Itinerary
Your tour begins at Seattle Stone on Quay Lane
Meet your local guide at Seattle Stone on Quay Lane, just steps from the Spanish Arch in Galway's medieval core. Bring an appetite! Full portions and craft beer wait across four locally owned venues.
Stroll the medieval streets of Galway's Latin Quarter
Wander cobblestone lanes through Galway's Latin Quarter, where 16th-century stone arches and university-town buzz fill the air. Listen as your guide tells tales of merchants, monks, and the city's seafaring past.
Settle in at a family-run traditional pub
Step inside a beloved Galway pub run by the same family for over 60 years. Tuck into a hearty Irish plate of bacon and cabbage, mussels, stew, or smoked salmon. Sip a pint of local craft beer alongside.
Wander past Galway Market and St. Nicholas' Collegiate Church
Pass the bustling stalls of Galway Market and the medieval walls of St. Nicholas' Collegiate Church, founded in 1320. Hear how locals have traded fish, bread, and produce in this same spot for over 700 years.
Eat in a 17th-century pub room
Settle into a 17th-century pub interior built when Galway was a thriving merchant port. Enjoy a second generous plate of traditional Irish food and another local craft beer in a stone-walled room steeped in history.
Sample artisan Irish ice cream with unusual flavors
Treat yourself at one of Ireland's most loved ice cream shops, famous for unusual scoops like sea salt, brown bread, and elderflower. Each one is hand-churned in small batches using fresh dairy from nearby Irish farms.
Cross the Eglinton Canal into Galway's Westend
Walk over the Eglinton Canal, a 19th-century waterway that links the River Corrib to the sea. On the far bank, you'll reach Galway's Westend, a bohemian neighborhood of indie shops, music pubs, and sea air.
Sip Irish coffee in a late-19th-century pub
Finish at a late-19th-century pub on Galway's Westend, where the Irish coffee tradition feels right at home. Watch as your barista layers hot, whiskey-spiked coffee beneath a thick float of softly whipped fresh cream.
Your tour ends at Seattle Stone on Quay Lane
Your guide walks you back along the River Corrib to Seattle Stone on Quay Lane, where the tour began. Head off well fed, with local restaurant tips, pub recommendations, and a fuller picture of Galway.
