And we can’t wait to come back to Dublin to repeat the visit to the places that Lisa showed us (well, we did the Irish coffee again, I must confess).”

10.Tour & Taste Galway Food Tour

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 63 reviews · 3 hours (approx.) · from $114

Taste Galway through seafood chowder, Irish dishes, ice cream, and pub drinks while walking the city with local guide Gerry.

“Our time with Gerry was grand. We met up with him and he took us to some fun and quaint locations. Some of these spots were places we had considered going on our own. The food was great as was the conversation at the table. While walking off the calories, Gerry gave us some history of places we passed. An overall great way to spend the afternoon. I will consider an earlier time to start if possible as the 2:30 tour is right between lunch and dinner. We made due however. The food we ate set us up for a great Happy Hour at the end of the tour. Thanks…”
