Hmm Galway looks busier than I expected. Those lattes look delicious. We love trying the cafe cultures where we go. Just finished a series in Greece and the coffee was amazing. We are excited for Iceland coffee. How beautiful is that river! What a huge cathedral. Very pretty.. lovely day for a Guinness. That folk band was pretty fun too. Cheers!

Brilliant video of Galway. You went to all the best places and made everything look so good. I was brought up in Galway and of course l love it. Its a vibrant colourful place. Dont know if you went to Salthill but its worth a visit
Thankyou.
That bookstore looked cool,I like the old school feel.of it.I also love that shop where Nat got the necklace,i'm not a jewelery person, but love those types of shops just to check out.
It really was a neat place! It was a maze of books! Those are the best kinds of book stores! Yea... The jewelry store was neat as well! So many cool spots in Galway! Thanks for watching! We hope you're doing well! 😊
I am from Ireland. Great vlog. We say order of service lol 👍. Subscribed ❤
As a proud Galwegian, this is so cool. I sometimes forget how lucky I am to live here ❤❤❤ The cathedral was built on the former city jail site!
I love your videos and y'all
Aw, thanks Steve!😊
Hey Matt - don't let anyone give you shit about your black skinny jeans. You keep rockin'em!
Hahaha… Thanks!🤘🏻
Hey guys!! Great video as always!! You guys always pack so much great content into your videos (great food, rich history, pee pee dances lol) and you do it with laughs and smiles the entire way. Side note, being from the PNW it was awesome to see the guy playing guitar in the Seahawks shirt!! God bless you both and safe travels ✈️
Aw, thanks so much Joel! Hahaha... Glad you enjoyed the Irish Pee Pee Dance! Lol... Oh, that's awesome! We didn't even catch that! Gonna have to rewatch that section now! Thanks so much for watching! Hope you're doing well! 😊

So I just found both of you and want to thank you 🙏 for this video I’ve been trying to get to Ireland for the last 3 years but it’s cool the all mighty has plans for me but I will definitely be going in march for two weeks next year. And I love the Irish pee pee dance it was hilarious 😂 😂😂 I know exactly how that feels you guys were great thank you ,very informative vlog cheers 🍻
Aww... We're so glad you found us!😊 And we're excited that you're finally getting the chance to visit Ireland! We were the same... We had plans to visit in May of 2020 and... well... We all know what happened. So it was 3 years in the making for us as well! Hahaha... Glad you enjoyed the Irish Pee Pee Dance! That's what happens when you spend too long at the pub! Haha... Thanks so much for watching and safe travels! 😊
Hi! Stumbled onto your channel while trying to plan our Italy trip, and I love both of your energy and your ability "story-tell" well. One thing I couldn't help but notice was how stunning Nat looks in each and every video, and would be very interested in learning about Nat's makeup (+skincare) routine when traveling. I know this is not the purpose of this channel, but I'm very curious =)
Your video makes me want to go back to Ireland so bad!
Awww thanks!! We LOVED Galway so much!! 💗 Ireland is so great right?! 🥰🍀
There is a supermarket in Dublin which has a glass floor, under which you can see an 11th century Viking settlement while you buy your groceries.
Love your videos! We’re going to Ireland the first week in May. Can I ask what time of the year did you go?
Nice
Just watched your Galway video, for future reference Quay is pronounced key.
Ahhh thanks so much!! We’re so excited to come back next year!!
❤ nice country I love Ireland 🇮🇪 it my dream, come and visit sri lanka it also nice country
Another great video from one of my favorite towns in Ireland! When did ya'll go on this trip?
Thanks so much, man! Isn't Galway just great?? We loved it! This video was filmed on May 28th, but we were in Ireland May 22-June 2. Already looking forward to going back next year!
Thanks for a lovely video around Galway, Did you get to go to Salthill the beach area? About 10 minute bus ride from town.
Ive have baby guinness here in the states with Kahlua and I don't like coffee flavor either, and it's okay but last summer we were in Dublin and had a baby guinness with Tia Maria and Baileys omg YUMMMMMMM
Love your lipstick. For all your aerial shots, do you fly your own drone?
