TOURS IN IRELAND

The ideal way to see Ireland is from a bicycle saddle! Escape comes easily on an Irish country road as you fill your lungs with fresh clean air and beautiful green countryside is all around. Mountains, rivers, seascapes such as you have never seen before and at the end of the day a satisfying meal of local produce washed down with a pint of Guinness! Some hills perhaps but the routes are designed to go between them not over the tops. Some rain maybe but then the sun will come out to make the countryside shine with colour. Either of the two tours listed below offer an experience you will always remember so give us a call.

Carraroe is famous for its fine beaches and the nearby ferry from Rossaveal takes you to the Aran island of Inis Mor.
