Our 2011 tours are fully guided and the superior level of support provided is what sets us apart from other tours. Cell phones are provided to cyclists allowing a high degree of individual independence while remaining safe in the knowledge that support is ever present in the form of support buses or motorcycle, which comb through the route throughout the daily ride.
This simultaneously facilitates all cycling abilities by giving everyone the independence to cycle at their preferred distance at their own pace. The group spreads out along the route throughout the daily ride so you never feel the pressure to keep up with anyone. This is your tour, ridden at your pace..

Our guided bicycle tour has been developed to explore the most striking regions of Ireland. The West coast's ever changing landscapes from the towering Cliffs of Moher to the unique limestone plateau of the Burren to the lakes and bogland of Connemara offer the perfect backdrop for a bike tour in Ireland. We provide you with the opportunity to learn much about the people, history, traditions, sport, and music that shaped our unique culture.

Irish culture still flourishes in these regions. The ancient native Irish language (Gaelic) is still spoken by locals going about their daily business. We will teach you some Gaelic throughout the tour. Enjoy traditional Irish music sessions in the pubs after cycling through picture postcard countryside. The small villages and towns you will visit during the tour encompass the true Irish spirit.

By riding with us you are utilizing our local knowledge and thirteen years experience running guided tours. Living here provides us with unlimited opportunities to improve the tour and the routes, giving you a superior experience and better value for money. All this while riding at your own pace and enjoying the craic for which we Irish are renowned.

While the level of support provided attracts many first time cycle tour participants and family's, we also provide ample challenge for the strongest cyclists. We offer a seven day and five day itinerary. Our tour explores four specific regions in the picturesque West of Ireland, Connemara, Aran Islands, Burren and Shannon Basin. You will enjoy spectacular scenery, while soaking up the historical background of the regions at your own pace. We specialize in running tours exclusively in the West of Ireland, that's why our knowledge of the region is second to none.
