Overview

This is the only mythology-focused walking tour in Galway, crafted with care, folklore, and great fun!

Galway is a city of stories, and on this Celtic folklore tour, we’ll follow the path of Ireland’s legendary storytellers.

We’ll explore the ancient pagan world, where druids, bards, and wise women shaped belief and identity through sacred ceremonies and oral knowledge, wisdom that still echoes in Irish traditions today.

Step into the world of faeries and the Otherworld. These aren’t your fairy tale sprites, they’re the mysterious Aos Sí, feared and revered in equal measure.

Hear the stories of the ancient Gods and Goddesses, still whispered by the river and echoed by the ruins…

Activity itinerary

Galway Cathedral

Find me at the start of the pedestrian bridge, just across from the main entrance of Galway Cathedral. I'll be easy to spot: I'll have a white sign, or perhaps an umbrella! Trust me, in Galway, that's a sure way to catch your eye.
National University of Ireland-Galway (UCG)
  • 15m
Our tour culminates at the majestic Quadrangle, the University of Galway's oldest and most iconic building. Here, we'll uncover fascinating tales literally carved in its stone, before venturing into the more mysterious: scary rumors of monsters and fairies lingering deep within Irish forests. You'll not only learn how to protect yourselves from these mischievous beings but also how to foster friendship with the elusive Good Folk.
River Corrib
  • 15m
Our walk along the captivating canal of the River Corrib begins at Wolftone Bridge, leading us north to the iconic Salmon Weir Bridge. From here, we're almost back at the magnificent Galway Cathedral, before veering into the vibrant, leafy grounds of the University campus.
Galway's Westend (Pass by)
This is a truly authentic Galway spot, where the scent of diverse cuisines blends with the lively, magical hum of traditional music from cozy pubs. We'll share our top recommendations and local insights to help you craft the perfect evening plans here!
Claddagh
  • 15m
Our journey continues to Claddagh Quay, where a magnificent, wide view of Galway Bay unfolds before us. Here, we'll discover the Bay's deep Celtic and Anglo-Norman roots, get a perfect peek at the river mouth, and might even spot some friendly seals and playful dolphins before we delve into enchanting tales of ancient shapeshifters from the sea and the romantic origins of the Claddagh Ring.
The Spanish Arch

The tour will end at the Spanish Arch, one of Galway’s most iconic landmarks and the perfect spot to wrap up with a final photo!
