Aran Islands Bike Tour: A Must-Do! - I wrote a review for Ollie's tours, but regarding this bike tour, it is absolutely fantastic. It's not that far to bike, but the experience is really superb and you miss out if you don't do the bikes. It's about 3 miles, not strenuous. If you can walk a couple of miles, then you are fit enough to do the bike ride. Sean led our bike ride, and he had great stories and information about the sites. He is really a great tour guide. I really recommend this adventure!

Great Tour Group, Best way to see the wonders of Ireland - Great experience, from the drive to and from the ferry learning about Ireland and the history of the towns we passed thru with our driver Ollie. To a great led bike tour with Elenor around the island to the scones and tea at the end. I would definitely recommend this tour group to any one traveling to Ireland.

Amazing day trip - We thoroughly enjoyed our trip to the Aran Islands. The experience was very intimate and personalized. Phil was a fabulous guide and it was so pleasant spending the day with him (especially the great tunes on the ride back). Would highly recommend.

A tour you must do - We took an Aran Island bike tour from Galway and it was one of the best experiences we've had in Ireland. Phil was an excellent guide who made the whole tour outstanding. His energy, sense of humor, knowledge and friendliness were just few of the characteristics of his character. We also enjoyed scones and tea experience. We've enjoyed every part of the tour... even the long ride between the Galway and Doolin. Thank you Ollie's team! Keep rocking same way.

Biking tour of Aran Islands - My 15 year old daughter and I did this Aran Islands biking tour and it was the highlight of our trip to Ireland. Dean picked us up in Galway and made the drive to Doolin highly entertaining in sharing some stories along the way. Sofia, our guide on Inisheer (smallest of the Aran Islands) was amazing. As we biked along the island, she stopped along different landmarks and gave us the history and stories behind them- something that you would miss out on if you were visit there on your own. The coffee and scones at the end were a perfect ending to an incredible day. We also had the opportunity to chat with the daughter of the owner of the cafe to get an insight on what it's like to live on this island which added so much to our experience. I loved the fact that it was a small group tour (maximum 8 I think!) as you get so much more out of it than a great big tour bus full of tourists. Highly recommended booking this! 🚲 ☺️

Loved this tour!!! A must-do if you are in Galway. - This tour was truly one of the highlights of our trip to Ireland! From the moment we boarded the boat at Doolin Pier, everything was smooth, scenic, and full of charm. A big thank you to our amazing guide Philip - and his trainee Sean(? very friendly read head). Philip was not only a guide, but a historian and photographer! He was very kind when we asked to stop to take photos and was happy to share stories of folklore, history, and music. I'm very happy he didn't mind my numerous questions while I sat in the front seat. The day was not only fun with beautiful sites, but also informative. The short 25-minute ferry ride to Inisheer was beautiful, a bit bumpy but getting wet is part of the fun! The guided bike tour was fantastic — our guides were knowledgeable and friendly, and we loved seeing ancient ruins, castles, shipwrecks, and even a sunken church (I am happy to say I am going to heaven! lol). It felt like every turn held another story. After biking, we enjoyed a warm cup of tea and fresh scones in a cozy, private café where a local chatted with us and shared stories about life growing up on the island and attending school in Galway. We had free time to explore, shop for an Aran sweater (or two), and soak in the island’s peaceful beauty before heading back to Doolin. There, we had time to grab a pint (or three) and lunch at a local pub (The roadside tavern is amazing!) If you're looking for an enriching experience while in Ireland, don’t miss this tour. It was amazing from start to finish!
