Walk Galway's Story: A Guided Historic Adventure
I'm a dedicated tour guide based in Galway. Originally from the Celtic region of Galicia, Spain. With a background in linguistics and a love for languages and cultures, I turned my talent for travel into my profession. My tours are all about uncovering hidden gems, sharing quirky tales, and showing you the city with the kind of energy only a true enthusiast can bring.

Please meet me just outside the main entrance doors of Saint Nicholas' Collegiate Church. I'll be holding a white sign that says 'Candela's Guided Tours'. I always aim to be there right on time, but occasionally I might be finishing another tour just beforehand. If you don't see me exactly at the start time, please don't worry at all – I'll be there in two minutes!
