Galway Private Tours

Galway is a compact harbour city on the Corrib, and the natural base before heading into Connemara or the Aran Islands. You wander Shop Street’s buskers and pubs, eat oysters and seafood chowder near the Spanish Arch, then walk the promenade to Salthill and kick the wall. The city fills for the Arts Festival in July and the oyster festival in September; quieter shoulder months suit you better if you want a table without queueing.
