Sean Leonard was a wonderful guide through Galway. He is alive with enthusiasm for history and the stories of human weakness and strength, all in the context of great humor. There is no substitute for learning from a teacher in love with his subject matter (and Sean's full-time profession is teaching). Sean brings genuine personal passion for his subject, always... More

We're still in Galway, but I couldn't wait till we got home to praise the Galway on Foot tour we took upon arriving in the city. Sean is the perfect guide, knowledgeable, full of colorful stories about the city's past, and a delightful person to walk the streets and alleyways of Galway with. My wife and I enjoyed our time...

Sean did an awesome job with our tour. He knew the history and was able to connect everything we saw. He was also very fun to walk around with. I would definitely try to do this tour if you have a free hour in Galway. More

In organizing a booking for a small group, Sean was very open about what is included on the tour and was extremely flexible in accommodating us. Having never been to Galway, I wanted a way to familiarize myself with the city, but also get some background on it. He is so enthusiastic about what he is talking about and he... More

Sean did a fantastic job teaching all we needed to know about Galway- past and present. He provided great perspective and humor at every sight. Whether you have one day or many days in Galway, I'd encourage everyone to contact Sean upon arrival. More

We were lucky enough to have Gierod take us on a walking tour of Galway. Admittedly I wasn't looking forward to it as I was hobbling injured but I soon forgot the pain in my ankle, and was amazed that our gentle pace around Galways stretched for 2hrs. Galway's an amazing city, and probably one of the best places I've... More
