Wonderful trek through Kinsale and surrounds. The views of the town and harbor were stunning. Our guide, Mylie, is a local who provided a wealth of information concerning the history and development of the town. The e bikes were the perfect way to navigate the narrow streets and hills in and around Kinsale. First rate experience!

Miley made us feel completely comfortable navigating the streets and hillsides of Kinsale. While having a bit of pre-ride anxiety about biking on the roads we felt completely safe during the entire ride. Miley’s history of the town and county were fascinating while stopping to take in the vistas in town and the countryside. All around wonderful trip.

Icing on the cake, from a truly special city.

Gerry_D, Jun 2026
A complete joy! Miley has warmth of an old friend, sharing the sights and knowledge of his city. We had a sunny day and 360 degree views of the city and surrounding area. The history was a delight to hear, the charm of the guide, and the equipment with audio helmets was an excellent touch. I highly recommend the tour, you can't go wrong. A couple tips, show up early and grab a coffee at Jo's, you won't be disappointed, besides Miley will certainly appreciate the added connection. Next, when you stop by the Charles Fort, ask if you can pay the entrance fee and take 15-30 min for a quick look. I bet Miley would have some interesting facts as well to share. Enjoy the ride!

Truly excellent and...

So fun! It was guided by a Kinsale local native who is also the owner. Highley recommend

Jamie_M, May 2026
Get to take in all the views of Kinsale while learning about the history as well! It is an electric bike however you still have to pedal. But it was very easy!

Don’t miss this tour!

Ashleigh_H, May 2026
What a fabulous way to experience Kinsale! Miley provided us a safe experience biking around town with history and great views built in. It’s not physically exhausting and the e-bikes are very easy to use for any age.

Great way to see and learn about Kinsale

gzoarski, May 2026
A beautiful and informative way to see Kinsale with a local who grew up here in the family home that his dad still resides in! Mylie, our guide, knew pretty much every local we passed on our way. Great mix of historical information, local lore, and insider tips. The small urban e-bikes have a lot of pep and adjust easily to riders of all sizes. Pleasant pace of biking with a few hills that were easily conquered.

Great Friend Ride

I Would Do It Again! For Sure!

George_W, May 2026
Mylie (sp?) was excellent. So nice to have a local tell local stories about local people. And also share the history of Kinsale and Ireland in such a real and fun way. I would do it again! For sure!

Highlight of my Kinsale stay!!

Janelle_S, Sep 2025
I can’t recommend this e-bike tour around Kinsale enough! Miley, our native guide, was absolutely incredible—fun, knowledgeable, and full of great local stories. He took us to the most breathtaking stops and views that I never would have found on my own. Thank goodness for the electric pedal assist, because the hills in Kinsale are no joke—but with the e-bike, it was totally doable and such an enjoyable ride. Kinsale itself is stunning, and the people here are just so lovely and friendly—the warmest I’ve experienced so far on my trip! I’m so glad I decided to do this. As a solo traveler, it was the perfect way to join a small group for a few hours, and the other five people in my group were just as wonderful. This was easily one of the highlights of my trip.

Beautiful country experience

MaryAnn_W, Aug 2025
Marley a wonderful host/guide. Town 17 miles from Cork. He took us on the tour even though we arrived late. E-bike made the 10+ mile trip easy to complete in 1 1/2 h. We enjoyed learning the history and visiting the beautiful town squares, ancient churches and colorful buildings decked out with flower baskets. Marley allowed time for photo stops and answered our questions. His e-bikes were easy to operate and climb on and off.

The perfect way to see...

Lynne_L, Aug 2025
Miley is an amazing character, and very informative local guide, all delivered in a natural, fun and engaging manner. Get there 30 minutes early to enjoy coffee and home made pastries at 'Jo's Coffee'. This tour is truly not to be missed. Lynne & Philip.

Lovely afternoon in Kinsale

Kristy_N, Jul 2025
This was a lovely way to see Kinsale from many vantage points. We enjoyed learning more about the town’s history from a native (Miley).

Fabulous e-bike tour of Kinsale

FMichael_H, Jul 2025
This was a fabulous experience. We are experienced bikers and are not e-bike folks (at all). I must admit I was not particularly excited when my wife said she wanted to do the tour but I’m so glad she made the plan. Mylie (sp?) was a wonderful guide. He communicated lots of information in a genuinely personal way. He was fantastic This became an exceptional part of our trip - we will always remember it. Thanks for sharing this town with us by e-bike.

