Caherconnel is fantastic. A must go spot for anybody touring the Burren. The dogs are so smart and the show is informative, funny and outstanding.The stone fort is probably the best specimen in Ireland.

Great tour/tour guide in Galway
My hubs and I loved this tour and the tour guide ! Gerry really went out of his way to show us various neighborhoods (this was a walking/eating tour) and their history. He made a point of taking to have traditional Irish food . I have to be honest the seafood chowder at Busker's is Delicious (please go there)! I would absolutely recommend taking a tour with Gerry..he's wonderful !!

Go on this tour! Candela was lovely and personable. She was a fabulous storyteller. I enjoyed learning about the city of Galway while visiting so many beautiful places. I definitely feel like there is something for everyone on this tour and would recommend it for the scenery alone, though I learned a lot. Even about druids I studied in the past. Its a great way to get the layout of the city and learn the mythology. Who knows, you may even see a selkie!

Brain stimulating and tasty tour!
Our Tour Guide Jason, who is a fluent Irish speaker and historian was great. Who would have guessed fun facts, history, wild guesses to keep us engaged, food and drink could meld onto such a brain stimulating and tasty tour! A couple of people had been looking for a kiosk ti start at as is wrongly put on some 3rd party sites. Worth it. Thanks Jason Ps I didn't let the monkey out of the bag either.

Great Tour with Arthur!
Arthur was amazing! He met us at our hotel lobby and gave us a brief current history of Galway before starting our tour! He was born and raised here and had incredible personal stories that tied in with the community. Arthur was thoughtful, kind, and knowledgeable. He took his time with the tour and made sure all our questions were answered! We would recommend him to everyone!
