Absolutely stunning views and an amazing experience! - The trip was awesome! The views were simply amazing, too hard to describe, and we had a wonderful time! We felt like we exercised, but the ebikes were perfect for a one day tour like we did.

Husband and wife bike trip - Fantastic time today. Nora was incredibly helpful in getting our bikes set up for us, making sure we had maps and just generally being absolutely lovely and kind! The roads we took we almost completely empty of cars,but when we encountered one they were very patient and made sure we were safe before passing us. The sights were truly unforgettable! The steep mountains were dotted with sheep. We passed peat bogs and lakes and the cliffs were just jaw dropping!! We also met other tourists from England and Germany, and of course the Irish were so much fun! This was definitely one the best days of our lives and we couldn't have done it without Nora and Seamus. Thank you for everything You now have a permanent place in our hearts!

Beautiful service for cycling in Ireland - We did part of the Wild Atlantic Way in Donegal for 4 days. The organization of Ireland by Bike is excellent from all points of view. The itineraries are very well thought out, the bikes are in excellent condition and well equipped: e.g. the lights are powered by a Shimano dynamo inside the wheel and with a buffer battery so you are visible even when stationary. There is great flexibility in the service and the stop points are truly comfortable. Obviously breathtaking landscapes!

A thoroughly authentic experience - This was an incredible adventure and one I happily recommend. My daughter and I were so impressed with everything about the experience. The accommodations were comfortable and having the baggage portaged by Seamus each day made it easy. Our BAndB hosts were lovely at each stop. The GPS on the bikes took us off the beaten path and allowing us to enjoy an “in the weeds” Irish experience. The people and sights along the way provided us with such an authentic Irish feel. At almost 70 I was just a bit nervous about the rigor of the rides but I had absolutely no problems. I would do it all over again. Ireland May be the only vacation destination I was “homesick” for when I returned to the states.

Perfect Day - This was a fabulous experience from start to finish. Séamus runs a great operation. He made sure we had a detailed map with descriptions of significant landmarks. I didn’t think we would be able to have time to explore all of the routes, but we did. Bikes were great. You won’t regret booking this tour! Thank you Séamus!

21 day custom tour from Sligo to Cushendall - Amy and I contacted Ireland by Bike to create a 21 day custom bike tour combining several of their tours of the Wild Atlantic Way, Donegal and the Causeway/Antrim coastal route. Seamus and Nora were a pleasure to work with and were excellent communicators. They were more than willing to create an itinerary and route that met all of our expectations and more. We had originally planned to ride the tour in May of 2023, and had paid for and booked the trip and flights. Unfortunately, we had to cancel due to a bike crash injury Amy had prior to the trip that needed time for rehab. No problem! Seamus and Nora cheerfully returned our funds and said to contact them when we were ready to ride again. We booked for September and again, Seamus and Nora had our logistics and tour route ready to go. We had a four day layover enroute to Dublin in Reykjavik, Iceland to get synced up with the time zone change ( 8 hours forward!) and jet lag relief. We strongly recommend this option as we were ready to ride when we arrived in Ireland. We met Seamus in Sligo to get our tour briefing and e-bikes. We had a nice visit with him and went over our itinerary, GPS and bicycle operating details. He was very informative and helpful, providing us with all we needed to start our tour. All of the routes and side trips were just what we hoped for. Amazing scenery, abundant historical sites to visit and, most importantly, back roads with minimal vehicle traffic. I can honestly say that we encountered more sheep and farm tractors than other motor vehicles. While we had to ride some busy highways, they were of short duration and usually had a bike path or lane for us to ride on. The lodging they arranged for us was exceptional! We enjoyed our stay and meals at all of them, and the hosts were very friendly and helpful. Their local knowledge of places to hike and visit and evening meal options were invaluable. Our luggage was always waiting for us at our evening destination. Our rental bikes, GPS and guide books provided by Ireland by Bike were accurate, dependable and easy to use. That's not to say we didn't manage to occasionally "create" our own routes, but that was operator error, and we never got lost. We had the pleasure of meeting Nora in Carrick at the company building while riding to Glencolmcille. Seamus met with us again in Letterkenney to provide a GPS and guide books for the back half of our tour ending at Cushendall. It's hard to say which part of the tour was our favorite, as every leg had it's own unique, exceptional character and scenery. The hiking days we had scheduled at Slieve League and Glen's Head are memorable and were a nice break from being in the saddle. The side trips and ferry rides to Arranmore and Rathlin Islands were spectacular, as was the riding and scenery. We would not hesitate to recommend Ireland By Bike for those wishing to book a bike tour. Ours was truly a trip of a lifetime, and everyone who has viewed our photos agrees!

Highly recommended! - Seamus was amazing! The weather forecast for the day of our tour was not great. I was in contact with Seamus the night before and he could not have been any nicer. We had a window of “good” weather to go out and he offered to open the shop early for us to get out and take advantage of it. We were grateful! We only did a part of the “tour” but what we did see at the first couple of tour stops was amazing. The equipment is top notch and easy to use. Dry bags and everything you need included. We are casual bikers and this was perfect for an activity while in Ireland . If only the weather had cooperated! Highly recommend!
