Galway Tour of Companies

This morning we visited the bus company and our Irish partner Donoghues of Galway. The company offers coaches and tours as well as chaffeur services. There is a wide range of offers, so you can travel with a large group or very privately. Since the family business was founded in 1966, it has been in the business for almost 60 years and offers trips of the best quality. Trips are mainly booked through tour operators, but you can also book directly with Donohuges and take a tour through beautiful Ireland. This company also ran our day trip by bus last Friday when we visited Diamond Hill and Kylemore Abbey. It was very interesting to take a look behind the scenes here.

After our return from Donoghues, a friendly hotel staff took us on a tour through the g Hotel & Spa, a five-star hotel in Galway.
She explained that the hotel draws great inspiration from fashion, and was partly designed by milliner Phillip Treacy. The lounges and dining spaces each offer a unique design for a luxurious dining experience. There are seven room categories from Superior Rooms to an exclusive Penthouse suite. The spa is Galway's only five-star spa, where guests can relax in one of twelve treatment rooms.
The hotel's event facilities offer space for up to 300 guests and can be individually decorated to cater to the guests' preferences. The g Hotel hosts around 40 weddings a year. Our hotel tour guide explained that traditionally, Irish weddings draw much from Catholicism, while the weddings at their hotel often feature non-traditional elements such as an all-black décor.

In the evening we went to Taylors Bar as a group. The weekly quiz evening took place here, which is already a must for many Irish people. Here you competed as a team and had to enter the correct answer as quickly as possible using an app. There were questions about Ireland, but above all general knowledge and topics from all over the world. More than 50 teams took part and it was a very entertaining eveningLæs mere
