Minimum booking is two people; private tours are available on request.Is it for me?The tour is a steady 3.5-hour walk through medieval streets with stops to eat and drink, so it suits someone who enjoys moving through a city on foot and doesn't mind a full afternoon of tasting rather than sitting down for a single meal. If you want to understand Galway's history through what locals actually eat and drink, rather than a lecture about it, this is the shape that makes that possible.Free cancellationKids −47%from€ 95View ›

Galway Food & Drink Tasting Tour: Gin, Cheese, Beer★★★★★★★★★★ 5.00 (3)2h 20mA guided tasting tour through Galway starting at Eyre Square, visiting three venues where you taste gin and food, Irish cheeses with wine, and craft beers or whiskey in a historic pub. The guide introduces Galway's history using the square's monuments, then leads you past medieval tower houses, a 14th-century church, and the city market on the way to each stop. Maximum 12 people, around 2 hours.Is it for me?You walk the whole route and taste at each stop, so this suits anyone who wants to move through the city and try things rather than sit in one place. The small group size and steady pace work well if you prefer a guide who can answer questions and adapt to the group, rather than a large tour rushing through.Free cancellationfrom€ 99View ›
