Tripadvisor Reviews

Absolutely beautiful, great exercise, friendly

My wife and I loved our bike trip. We took the 9 day Highlights of the Highlands. The routes are gorgeous – through open meadows, by oceans and inlets, and across mountain valleys. This is a truly stunning part of the world. What made it especially nice is that 80% of the roads had almost no traffic. We also loved the freedom of a self-guided tour. We started early some days, and after lunch on other days – whatever we felt like. We took more or fewer side trips, based on how energetic we felt. If we found an especially relaxing spot, we stopped there for hours. No-one told us what to do, or when to do it...
Backroads and Beyond

We just completed a marvellous 12 day tour of County Donegal that included fantastic hikes and memorable biking on mostly quiet routes along the Wild Atlantic Way. With Seamus and Nora booking our B and B’s and transporting our bags, we were free to travel and explore to our hearts content. We enjoyed perfect biking weather, warm Irish hospitality, comfortable bikes and beds, wonderful Irish breakfasts, and a Guinness or two. We toured castles, mills, weaving studios, beaches, and graveyards, learning the history of this beautiful land. We would highly recommend this trip to anyone who wanted to explore on bike. 2 couples travelling together had 2 E-bikes and 2 hybrids and we all did well. Have to say, I really loved the E-bike on those Donegal hills!
Fantastic trip!

What an amazing trip! Scenery was beautiful, we had the opportunity to explore some amazing small towns with friendly locals, and stayed at some great BnB's - all of which was coordinated through IrelandByBike. Luggage was transported to our next lodging every day, and they put together a wonderful packet with information on each key destination and route, which made it all extremely easy. We're already planning our next trip!
Immersed in Ireland

Biking the hills and mountains of Donegal Ireland was challenging but well worth it. I must admit I think we should have taken our time a little more but the scenery was spectacular. The owners of Ireland By Bike are the the BEST. Seamus and Laura were always available and helpful. The weather can be as challenging as the ride but that is also an immersion into the culture. It does rain so bring wet weather gear. The wind can also hurt you on the climbs. The roadways and routes are well maintained and it looked like they had recently repaved most of the back roads. Some of the lanes are rather narrow but traffic is almost nonexistent and they have to watch for sheep as well as bikers.
