The short version
When the Christmas Markets open around Eyre Square in mid-November, Galway city fills up fast and parking becomes a real headache. A private evening transfer to Galway Christmas Markets means a professional chauffeur collects you, drops you close to the action and is waiting when you are ready to head home. No circling for a space, no designated driver, no taxi queue in the cold.
