You step off Shop Street and the city meets you: warm soda bread at your side, a north Atlantic breeze tugging at your jacket, and the low hum of buskers threading through narrow lanes. For the next 2.5 hours the tour moves at a measured city-walk pace—past painted storefronts, into small cafes, and around the curve of the Corrib where the river dares you to follow its current toward the sea.
