 Verified Don’t miss this walk. What a great tour. We learned some interesting history about the town of Westport. We had some fabulous snacks from local vendors that were unique and some were award winning. Pace was great and didn’t have to really walk too far. Appreciated not getting overloaded with dates and history. Learned about good restaurants and pubs. We did a walking tour in Dublin and this one in Westport was far superior.

 Verified Humor & History This was the best walking tour I've been on. Stephen combined humor with his facts and didn't just throw out dates. This little town has interesting history and truly defines community. Stephen did an excellent job of relaying both of these to the participants of this tour

 Verified A Necessary Part of your Westport Visit! Such a wonderful tour of a fabulous town! I was in town from the US to visit relatives. My whole life, I've heard stories of Westport, but I learned so much more from this tour! Our guide, Ed, was knowledgeable and energetic. The tour stops give a nice variety of info about the culture and history of Westport. When you visit Westport, you must have a drink at Matt Malloy's, see Croagh Patrick, and take the Westport Walking Tour!

 Verified A Must Do Experience in Westport Myself and four colleagues recently had the pleasure of taking a walking tour of Westport with Stephen, and it was truly one of the highlights of our day! From the very beginning, Stephen was warm, welcoming, and exceptionally knowledgeable. His understanding of the history of Westport was impressive, and he shared stories and insights that really brought the town to life. The tour was thoughtfully paced and engaging throughout, with plenty of opportunities to ask questions. In addition to the historical aspects, Stephen provided fantastic recommendations for local shops, restaurants, cafés, and art galleries that are well worth a visit. His genuine passion for the area was evident, and it made the experience all the more enjoyable. I would highly recommend this walking tour to anyone visiting Westport and would absolutely suggest booking with Stephen and Aisling. It was an informative, enjoyable, and memorable experience from start to finish.
