Story Galway 90 Minute Walking Tour
Overview
Growing up in Galway has given me an intimate knowledge of the rich and vibrant history of the jewel of the west, Galway.
Much like the strong currents of the River Corrib that run through it, the stories and tales of its inhabitants have flowed through my life. A family heritage of storytelling imbued me with a love for imparting a good yarn.
These tours will have the history, the lore and the origins of Galway’s unique culture, from a true native Galwegian!
My walking tours draw from 20 years involvement in theatre, storytelling and music. My guided jaunts around Galway are the perfect marriage of all these aspects of my life. It will become abundantly clear the joy it provides me and I aim to share this joy with my customers.
If it’s the culinary delights of Galway, its medieval history, its lesser known stories or the rich musical and artistic heritage of the city you seek to learn about, I would be privileged to guide you along the way.
