5.00We have a new appreciation for the history of this ancient city thanks to the incredible knowledge of our guide: Marteen Lane! From the stories of the 14 tribes, to the Lynch Castle, to Kings Head Inn and finally the Spanish Gate, Marteen enriched us with tales that brought these landmarks to life! Her passion for the history of Galway was clearly evident throughout the walking tour. We met her as a guide and left her as a friend. We highly recommend this tour!
Don’t miss the Medieval Tour with Martine!

5.00Martine was fantastic! We never would have found these fascinating sites on our own. Nor would we have been able to learn so much about history, archaeology, and Galway. She was crisp, clear, friendly, and full of knowledge and insight. We had many questions and she was able to answer each of them. In depth. The tour went 45 minutes over the alotted time to our delight. We cannot recommend this tour, given by Martine, enough. The highlight of our Galway visit.
Very sympathetic.

5.00Went out with an umbrella under an Irish rain treat. Warm welcome that made the inconvenience immediately forgotten. Small company and therefore plenty of time to ask questions and get answers. Marteen was very friendly and knowledgeable; among other things, my linguistic interest was satisfied with many facts about old Irish. The tour was not long but varied. You end up in the most beautiful place in Galway.
Do not miss!

She was patient and accommodating with all of our questions and and was an absolute delight! Can not recommend this trip any higher! 10/5 stars!
