Beautiful biking in Connemara - Great way to see Connemara. Martin was incredibly attentive. Bikes were in excellent condition. The views were amazing. Felt very safe on the small, scenic back roads. Highly recommend.

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!

An amazing once in a life time experience - Martin was an amazing tour guide. Despite my lack of experience riding, Martin was very accommodating. The scenery was breathtaking. We were lucky enough to see the Aran Islands peeking through the hazy sky. And the small collection of shops in Spiddal village has a bit of everything for everybody. Martin was a very knowledgeable tour guide, we really appreciated learning about the area from the bog to the "Gaeltacht". Would absolutely recommend this tour for anyone that would love to learn more about the area, visit the charming village of Spiddal, or just loves to go on bike rides. Great for beginner and advanced riders alike.

Fat bycile drive in Galway with Martin - It was a great tour around Galway, in the beginning we were given time to get used how to use the bicycles in the football field, then we were driving in a beautiful park, visited two beaches, and saw lots of cozy cute city corners. It was a nice balance of enjoying the drive and having some history information from Martin. This tour is for opened people who want to open up even more to the new adventure 👍😉

Amazing Electric Fat Tyre Bike Tour - This taste of Connemara tour was excellent and the bikes were so much fun! Martin was the perfect host, ensuring everyone's safety, very courteous, and imparting information regularly on local scenery and customs during our brief stops. The group became friends from the outset, thanks to Martin's enthusiasm and excellent personality. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone who would like to get out in the fresh air, on amazing bikes under the professional supervision of Martin, and to share and enjoy the beautiful scenery which is everywhere along this tour trail. And, as a bonus, the weather was warm and dry throughout! I have no hesitation in giving this fun experience five stars. John.

Great way to see the sights of Galway - Martin is passionate about customer service. The tour is wonderful. Martin first makes sure everyone is comfortable with the electric bikes. He then has everyone take the bikes across the street for some practice. The stops are well placed allowing everyone a chance to see the sights of the Galway area. Martin loves his community and shares wonderful stories. He makes sure everyone is safe when riding near or in traffic. The tour is wonderful for all riding skill levels. Highly recommend this tour for anyone visiting Galway. On a nice day remember to wear a swim suit as you can even go for a dip into Galway bay.