The Irish Pee Pee Dance needs to come to the States. Make it happen, Matt! ☘️
😂😂 Guinness has a way of inspiring the Irish Pee Pee Dance, but I'm sure other brands could inspire similar dances! 😂😂
Love your adventures!!
Question ❓❓ What does non-remote mean?
that was a pretty neat castle in the mall
Right? So much history spread throughout the city!
Not a castle, but a remake of the walls that once stood around the city.
Great tour of Galway! I see you have several drone shots, I have my US Part 107 license, any special requirements in Ireland for Americans?
Thanks so much! As far as drone laws… Nothing out of the ordinary that you don’t already know/follow as a Part 107 certified pilot. But you can check out the UAV website coach for the specifics… uavcoach.com/drone-laws-in-ireland/
Hope that helps! Safe travels!
I see so many people try Irish or British food designed to work with tea, refuse to have the tea and complain that it's dry. If you think scones are dry it's because you are missing half the meal.
Love it ❤❤❤
When does your main videos come out ... UK time ?.
Our upload times vary from week to week, but we typically try to have new videos go live on Sunday afternoons between 1pm and 5pm Central Standard time US (which is 6 hours behind UK time I believe). Hope that helps! Thanks for watching! 😊
Next time in Galway, you should try pizza at Dough Bro. 🤤
We wanted to try them! We actually tried to go but they closed early due to a employee appreciation party! So next year when we are back we will definitely be checking it out! 🥰💗 Thanks for the recommendation!
@@AdventuresofMattandNat👌
Nice vid, but the walls in Eyre Square Shopping Centre are not the original walls, they were indeed torn down, they are just replicas. Spanish Arch is the only part of the wall left even tho it was built long after the walls of the city to protect ships docked along the river, Spanish Arch was partially destroyed by the Lisbon Tsunami of 1755. And that market at Spanish Arch (Fish Market) was Tinny Trader's and also where the woman of Claddagh Village, the name sake of the ring, right across River Corrib from Spanis Arch, came over to sell their fish, mostly salmon and Claddagh is pronounced with a A not O at the end. And Quay St is pronounced Key and that is in the Latin Quarter. The Galway Cathedral was the last stone Gothic style Cathedral built in Europe and it was built where the Galway Prison once stood. Former Bishop of Galway Eamonn Casey is interred there.
Sláinte! (pronounced with an A at the end).
Thats a protestant church you went to which is why they were so friendly .Most people in ireland are catholic with Church of Ireland protestants making up a small community so they are usually delighted to see knew people visit there church.
Gobshite
I’ve been to Ireland a few times. One - I presume you mean new not knew; two - very dated information; three - most Irish are friendly no matter what their religion.
They wouldve been friendly regardless religion
I'm a Galwegian, I nearly split myself laughing when Nat said they got to go to Mass 😂😂 Lovely video though, all the love❤
What time of year did you go?
This video was filmed on May 29th, 2023! Hope that helps! Thanks so much for watching!😊
Did you drive here? If so, how was parking?
We did! We drove into the city, parked our car at a garage recommended by our hotel, and didn’t move it until we left! Lol… Parking was pretty terrible in the city center. We just walked everywhere within the city once we were there. Hope that helps! Thanks for watching!😊
quay street pronounced "Key" street..
Oh wow! Thanks for sharing!!! We’ll know next time for when we are there again in June! 🥰🎉
Cromwell soldiers destroyed that Protestant Church and the market is just outside
And used it for their horses, amo, and prostitutes.
Kelly Bundy
Galway people are hilarious.
They hate The Travellers but they act exactly the same as them. 😂
Suposeably.... in the first 30 seconds she says "suposeably". FFS 🤦🏻🤦🏻🤦🏻
🤣🤦🏼♀️ I’m not the best with words. Sorry! I’m working on it!
Because everyone gets all their words perfect, every time...ffs 🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️
@@spaceghostnow4010 you rock! 🥰💗👏🏼 Thanks for having my back!
