About our Cycling Tours
On all of our Cycling Tours we take care of all accommodation and bicycles, we provide a local guide, as well as all the cycling equipment you need - and best of all, we carry your luggage for you - taking away all of the hassles, but none of the adventure of your holiday.
On our group cycling holidays we bring together a group of people from all over the world. Our daily cycle is a leisurely 30 - 40 miles which we find gives plenty of time to stop and explore your surroundings. Longer options are available for those who want to stretch their legs.
Our Antrim, Donegal and Kerry safaris are hillier than the other routes but happily there are no large mountain ranges to cross in any part of Ireland.
We take up to 20 people on each tour and many come on their own. A great group spirit develops as people swap stories over dinner at the end of the day.
Although the guide will not be cycling with you, he or she will be driving the support van and shall make a sweep to ensure that all is well and offer lifts to those who want a break. This provides a sense of freedom in that you can travel at your own pace in the security that our guide is there for you in the event that you might need them.
All our group bike tours start on a Saturday.
