Walk Tours in Galway

The western-most city in Ireland, has been welcoming strangers for over a thousand years. Galway City, or Cathair na Gaillimhe in Gaelic, means 'stony river', but is often mis-translated as the ‘place of the strangers’. 'Strangers', an old Irish proverb says, 'are friends you haven't met yet! Today, Galway is one of the most popular destinations in Ireland for tourists who love this vibrant, thriving city with its rich and diverse cultural, historic, artistic and musical heritage.

 

A walking tour is a great way to discover the rich history and cultural heritage of Galway city, and the good thing about Galway is that it’s fairly compact and easy enough to get around on foot. Whether you choose to go with a tour company or make your own way around the cobblestone streets, it’s a great way of being part of the hustle and bustle.

 

The advantage of going on your own steam is you can stop and start as you please without feeling you are delaying the group. However a tour company would have the advantage of a guide to answer those “burning questions”, and also to add their personal touch with in-depth local knowledge.  Do not forget a good Galway map if you’re opting for a self-guided tour of the city.
