picked us up, he was informative, friendly, knowledgeable, kind, looked after us in every way , answered all our questions and made the day one of our best in Ireland. The day was full, and we saw and did everything one could fit into a tour day. We even got Richie to ride an e-bike which he had never done but did so we could see the whole of the island in the time slotted. We can’t say enough good things or thank Richie enough for a wonderful day!

Great tour that combined the City’s history and the city’s typical food culture. Jason was an enthusiastic guide who was very knowledgeable and personable. Discussions were interactive and included all the attendee's. This tour accommodates food allergies which was appreciated.

Shaun was friendly and informative. He knew the history of the town and a strong voice. OTHER agency’s use annoying microphones.. HIGHLY recommend this tour.

We had a lovely day exploring the Irish countryside. Our guide Tommy was delightful and knowledgeable. Highly recommended!

Sean, our guide was quite entertaining and a great host to show us his Galway. Welcomed us with a 100,000 blessings and we had a ‘craic’ time. Thank you for the history and the anecdotes and the ‘Baby Guinness’ ! It was delicious!Mario and Eleni (Australia)

Candela is a fantastic guide. Great storyteller and deep knowledge in history of the area and languages. Good storyteller and the iPad visuals were a nice addition. Definitely recommend taking this tour if you are in Galway.

The tour was exceptional!!! The Gardens and the castle is something we are so glad we got to see and walk through!!! A True Love Story!!! Joe Joyce and his border collies on the sheep farm are great!!! It was a great experience to watch the dogs at work while they collected the sheep from the mountain side at Joes whistle commands!!! Our tour guide, Michael, was great !!! Very knowledgeable and personable!!! Thank you Lally Tours and Michael

This tour was simply awesome. Our guide Brian was stellar. He shared history, anecdotes and was truly an expert. He was funny and poignant and a true joy to spend the day with. It did not hurt that he spent a few years in Boston where we are from.The Cliffs are stunning in their own right and seeing the Aran Islands at the same time was a bonus and would highly recommend doing both. This was a small group offering and it was more intimate and conversational throughout the day.Brian set the gold standard for a guide and my husband, and I have been on many tours traveling and Brian's energy and passion about Ireland really shone through.

Owen, our guide was great. He was extremely knowledgeable and shared so much history and anecdotal information. Kylemore Abbey was stunning. Meeting the sheep dogs and their owner and seeing how they work in a live demo was amazing. There were also 5 day old puppies the day we arrived which we could cuddle and were absolutely amazing. The owner shared the joys and challenges of maintaining sheep on the hills which was interesting and provided a glimpse into a centuries old tradition. Highly recommend the tours and the small group format made it more intimate and encouraged lots of questions.

It was an amazing tour. David was outstanding!

Fortunate to have a beautiful, clear day for this trip. Our tour guide Alan was informative and knowledgeable. Comfortable bus, welcome ferry ride.

Patrick was our tour guide and he was wonderful! He was funny, had great recommendations and really cared about us having a great time on the tour. Unfortunately, we couldn’t cruise underneath the Cliffs of Moher but that was because of how high the waves were which makes sense. Even the ride back that day from the island was a little choppy - totally not within anyone’s control. Patrick helped everyone around on the island, in figuring out what kind of a tour we each wanted and to tailor it to our own experience. We did the mini tour bus on the island, it’s about 15 euros but we got to see the shipwreck and the castle up top - and hear about it all, which was super cool!

We had a wonderful time, the driver was fantastic

Great experience! The 8am tour was fantastic because the Cliffs were a lot less busy than when we left at 11:30. Super easy and our bus driver was awesome.
