Great Experience - Cannot say enough good things about Martin and the experience we had with him on this excursion! My family and I had a blast exploring the countryside with Martin at the helm. The bikes were easy to learn and the tour was an absolute pleasure! Our ages ranged from 17 to 80 and everyone was able to safely navigate the bikes and the terrain. Book this tour, you won’t be disappointed!

Fabulous time in gorgeous Connemara - Book this tour immediately! Martin is a wonderful guide. None of my family members had ever tried an electric bike before but he made us feel very comfortable. He checks in and makes his guest feel cared for. This was the perfect way to see beautiful Connemara. If we come back to this part of Ireland, we would book with Martin again!

A must if you are in the area!! - Brilliant!!!! What a fantastic way to see the sights. We met with Martin and Michael and from the start we were made to feel welcome and relaxed and ready to ride the bikes. Some of us hadn't touched a bike since we were kids but Martin and Michael ensured we were comfortable throughout our trip. They were funny, professional and informative of the surrounding area. We loved every second. It was definitely a memory worth peddling for and we cant recommend this experience and Martin highly enough. Its a great way to see the area and given we were a large group we were made to feel very welcome and at ease from the start (which was appreciated with the more nervy members of our group). Martin and Michael ensured we all got the same wonderful experience and even promised to take the less graceful moments to the grave with them..... A must if you are in the area!

Fantastic tour! - We had an amazing time on this tour! The bikes were fun and easy to use, and we were able to see so much of the beautiful countryside on the trip. Martin was a very friendly, informative, and fun tour guide who helped make our experience so great. Would definitely recommend this tour to anyone looking for a fun excursion outside the city!

Fat Bike ride in the countryside - This tour is fantastic!! Martin is a fantastic tour guide. He picked us up from our air b and b and transported us to and from the destination. He was very clear on the directions we were going and we felt safe the entire time. His knowledge of Ireland was amazing. The beauty of the land was incredible. I highly recommend trying this tour. It was a perfect way to see the beauty of Ireland.

Great bike adventure to end our Ireland visit - Our fat bike tour was a great way to end our 10 day stay in Ireland. After lots of walking days and Ireland history, it was a delight to hop on a bike and explore the countryside north of Galway. Martin was a fabulous host and guide. We appreciated his communication the day before to confirm our ride, resulting in him being flexible and suggesting starting an hour earlier than planned to be sure we had enough time for the drive back to Dublin. He took time and care to make sure we were comfortable with the bikes before heading out. Given the route is about 30 km with some hills, being on an electric bike was perfect! Allows for just about anyone to enjoy the ride. It was interesting to ride by the bog areas where turf/peat is still cut, dried and stacked to use as fuel. The stop in Spiddal was really fun, we enjoyed a snack and tea and looking through all the local craftsperson’s shops. If you like to get off the beaten path, and have an active and interesting adventure, consider this tour with Martin!

A fun ride in Connemara - Martin did everything to make this a great trip. He gave us instruction at the beginning, helped us with all the equipment and lets us on a very interesting tour. We had a very interesting 20 km loop and Martin made sure everyone had an enjoyable and safe trip.

eBikes tour in Connemara - Fat Bike Galway - We loved the ride! - We had a great tour with Martin (Fat Bike Galway) around a beautiful lake and Irish Country side in Connemara as part of the Vagabond Wild Irish Rover Tour. Martin had awesome RAD Fat Tire Bikes with all the safety gear that was new and clean. We had experienced and un-experienced riders. Martin could accomodate all. He sprinkled in interesting stories with 2 - 3 stops along the ride. We loved the ride and would do it again!
