We met Fiona just after getting off our overnight flight and were yawning and dazed, but she was great. The walking tour woke us up and gave an interesting overview to the history of Ireland and Galway and even suggested a great bakery with a turf fire and the best hot chocolate ever so we could warm up afterwards.

Fiona was gracious to meet only me and my husband with a couple of hours notice. She was a wealth of information and stories. I learned quite a bit! The history of this city is truly amazing! It was nicely paced and she offered many suggestions of places to explore after our tour was over - from the best place... More

Fiona very graciously agreed to meet only me for a walk about the city. It was like taking a walk with one of my girlfriends from home-- except she was very informative and knowledgable. We saw historical places and beautiful scenery. She gave me advice about how to get to my next destination. We had a beautiful afternoon for walking.... More

The Galway walking tour with Fiona was funny, lighthearted and very informative. We were part of a Dublin bus tour and truly enjoyed our "walk about" in the city of Galway.She knew many tidbits of the city that we would have never discovered on our own. From medieval information about the early castle walls to the current information about the... More

We were staying in Bunratty and I didn't want to drive all the way into Galway...so...I drove up the M8 motorway to exit 16 and parked my car in the car park of the town of GORT. Here you can take the train directly into Galway. Liam spent... More

Fiona give us a very informative and personal view of Galway, a great little City for a walking tour. And then she went well beyond that to help my wife and her family make a connection with relatives in Galway that they had not had contact with since their grandfather left for America more than 100 years ago! You can't... More

We so enjoyed our hour and a half tour of Galway. Fiona showed us many sights we would have missed and shared her vast knowledge of the history of Galway. It was a wonderful introduction to this vivid city. Highly recommend her!

We arranged a time to suit ourselves and took a leisurely stroll through the city soaking in the history and wonderful sights Galway has to offer. Fiona did not disappoint us in any way, she was very knowledgeable and experienced in and around the city often greeting friends along... More
