“WOW. So glad we went in this tour. I will say we had outstanding weather , sunny and 60 degrees (could have used some cotton gloves during cloudy areas but I'm usually cold). Nikki, our tour guide was a treasure. Great info, thanks wonderful sense of humor and so much fun. Saw so many beautiful sites in Howth. Consider it a MUST DO! 29 minute direct train from Dublin.”

“We enjoyed our E-bike tour. It was our first time on e-bikes and they were great, especially up the cobblestone streets up hill. Our guide shared lots of great information about Dublin. FYI - Riding in the bike lanes was great, but at times you are riding in the road next to cars.”

“Colin is really a perfect guide. He knows it all about the history of Island and about Dublin. Sérgio from Paris”
Self-guided bike tour in Killarney National Park, stopping at Muckross House, Muckross Abbey, and Torc Waterfall with bikes and maps.
“I recommend the tour around the water! Good paths for cycling and walking! You can hop of the bikes for short or longer walks, we enjoyed a good walk to the Torc waterfall. You can also hop on boat trips, visit the cafe and Muckross museum and gardens. It's absolutely possible to spend a whole day just exploring this area of the national parc. If you bring kids, don't take this route, but maybe only the route to Muckross. Here is also possibility to visit playground and an old farm activity center.”
Guided Aran Islands bike tour to Inisheer from Doolin with round-trip ferry, island stops, and tea and scones, plus free time on the island.

Gorgeous scenery and memorable ferry ride looking at the Cliffs of Moher. Loved stopping at the cafe for local history and the best scone I’ve ever had. This was a great day!”

eBike the Dingle Peninsula from Dingle with helmet intercom, easy hills, and self-guided stops at Slea Head sights. 2-3 hours.

E-bike the Great Western Greenway from Westport to Achill Island on off-road paths with easy bus return, German bikes, and big coastal views.
“Great experience! Instructions for getting to the greenway path and following it all the way to Achill were very clear and super helpful along the route. The bikes were in good condition and perfect for the ride. We spent a bit of time up front being taught how to properly use the bike and give it a test whirl to make sure the seat height was correct and we were comfortable. The route is so very scenic and offers many opportunities to stop for pics along the way. We highly recommend this tour and are so glad we went with Paddy & Nelly!”
