Summary: I did this tour on a weekend break in Galway and thoroughly enjoyed it all, Not only was I out and about in a safe environment but Karen opened my eyes to a new way of looking at the murals. We walked in a relaxed way and Karen is so well informed on all aspects of Galway's history, She told us a bit about the various artists which was fascinating and I now find that I am much more observant and appreciate the murals in other places too. I loved the vibrant colours and how each one was so different in content and theme, I would recommend this highly. Thank you Karen for a great morning - look forward to more of your walks!
