Activity itinerary

National University of Ireland-Galway (UCG)

Our tour begins with the majestic Quadrangle, one of Galway's most iconic building. Here, we'll uncover fascinating tales literally carved in its stone, before venturing into the more mysterious: scary rumours of monsters and fairies lingering deep within Irish forests. You'll not only learn how to protect yourselves from these mischievous beings but also how to foster friendship with the elusive Good Folk.

Galway Cathedral

Ireland’s largest stone church: exquisitely built from rare, precious materials, and rich with stories in every carved detail.

River Corrib

We will walk through the Sound Trail, hear the origin myth of Galway and spot swans and hopefully cranes and kingfishers

Galway's Westend (Pass by)

This is a truly authentic Galway spot, where the scent of diverse cuisines blends with the lively, magical hum of traditional music from cosy pubs. We'll share our top recommendations and local insights to help you craft the perfect evening plans here!

Claddagh

Our journey continues to Claddagh Quay, where a magnificent, wide view of Galway Bay unfolds before us. Here, we'll discover the Bay's deep Celtic and Anglo-Norman roots, get a perfect peek at the river mouth, and might even spot some friendly seals and playful dolphins before we delve into enchanting tales of ancient shapeshifters from the sea and the romantic origins of the Claddagh Ring.

The Spanish Arch

The tour will end at the Spanish Arch, one of Galway’s most iconic landmarks and the perfect spot to wrap up with a final photo!
