This is an intimate tour with a local. The idea is to relay all information in a fun manner and to leave visitors with a very good experience, not just the bare facts. Galway is a vibrant, fun and energetic city and our tours will reflect that energy.
Each tour is as new an experience for the guide as the visitor. No two tours are ever the same. That is what makes Athas Tours so unique.

We truly enjoyed our guide Gary! He was extremely knowledgeable about the history of his hometown Galway. I particularly enjoyed the history of the Claddash ring. I highly recommend this walking tour and Gary.
