Great day out with friends - We had a great day out with Martin exploring Connemara. Pickup from our accommodation in Galway was so convenient as we had no transport. The scenic drive to Connemara was stunning and the sheepdog demonstration was a blast! We had a great lunch in Leenane before the hike on Diamond Hill in Connemara National Park. Views were amazing even on a cloudy day. Would highly recommend for a great day out for friends or family.

Excellent family day out - Wow what an an amazing hike and stunning scenery including views of Kylemore Abbey on top of Diamond Hill. This was a highlight for me as I love the history of the Abbey. Kids really enjoyed the sheep dog demo and the puppies were a big hit. A super fun, healthy day out with the kids and no complaining are we there yet for a change 🤪🙂. Our guide Martin was engaging and very knowledgeable about the area. Would definitely recommend this tour. Five star 🙂

Rad Bike experience - What an amazing day with Martin and the rad e-bikes! We were part of an off-road tour and this excursion through the countryside with a guide that loves his job was so special. Martin personally guided and took great care of each member of our group as safety and customer service was very important to him. He shared good knowledge of the area and was so humble. We highly recommend this guided tour and the bikes were awesome! Thank you, Martin!

Best Day Ever! - We have nothing but love for this tour! The bike ride allowed us to experience the Irish countryside in a way that we couldn't have without Martin as our guide. He had the perfect half day planned for us that included scenic views, souvenir shopping locally made goods in a quaint Irish speaking town, a fantastic healthy lunch, and even a swim in the pristine Galway Bay! It was a day my family and I will never forget. My family had quite the range of comfort levels when it came to riding bikes. Some of us are bikers, and others hadn't been on a bike in years. Additionally, some were worried about fitness levels. The electric bikes were so awesome and easy to use. Martin is flexible with the bike to stopping for views ratio, adding to the ease of the ride. All 5 of us felt perfectly safe and comfortable throughout the tour. The ride was as easy or hard as you wanted it to be, keeping all of us engaged and having fun. I'm thinking about buying the same bike for myself back at home! Most importantly, Martin is awesome. He had a great knowledge of the area, answered any and all of our questions, had unending patience, flexibility, prioritized our safety, and had a sense of humor that had us smiling all morning. If you are on the fence, I recommend booking the tour! It is reasonably priced for how much you get to see and do. It was a favorite experience for all of us out of all the things we did on our 10 day holiday!
