Overview

From John Wayne to JFK and from Julia Roberts to Queen Victoria people have fallen in love wearing a Claddagh ring.

Over the years it has become a symbol of Irish identity recognised all around the world. It speaks of eternal life, but can also have a darker side too.

The Claddagh tour is unique in offering an in-depth exploration of the tales and traditions surrounding the Claddagh ring and relates it to the village from which it sprang.

The relaxed pace walk takes in several of Galway's neighbourhood and includes a stop at a great cafe on the way.

The tour is also unique in offering a ring included in the price of the tour (terms and conditions apply).

With many satisfied customers over the years we are now delighted to offer the tour on the Viator platform for you to book.

We look forward to meeting our new guests this year.

Activity itinerary

Galway City Museum
  • 30m
The museum starting point means we can get a great view over the city, especially the Claddagh area that we will be exploring. The museum also contains the world's oldest claddagh a ring and a rather strange artefact created by the probable orginator of the Claddgh ring.
River Corrib
  • 15m
We begin our stroll over to the Claddagh around the river area. Here we can take in the glorious views of the long walk and here some of the superstitions and traditions of the people of the Claddagh. Hopefully we will also be able to take a look at an example of a traditional 'hooker' boat floating on Europe's most powerful river.
Claddagh Arts Centre
  • 15m
  • Admission ticket not included
Next up we have a look at a typical example of a Claddagh cottage, to say that it's 'pretty' or 'quaint' doesn't really do it justice. Red doors, thatched roof and possibly the King's cat hanging around...it's perfect! It may be a re-creation but it makes it much easier to imagine the scene some 100 years ago or more. Please note: The property allow entry to the exterior but the inside is usually only open for special events.
Eglinton Canal
  • 30m
Leaving the Claddgh we take a wonder through the 'West' of Galway. This authentic and genuine area is home to some great cafes. We will stop off in one and grab a tea or coffee and maybe a cookie or scone (all included of course)
The Legend of the Claddagh Ring
  • 15m
Returning to the bustling centre of Galway we take in a few places that remind of us of both some of the more mythological stories surrounding the ring. We can also relate how some of the world's 'A-list' celebrities have embraced wearing the claddagh ring...from John Wayne to Princess grace and from JFK to Julia Roberts...and not forgetting a certain vampire...all will be revealed
Quay Street
  • 15m
Our last stop is the relaxed surroundings of our Claddagh ring shop 'Heart in hand'. The tour entitles you to a ring from the range provided by the Foxford Jewellery Company. An extra payment is required only in one of the following circumstances: a) If your desired ring (or other product) is not from the offered range. In such case a 30 euro discount will be honoured. b) If your hand size fall outside the standard range of sizes available c) If you request a 'male type' Claddagh ring
