Great bike trip to explore and experience the beautiful Donegal coast and countryside. Well organized, comfortable lodging and Ireland by Bike always available to communicate with us, as needed, while we’re on our cycle trip

It was wonderful! The itinerary was perfect. We did almost every “extra” element. The weather was … kind of a constant companion on the trip. It was a constant presence. We were soaked for a part of every day. One minute it was raining and blowing 30 mph, the next the sun was out (and still blowing 30 mph), then the rainbows, then a brief rain shower, then sun again. But it was enjoyable! If we’d been in a car, we probably would have said “It was terrible, rained the whole time,” and would have missed all the wonderful nuances. We did not really try to stay dry. We just got wet and dried off again, wearing quick-dry pants and lightweight rain jackets with wool layers underneath and lightweight wool socks and quick-drying running shoes on our feet. Seamus was wonderful. We had a minor illness that required medical attention and walked into the doctors office in Carrick unannounced and they worked us into their schedule immediately! Amazing. $50 euros later we were on our way. Best seafood chowder was the tea house at the Glen Colm Cille history museum. Studio Donegal in Kilcar not to be missed. Best spontaneous visit was with Kathleen Meehan, a lady in her house with a handmade sign “Handmade Sweaters: Open” near Mukross Head, where we visited for a half hour. Best side quest was the rocks at St. John’s Point lighthouse, which were chock full of fossils. We loved the side trip to Port. Coolest pub was Nancy’s bar in Ardara. Best meal was probably the Indian place in Donegal Town, Chandpur. We loved every part of this trip! Thanks, Nora and Seamus!

We had a great bike trip going on the highlights of Donegal. The booking, payment, and organization was very straightforward and detailed, which made things very simple. Congrats to Seamus and Nora for such a smooth process. The E bikes were ideal for this trip with the significant elevation gains. It was also very nice to be on bike trails for a portion of the trip and the vast majority of vehicles on the secondary roads were very cautious drivers and friendly. The E bikes had no problems with the distance and were of very high-quality. Accommodations were nice and the transfer of luggage worked smoothly. We couldn’t say enough, kind words about the Irish people that we met, and it made travelling very easy when sometimes the weather in this area of Ireland was not very accommodating. Fortunately, the scenery and the people make up for a little rain and wind! 5 star trip and organization. Highly recommend.
