A few words on Galway
Galway
Galway, often referred to as the City of the Tribes, boasts a rich and vibrant history that has shaped it into the cultural hub it is today. Founded in the 12th century around a fortification by the King of Connacht, the city has evolved from a strategic military outpost to a flourishing trading port, and finally to a popular tourist destination.

This tour was such a great way to see the city. The stories were interesting without feeling too scripted, and I loved being able to explore at my own pace.

This was a solid way to get to know Brighton without feeling like a tourist. The narration had depth and context, but didn't overdo it.
