What are people saying about Galway City Museum

No PhotoElectric Bike Tour of Galway City with Expert Local Guide
Anne_D, Oct 2023
Outstanding!
This was an amazing experience even though it rained, hard at times, the whole ride. Nonetheless it was so much fun riding around the area and learning more about Galway and Salthill. Alex was an excellent guide and great at instructing me on how to ride an eBike, a first for me. The smart helmets made communicating very easy and gave me a strong sense of security. I thoroughly enjoyed myself and highly recommend this tour.
