Jerry makes you feel like a local!
For fans of The Quiet Man, this walking tour is a must! My husband and our boyhood friends Randy and his wife Debbie and I took the tour with Jerry. It was wonderful and so much fun, entertaining and interesting. Jerry recruited our friend Randy to reenact the classic dying man scene. He had Randy jump up, wave his hands and yell “where’s the fight?” right on the street completely surprising some unsuspecting passersby. We are still chuckling about it! Our husbands actually hadn’t seen the film before the tour, but Jerry’s incredible storytelling completely won them over and both of them are now ready for us to find the movie and make a big movie night out of it back home. What makes the experience even more special is Jerry. He seems to know everyone in Cong, and as we walked through the streets, he engaged all the locals, making us feel like welcome insiders instead of just tourists. Thank you, Jerry, for the wonderful memories and the fantastic craic.

Interesting tour - I...
Interesting tour - I think if you have seen the film you will get more out of the tour. The museum at the end of the tour was full of memorabilia and items used in the film. The gift shop had lovely items to purchase.

Why this scores 79
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Walking Tour of The Quiet Man Film Locations in Cong: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Galway.
How much does Walking Tour of The Quiet Man Film Locations in Cong cost?
+
Prices start at $29 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 Walking Tour of The Quiet Man Film Locations in Cong take?
+
Plan for about 1 hour 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 Walking Tour of The Quiet Man Film Locations in Cong worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 79 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 96 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 Walking Tour of The Quiet Man Film Locations in Cong?
+
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 Walking Tour of The Quiet Man Film Locations in Cong suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 1-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Walking Tour of The Quiet Man Film Locations in Cong?
+
Around 34 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 1-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Walking Tour of The Quiet Man Film Locations in Cong 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.
