Review of Galway City Walking Tour with Gary Casey, covering historic sights, local stories, price, timing, route, and practical booking advice.

“Gary was the guide for our Galway walking tour. This was an extremely informative tour in the brief amount of time we had together. I wish we could have spent more time, as I'm sure there was more to see and learn about. But Gary made it a great experience and we had a fun time learning as well! Highly recommend this!!”
