Review of Ollie’s Aran Islands bike tour from Galway, with ferry, Inisheer cycling, Burren scenery, tea, scones, and practical tips.
“Garry was a terrific tour guide! He was completely entertaining the whole day! He showed us interesting places to get great photos, explained some things we'd heard elsewhere, very informative. This was a delightful way to see the Aran Islands. The ferry ride to Inis Oirr from Doolin is short. I loved the biking we covered the main sights efficiently, and then as a reward tea and scones before the ferry ride back to Doolin. As a bonus, we had lunch at a pub in Doolin that just happened to have live Irish music. And the weather was perfect! The small group was great, we had 21 total and 7…”

“Tour was run by Martin who was great! Safety was a top concern! Saw parts of the Connemara region countryside most wouldn’t see! Beautiful and enjoyable day. Family of 6 (4 kids in their 20s). E-bikes were easy to operate and made climbing hills doable! Thanks for a great day Martin!!”

Review of Galway’s private Taste of Connemara e-bike tour, with Barna views, Furbo boglands, Spiddal crafts, pricing, tips, and FAQs.
“This is an emjoyable e-bike ride through lovely scenery to a nice village with a delicious cafe and many nice craft shops. Martin took very good care of our small crew of three. Safety was his top priority, and he communicated well throughout the ride. I felt very comfortable with the pace and the route even with my 14 year old along.”
Explore Inishmore by e-bike with a map, helmet, roadside help, and a full day to reach Dun Aonghasa, churches, seals, and the Worm Hole.
“Despite the fact that it was pouring rain most of the day this was one of our favorite days of our entire trip. The island is quite hilly and the e-bikes made it easy to zip all over. We felt bad for the traditional bike riders we kept passing. The island is perfect for bikes as there aren’t many cars. More horse and carts. We were able to quickly grab our bikes as soon as we got off the ferry. Helmets were included. We had more than enough time to explore, and saved time for lunch before taking the ferry back to Galway.”
Explore Inisheer from Galway by ferry, bike or mini bus, with Cliffs of Moher views, island stories, tea, scones, and free time.

“Ivan is a fabulously friendly and well informed tour guide, and the electric bike option makes the tour very easy. Not only did Ivan provide great information about the town and it's features, he went WAY over and above and helped us out of a jam when one of our cell phones died. I would not hesitate to recommend this as a great way to see Galway!”

“While we signed up for the scavenger hunt, we ended up doing a guided tour, on our request. The centre of Galway has significant traffic at certain times of the day and there are no shoulders on the road to give a bike rider some sense of safety. Alex kindly offered to put us in with a tour going on an hour later. This tour was excellent and Alex ensured that all were as safe as could be. I would highly recommend taking a tour with this company. The scavenger hunt would be likely to be fun but I would only suggest that for people comfortable with biking with some…”

“This was a fun and informative tour. Felix was a great guide. It was raining and cold but we had a great time. Alex was helpful too. We had an hour before the tour and he took around Galway some. When we got back and were soaking wet, he took us to a store so we could buy some new dry clothes. Also gave a great recommendation for lunch at Dough Bros. Pizza was delicious!”
Cycle Inisheer at your own pace for $34.99. See beaches, forts, the Plassy shipwreck, lighthouse, and Cliffs of Moher views.
