Kay is a Galway native, passionate about the history of Galway City. She enjoys sharing her love of the city with groups, bringing them along the historical streets and sites.
The walking tour starts in the centre of Galway's Eyre Square and continues along the lively city streets, stopping off to gain insight into the cultural and historical significance of some key sites, and concludes at the iconic Spanish Arch. The short 90 minutes tour gives an overview of the city and highlights areas that are worth revisiting at a later stage.
