The legendary tour centers around the tale of the Lynch family. Its a fascinating tale of how Walter Lynch is accused and tried for the murder of a visiting Spaniard who was a little too interested in his beautiful wife to be...or was he ? The story ends in a dramatic climax...but you will have to take the tour for that finale ! We also look at the legend of the Claddagh ring with a tale connected to Caribbean pirates, North African slave owners and a gold ring that speaks of eternal love. Christopher Columbus makes his appearance too, looking for a new way to China, but worrying that Atlantis might stand in his way. These and other tales are woven together in a 80-90 minute walk through the city. Its taken at a gentle pace to bring in all the major places of interest and embed them into the story of our city. Other things to note Dont worry about it raining - we have plenty of places to hide out of the rain !

The Claddagh ring experience takes in some of the main sights of Galway with a visits to a Claddagh ring workshop and one of the more famous Claddagh ring jewellers. (NOTE: Visit to a maker is unavailable due to COVID 19 restrictions at the moment).After passing through the stunning Latin quarter and Spanish arch areas of Galway we see some of the works of Richard Joyce, the hero of the Claddagh ring legend and maker (probably) of the first Claddagh ring sold commercially. After few tales of the folklore of the Claddagh we head up into the village itself. In Katie's cottage, a re-built Claddagh cottage we can enjoy a coffee or tea and a cake (included) in authentic surroundings. Galway City is a compact city well suited to this leisurely stroll through a medieval, picturesque masterpiece. Other things to note The walking is very gentle, although the walk up to Katies cottage takes approx 10 mins. Those with reduced mobility may wish to book a taxi to return to town

We'll make a short quarter mile hike to the location of an old estate wall that was built by over 200 men during the hardship of the Irish potato Famine in 1847. Standing at almost 3 miles long and enclosing over 300 acres, this unique Famine landmark was commissioned by the kindly local landlord, to provide work for his starving tenants as their potato crop failed. They were paid a penny and a turnip a day for building the wall before many emigrated to North America shortly thereafter from ships leaving Galway Bay as the Famine worsened. Over the course of your 100% outdoors experience you will learn the stone building techniques required to restore this part of Ireland's heritage to its former glory. And in concurrence with Galway being designated as the European Capital of Culture 2020, this experience allows you to actively participate in saving a cultural reminder of the Famine from disappearing from the landscape. Afterwards, all participants are invited to sign the restoration ledger, that together with the section of wall you build, enables you to leave a lasting record of your efforts in restoring this part of Irish history, as well as leave your own lasting imprint on the Irish countryside...that will stand for centuries after you return home! Other things to note Dress for rainy weather just in case! You will be under the friendly supervision of my father and I. Taxi costs approx 35 euro from Galway. Buses leave regularly from the city to Claregalway which is nearby. The website www.getthere.ie gives times of all public transport all over Ireland.

The 10K run around the city will be at a gentle 1hour 10 min pace, but we may speed up or slow down to suit the small groups. PLEASE NOTE : I AM VERY HAPPY TO PROVIDE A RUN AT TIMES OTHER THAN THOSE LISTED...IM GOING TO RUN ANYWAY, SO EVEN IF YOU ARE BY YOURSELF...JUST DROP US A TEXT ON AIR BNB!

Note:(This listing is now for guided hiking, it was previously listed as a surf lesson with WSL) We will start our adventure on the coastal trail near to Doolin and walk south stopping for breaks and photo opportunities as we go! along the way I will point out some of the sea caves and blow holes where we like to dive in on flat summers days. The trail then climbs up towards Ail na searrch and the legendary big wave surf spot Aileens, one of the worlds most spectacular a scary surf spots. Next is on to the highest point on the cliffs at the famous O'Briens tower, named after the local landlord who first developed the cliffs as a tourist destination back in 1835. from here the trail is relatively easy to Hags head at the southern tip of the trail and look up at the magnificent view back along the cliffs and east into liscannor bay where the legendary lost city Kilstiffen is said to lay beneath the waves. From here I will shuttle the group back to the starting point in Doolin or anywhere else in the area. Full trail is 14km from start to finish the level of hiking is moderate with only two significant climbs. It takes between three and five hours depending on fitness and stops. I will coordinate each group and can shorten the hike if you do not want to do the full trail. check out my reviews and surfing experience @ ''learn to surf visit the cliffs'' on airbnb Other things to note Please please please contact me BEFORE booking! Times for hikes each day are variable depending on weather and season!
