    Great tour/tour guide in Galway

    My hubs and I loved this tour and the tour guide ! Gerry really went out of his way to show us various neighborhoods (this was a walking/eating tour) and their history. He made a point of taking to have traditional Irish food . I have to be honest the seafood chowder at Busker's is Delicious (please go there)! I would absolutely recommend taking a tour with Gerry..he's wonderful !!

    Response from the operator: Thank you Valarie and William so much for your brilliant review. I am delighted you enjoyed the food tour and it was great to show you around Galway city. I hope you have a great time on the rest of your trip. Go raibh maith agat Thanks again. Gerry

    Our walking food tour...

    Our walking food tour with Gerry was fantastic. It seemed as though we were visiting a long lost cousin when we first met him. It was comfortable and easy. The places we went and the food we tasted were great. These were places that we would have missed being on our own. It was nice to have someone local and knowledgeable about the Galway scene to hang out with for a few hours. We highly recommend Gerry’s tour.

    Response from the operator: Thank you Kathleen for those very kind words. I'm delighted that yourself and Cris enjoyed the food tour. It was a fun afternoon in your company. Safe travels. Many thanks again Go raibh maith agat. Gerry

    Fantastic way to spend an afternoon in Galway!

    Absolutely enjoyed this experience! Our guide Gerry was extremely knowledgeable about the area and we got lots of stories and information about the places we visited and walked past. The food was delicious. Gerry was also very personable and it was easy to ask questions. There was only one other couple with us on the tour which for me made it better. There is a fair bit of walking involved but it’s all pretty flat and slow paced. Would definitely recommend this experience!

    Response from the operator: Many thanks Donna for leaving should a great review. I `m so glad yourself and Rob enjoyed the food tour. I had a great time in your company and safe onward travels. Thanks again Go raibh maith agat. Gerry

    Good combination of history and casual exploration, and the food was excellent. Thank you, Gerry. We had a great time.

    Response from the operator: Many thanks Isabel and Ryan for taking the time to leave your great review. I thoroughly enjoyed your company and delighted you enjoyed the food tour. Have a brilliant time on the rest of your trip. Go raibh maith agat! Gerry

    Tour & Taste Galway Food Tour: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Galway.

    How much does Tour & Taste Galway Food Tour cost?

    +

    Prices start at $108 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Galway usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does Tour & Taste Galway Food Tour take?

    +

    Plan for about 3 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Galway is not rushed.

    Is Tour & Taste Galway Food Tour worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 78 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 77 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Galway, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Tour & Taste Galway Food Tour?

    +

    Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

    Is Tour & Taste Galway Food Tour suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 3-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Tour & Taste Galway Food Tour?

    +

    Around 27 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Galway can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

    What should I bring or wear?

    +

    Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Galway and add a light layer if any part of the 3-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Tour & Taste Galway Food Tour start and how do I get there?

    +

    The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Galway within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

    What are the best things to do in Galway?

    +

    On Outty we rank every Galway experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Cliffs of Moher & the Burren Tour from Galway, Galway to Aran Islands Inisheer, Doolin, Cliffs of Moher Day Tour, Galway to Cliffs of Moher, Aillwee Cave & Dunguaire Castle Tour. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

    When is the best time to visit Galway?

    +

    Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

    How many days do you need in Galway?

    +

    Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

    Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

    +

    Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.

    What is included in Tour & Taste Galway Food Tour?

    +

    Included: Alcoholic beverages; Small - group walking tour; Lunch; and Local Guide. Not included: Gratuities. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    Where is the meeting point for Tour & Taste Galway Food Tour?

    +

    The meeting up point for your food tour is outside Weavers of Ireland or beside Cobwebs Jewelers on Quay Lane, which is a left turn at the end of Quay St. Hotel pickup is not included, so plan your own transport and arrive 15 minutes early.

    What languages is Tour & Taste Galway Food Tour offered in?

    +

    It runs in English. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.

    Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for Tour & Taste Galway Food Tour?

    +
