With the Arts Festival in full swing and the Galway Races kicking in next week, Galway has truly reached high season! We had an extended family group from Pasadena with us this morning, here on a golfing trip. The Galway Walking tours are about connection to the stories of the area and to the guests we host.

If you have, indeed, taken one of our tours in the past, we'd love you to leave us a review at following TripAdvisor link.
