Ultan O Reilly

Based in Galway
Galway

Most tours in Galway walk you around for an hour and read you dates off a wall. That’s not what this is. My name is Ultan. I’m from Mayo, I’ve lived in Galway for six years, and I left a full-time job to do this because I’m a people person and this is what I love. Simple as that. Stroll to the Stout is built around one idea, the best way to understand a place is to do what the locals do. Pour a pint. Hear some trad. Watch the GAA. Talk to someone who actually lives here. The pint you pour yourself. The Polaroid you take home. The GAA. None of it is manufactured for tourists. It’s just Galway. Fáilte Ireland accredited, ITOA approved, and the only operator on the west coast of Ireland doing this. No headsets. No scripts. No passive afternoons.