Beautiful way to see the city!

Jacqueline_H, Jul 2025
Mylie (sorry if I spelled that wrong) was awesome!! He was funny and full of knowledge. He was a great leader and showed us some amazing views. We got a sunny day so that definitely helped. You will be happy if you choose this excursion.

Highly recommend

Sean_J, Jul 2025
Highly recommend for anyone visiting Kinsale. Fantastic way to see the town and surrounding viewpoints with a top local and very knowledgeable guide who looked after us well. E bikes were awesome.

Mystical Bike Tour

Nathan_C, Jul 2025
We had a great experience biking around all parts of Kinsale. Miley was a fantastic guide, pointing out interesting historical details and taking us to views of the area offering beautiful and varied perspectives of the landscape. The electric bikes made the trip a breeze. Kinsale is breathtaking and we are so glad we got to enjoy it in this way.

Myley Murphy was an awesome tour guide. We had so much fun and learned so much from him… Kinsale is such a beautiful place. One of the true treasures on this planet.

Fantastic ride and unbelievable views of the town!

shannon_f, Jun 2025
Miley was amazing! Knowledgeable, friendly, informative, engaging and fun! As a native to Kinsale, he knew everyone we passed and was a wealth of information. Worth every penny!!

The best way to see Kinsale

Irene_B, May 2025
Don’t miss this tour. See all of Kinsale with this e-bike tour. Myles is a delightful tour guide full of knowledge about the town of Kinsale. We saw sights of Kinsale we would never have seen by foot. Beautiful scenic views and history of the town. The e-bikes were intuitive so even the inexperienced rider would be comfortable. One of the best things we’ve done in Ireland.

Highlight of our Ireland tour

Jason_M, May 2025
My son and friends did the ebike tour with Wewheel bikes. They spent a week in Ireland and this experience was one of the highlights of their trip. The tour guide was especially great to them and they loved the beauty of the Kinsale area. It was the favorite thing of the trip.

Best tour ever!

Amy_R, May 2025
Absolutely incredible experience with Miley today on a beautiful Saturday in May. Small group and literally saw the best of Kinsale in three hours! One of the best tours we’ve ever taken!!

This is such a great way...

Kevin_B, May 2025
This is such a great way to see the city. Miley was kind and knowledgeable and shared with us his love for Kinsale. Excellent views and an easy ride with nice gear and safety.

Ideal 3 hour tour of city possible with elec bike

n_n, May 2025
As prior reviews suggested, this tour does the impossible: see an entire city in 3 hours. You "see it all" at a relaxed pace, in a partially hilly terrain without the time/effort of walking/manual bike. Yay! Tour guide Mylie assured safe biking, helmet audio guide infused with smooth conversation with riders re regional culture/history, as well as charming interaction with locals showcasing the idyllic seaside charming tighknit Irish community.

Best tour

Smiley Miley was the best tour guide ever! We had an amazing time and experience in Kinsale. The bikes were wonderful , I want to buy one at home. Love this town.

Perfect Kinsale Bike Tour

Kelly_C, Sep 2024
This was the type tour we were hoping. We had a great guide in Mylie. He presented us with history and beautiful views. The bikes were simple and allowed us to visit much of Kinsale. We will do the tour again when time permits.

Best Experience on Trip - Fun and Informative!

Teresa_R, Sep 2024
After driving on the narrow streets of Kinsale I was having second thoughts about e-biking about. Owner and tour guide Mylie was quick to set me at ease with his caring and competent manner, assuring me that with his knowledge of the area and familiarity with locals our group would be safe and he was correct. Once we started the tour I was totally relaxed and was able to appreciate the beautiful views and Mylie’s unique and personal perspective of the history of the area as a life-long member of the Kinsale community where he is clearly respected and beloved. He took us to all of the best viewing spots, including one above the house in which his father still lives. In the middle of the tour we stopped at the bakery owned by Mylie and his wife and had the best baked goods of the trip! If I could award higher than 5 stars I would!

Smiley Miley's E-Bike tour of Kinsale

Linda_N, Aug 2024
This tour was wonderful! The owner and tour guide, Miley, was so personable and knowledgeable. He was raised in that adorable town and gave us such personal attention. We met some locals and we rode around to various sites on our electric bikes, maneuvering through beautiful areas that you could not see otherwise. I recommend this to everyone! I tried to download pictures with the beautiful views, and the cute little town, but they will not load.
