We had an amazing time learning about oysters and all sorts of local marine life including crabs, starfish, lobsters, sponges... it was really great! We learned how to properly shuck oysters; Gerry was extremely informative and generous. We definitely recommend this experience to everyone. PS: watch out for the lobster, she’s very protective of her space (or prob just wants to make new friends) ;)

Fantastic tour with Sheena - intricate knowledge of 'hidden' Galway, and of the foodie treasures that lie beneath the surface. Catered beautifully for gluten-free and shellfish allergies too. A delicious taste of what Galway has to offer! (I also had my 9 month old daughter with me and this was not a problem either.)

This is an intimate tour with a local. The idea is to relay all information in a fun manner and to leave visitors with a very good experience, not just the bare facts. Galway is a vibrant, fun and energetic city and our tours will reflect that energy. Each tour is as new an experience for the guide as the visitor. No two tours are ever the same. That is what makes Athas Tours so unique.

I would advise anyone visiting Belmullet Co Mayo to take the tour of the town with Neal Doherty. Neal is a mine of knowledge on the history of Belmullet and well worth the experience. His tour starts in the centre of town (outside the Bank of Ireland) and takes in all places of interest in this beautiful town. Very reasonably priced too.
