Amazing experience - a must-do! - This tour was our favourite experience of our week-long trip to Ireland. Our tour guide, Eleanor, was amazing! So friendly and knowledgeable, and just a great human. I was a little worried about the ferry ride over to the island as I am prone to seasickness, but even on a fairly blustery day, it was completely fine and I had no issues. The trip is only about 15 minutes long and very comfortable. The cycling was so fun - a little challenging on the hills here and there for this 58-year-old :) but all manageable. Eleanor was more than happy to wait at the top of the hill if you wanted to walk your bike to the top. There were nice little breaks at each of the historical site stops, too, where you could catch your breath. The history of the island and all of the sights we saw were incredible, and the tea & scones at the end were absolutely delicious. What an amazing spot to visit. I would love to go again sometime. Thank you so much for an amazing tour!!

Aran Island/Cliffs of Moher tour with Ollie’s - Ollie and Eleanor (sp?) met us at the Doolin pier with a warm welcome! The ferry ride was easy as was getting squared away with bikes on Inisheer. Eleanor gave us a fabulous tour of the island, stopping frequently to share history, folklore, and just general witty banter! She is absolutely lovely! Tea/coffee/soft drinks and fresh scones at Una’s Cafe were a treat, enjoyed along with some additional history of the island from Una’s daughter. We spent the remainder of the island time in the woolen shops admiring (and purchasing!) beautiful Aran Islands handiwork. We added-on the Cliffs of Moher ferry ride; the views were spectacular with the crew narrating as we passed by. The entire trip was about 5.5hrs and was awesome start to finish. Highly, highly recommend!

Aran Islands - Well Worth the Trip - Unfortunately the weather was too bad to ride E bikes, ended up doing walking tour. Love the island, the people there, and our guide. Simone was very knowledgeable and great to travel with. We were just happy to make the 20 minute ferry ride there, the water was pretty rough that day.

Simon was an excellent guide for an interesting and enjoyable tour. - Simon was an excellent guide for an interesting and enjoyable tour. My only critique is that we could have had more than 30 minutes free time prior to catching the boat back to Doolin. Not his faulty but the structure of the tour.

Highly recommend - The people were incredibly kind and accommodating (the weather was wet and raw), and we learned lots from Tommy, our guide, as well as the locals who helped make the experience memorable and fun. The island is beautiful and unique. So glad we made the trip!

Love our day on the Aran Islands!! - We loved our your guide Tommy!! He was fun and quite knowledgeable about the history of the Islands. The island itself is truly unique and quaint with narrow streets, beautiful green pastures, and horse and carriage rides. It was the most ideal place to bike with very few cars sharing the roads!! The scones and tea were scrumptious and perfect too!! Ollie, the tour guide operator was very easy to reach. It was raining the morning of our trip and I called him at 7:45am to see if the trip was a go. It was and it turned out to be the most beautiful day. The trip runs rain or shine. If biking is not an option you can take a horse and carriage ride!! This trip was a true highlight for our time in Ireland!!

Wonderful bike tour!! - This was a great trip! Although hilly, the biking was not difficult. You can rent an e-bike for 20 which was totally worth it for me. Sophia was a great guide. Very friendly and knowledgeable about the island and the people. The bike ride is actually only about 2 hours of the total trip. The scones were the best we had in Ireland! Owner of the shop spent a good amount of time telling us about the island and the people and answering any questions. Had some time at the end to check out the shops and more of the island.

Thank you, Phil! - Our 5-person group had a fantastic time biking around the island with Phil. All of us chose a standard bicycle for the tour, but there were electric bikes available if we needed them (one of us probably should have opted for that). The weather was gorgeous, and our two other tour members were lovely. Phil was an amazing host--candid, helpful, and hilarious. He answered any questions we had while entertaining us with his stories.
