    What Makes Our Bike Tours Special

    Our Irish cycling tours offer an engaging and enjoyable way to explore Ireland’s beautiful landscapes, fascinating history and warm local culture.  From the most enthusiastic rider to those looking for a more relaxed trip, we offer road cycling and E-biking trips to suit everyone. With many diverse landscapes, quaint villages and wild coastlines to explore across the Emerald Isle, we take the stress out of planning – by taking care of every detail. 

    Created by our knowledgeable trip designers, all our cycling tours combine unique routes, stunning views, cultural points of interest, delicious food, and charming accommodations. A defining feature of our tours is our small group sizes, which allow for a more authentic and personalised experience. During your adventure, two experienced cycling guides look after every aspect of your tour, including bike fit, luggage transfers, weather updates, snacks, storytelling, and local lore.

    With everything organised in advance and led by guides who are warm, kind and knowledgeable, our cycling trips ensure you make the very most of your time in Ireland. With bike rental included in all our trip prices and a curated selection of fantastic bike tours to choose from, all that’s left for you to do is enjoy the journey.

    Fully Guided Read More

    All our cycling trips are led by professional guides who ensure each day runs smoothly. Travelling in small groups and often following point-to-point routes, you’ll enjoy a strong sense of progression as you pedal through changing scenery, soaking up the views.

    If you’ve chosen a fully-guided trip, one guide cycles with the group each day, while a second guide travels in a nearby support vehicle, ready to assist as needed with refreshments, mechanical support, or a lift if required. Every morning begins with a clear route briefing, while bike computers and pre-programmed maps give you the freedom to ride at your own pace or pedal as part of a friendly group. There’s no need to worry about directions, so you can focus on enjoying the ride.

    From seamlessly managing behind-the-scenes logistics to sharing cultural insights and storytelling along the way, our guides ensure a relaxed and fully supported cycling experience from start to finish.

    We’ll Sweat the Details Read More

    Designed with local knowledge and passion for the regions they explore, all our cycling trips are carefully crafted to balance well-paced riding with historical points of interest and opportunities to learn about the landscapes and cultures you’re pedalling through. It’s not just about the miles under your wheels, it’s about the places you pass through, the stories you encounter and the lovely spots you stop to explore.

    On our fully guided cycling trips, one guide will accompany you as you pedal, and another support guide will manage the practicalities, transferring luggage between accommodations and carrying drinks and snacks in the support van so you can ride light and comfortably. Your guides are also on hand to bring the landscapes, stories, history and folklore of Ireland to life, answering your questions and sharing their passion for the regions you visit. You’ll also receive clear, detailed route notes for every ride, giving you the freedom to cycle with the group or ride independently, with regrouping points planned throughout the day.

    Evenings are given the same level of attention. We select welcoming, independent hotels and carefully chosen places to eat, with reservations arranged in advance, allowing you to relax over good food and reflect on the day’s riding.

    Trip Planning and Customer Support Read More

    We deliver a range of expertly crafted cycling tours in Ireland’s most beautiful regions. With many wonderful itineraries to choose from, our knowledgeable and friendly sales team are always happy to answer any questions you have about grading, bike choice, terrain, pace or accommodation.

    Throughout a fully-guided tour, you’ll be looked after by two highly qualified guides who are ready to respond quickly, efficiently, and discreetly to any questions or issues that arise, ensuring help is always close at hand. With expert guidance before you travel and reliable support throughout, you can relax knowing your bike trip is in safe, experienced hands. Whether you’re a first-time visitor to our emerald shores or a returning traveller, we would be delighted to welcome you to Ireland and into the saddle.

    Bring Your Own Bike

    You are also more than welcome to bring your own bike. If you’re bringing your E-bike along for the trip, please ensure it has a removable battery. Due to limitations around charging, E-bikes with non-removable batteries cannot be accommodated.

    If you choose to do so, please ensure it’s in excellent working condition and has been recently serviced – either by you or by a reputable bike shop.

    In addition, please bring the following:

    • Multi-tool, including a chain tool
    • Mini pump and/or CO2 canisters
    • Two spare tubes and a puncture repair kit

    Because we will need to load your bike onto one of our trailers, please ensure that:

    • Your rear wheel is clear of any obstructions, including lights, mudguard or panniers
    • Your tyres are no wider than 45mm

    Due to the nature of our trips, we are unfortunately unable to carry bike boxes or bags with us, so please make prior arrangements if necessary.

    If you have any questions at all, don’t hesitate to get in touch. Our friendly and knowledgeable sales team are always delighted to answer any queries you may have.
