Walk Galway’s medieval streets with a local guide, then eat and drink across four stops, including a traditional pub, in about 3 hours.
“Our tour guide, Gerry was fun and informative. He told us a lot of fun facts about Galway. The tour itself was not what we expected. We do a food tour in every country we visit and it has always been tapas at 4-5 stops. This one was different. We did make 4 stops, but they inclusively made one meal. The first stop included a big bowl of seafood chowder. The second stop was a full sized meal. The third stop was a dish of ice cream, and the fourth stop was an Irish coffee. The tour wasn't bad, it just wasn't what I expected.”
Oyster farm tasting in Clifden, Connemara: meet oyster farmers, see seed-to-plate work, learn shucking, and taste with ocean views.
“What an awesome experience! We learned so much about oyster farming with some beautiful views. The tasting was of course the jewel of the entire experience. The oysters were absolutely delicious and we each got to try about 5-6. Highly recommend! Sinead was the best tour guide! Thank you for a really fun experience!”
Guided Inish Mór highlights, stone forts, monastic ruins, seals, and a working goat farm cheese tasting, with easy transfers for small groups.
“This excursion was a wonderful way to learn about the culture and history of the Aran islands. Unfortunately, our excursion was cut down by an hour due to the ferry schedule and we did not get to go to the goat farm but Daniel was very gracious and gave us some of the products made on his farm to take with us. He was a wonderful guide and it was our favorite experience in Ireland.”
