The city takes its name from the Gaillimh river (River Corrib) that formed the western boundary of the earliest settlement, which was called Dún Bhun na Gaillimhe, or the fort at the bottom of the Gaillimh.

Customer Testimonial
Hi Tina! This has taken me forever to get back to you but here goes.
You and your coworkers were very, very helpful to me when I was planning our trip to Ireland on my own. The B & B vouchers were very easy to use, and we had no issues with them. I pre booked all of our stays in advance, and it was very easy to use the website to book all of the B&B's. Getting the extra car insurance was definitely worth it, even though we thankfully didn't need it. But after all the stories, I would say its worth it to get the extra coverage. We had an amazing time on our trip, and we can't thank you enough for helping us simplify it with the B & B vouchers, and having your help booking the car rental. Since this was our first trip that I was planning, I loved being able to have your help with booking the car rental to make sure I understood everything. (GPS is great!!) So thank you for all of your help!! We can't wait to plan another trip, and we would definitely go through your website again.
Thanks again! Trent & Kellie H. from Wisconsin, USAKellie & Trent Hagen, Sparta, Wisconsin
