Very informative! Super easy riding (wife hadn’t been on a bike in decades). Great overview of the city.
Kathy_H, Apr 2026
We had a fantastic bike tour of Galway City and would highly recommend it. Our guide, Ivan, was extremely knowledgeable and took us to places we would never have found on our own. He was very attentive to our safety the entire time, which made us feel comfortable and well looked after.
There were only three of us on the tour, which made it feel very personal and relaxed. The bikes were in excellent condition, and we especially loved the two-way radios in the helmets, it made it easy to communicate and added to the overall experience.

Solveig_K, Oct 2025

It was awesome! Evan was so nice and careful with us! We went to all the hot spots. I highly recommend the company!
Christiana_R, Oct 2025
Evin! This biking tour is a must! Galway is a small city but this tour ensures you cover a lot of it. Plus it’s the best way to catch the sun when it peaks out through the clouds. You see all of Galways highlights, hidden gems, neighborhoods, as well as beach! Evin was the best. He was so helpful, insightful, and easygoing. A fantastic guide! Book this tour, you’ll be so glad you did!
Ted_K, Oct 2025
The e-bike tour was fantastic. A great way to see the city. Personal insight from Felix was awesome! Would highly recommend Felix for a tour when visiting Galway!!!
catherine_R, Sep 2025
What a day!! We had high gusts of wind, rain and sunshine. Oh wait… we’re in Ireland! Felix did a great job persevering through it all with a great attitude. His priority on safety first was sincere and he gave us a nice balance of history and modern day culture with a fun and easy e-bike ride! We had a great day and learned about beautiful Galway!
Jan_P, Sep 2025
The absolutely perfect immersive way to experience the best of Galway in a short period. Get out of the tourist quarter and explore the many historic and significant parts of Galway that make it so incredibly wonderful! Fresh air, a nice workout, and stunningly beautiful scenery and neighborhoods. Five stars for this tour, and for our guide, Ivan!
Bailey_T, Sep 2025
Our tour was so fun! Felix made it so fun and he was very knowledgeable!! He’s also a great photographer for when you need the perfect photo op! We highly recommend it if you want a quick tour of Galway!
Mary_S, Sep 2025
This was a great way to see parts of the city we wouldn’t have gotten to ourselves. Picturesque views of the water. Felix was a great guide and shared many historical and current facts!
Crystal_Z, Sep 2025
Felix and Alex were great. The tour provided us a side of Galway we hadn’t seen yet. Loved the food and pub recommendations along the way.
Blair_S, Aug 2025
The guide was knowledgeable and friendly. The ride through Salthill was worth it alone. Had a very lovely experience!
Jason_w, Aug 2025
We loved it. Informative and fun. Ivan was a great, enthusiastic host. We saw parts of Galway we never would have seen without him.
Jodi_S, Aug 2025
Good wait to initiate yourself to Galway. Covered a good amount of the city. Alex kept the group engaged by coming up with clever questions.
KelleyD_H, Aug 2025
This was so much fun!! Most of your group of 8 had not been on a Bicycle in many years, but Evan was kind and patient gave us a great tutorial on riding the e-bikes. We saw so much of Galway and Evan was very knowledgeable and helpful about places and things to do in Galway. We would highly recommend this tour!
Jeanne_D, Aug 2025
Excellent! Great way to see Galway!
Evan was an amazing guide- like riding with a friend who knew the town, its history, best places, and local charm.
Jennifer_O, Aug 2025
Fun and different way to see Galway city. The bikes were easy to maneuver. Loved the walkie talkie helmets.
mrspamelasherman, Aug 2025
My husband, son and I had a great time on this tour! It was a fun way to see Galway. Our guide, Dean, was very knowledgeable and did a terrific job!
Scot_D, Aug 2025
GREAT group of folks to work with! Booked early tour on-line, but cruise ship exit running late. Called and they just rebooked us for later tour. They recommended we walk the downtown pedestrian area while we waited, because bike tour was not allowed on that route. Perfect...got a real flavor for Galway & had lunch. Then tour was excellent.
We own e-bikes, so easy to use theirs, but, if you can ride a bike (regular or e-bike) you will enjoy. Bike helmets have built-in speakers & mics, so you hear descriptions as you ride and of course when you stop.
Our tour guide Dean, is actually from Galway and rode us past his Grandmother's house! All the stops (and drive-by's) were informative. Plus, weather was very nice.
Highly recommend this tour and operators.
Patrick_D, Jul 2025
Our guide, Ivan was outstanding. He led our tour through Galway and beyond providing just enough historical information and levity. As a road cyclist, I found the E bikeswere a bit heavy but they weregreat for a tour like this. All and all of this was an absolutely great experience and a perfect way to get the lay of the land in Galway and surrounds I would highly recommend it to anyone visiting.
alison_b, Jul 2025
Dean was great! I hadn’t ridden an e-bike and it was easy to understand. The ride around the city through neighborhoods and different areas was so lovely. I enjoyed it so much, I want to start riding at home! I’m so glad we did this!
Peggy_D, Jul 2025
We did the E-bike tour of Galway. It was great. We saw so much of the city in a short time. We enjoyed the speakers in our bike helmets so we could all hear the guide.
Erica_V, Jul 2025
Very informative history of Ireland and fun! Goes in depth and incorporates the surrounding area for historical context.
Emily_D, Jul 2025
Our guide was great. Our bikes were great. We were disappointed with the lack of Galway history. We did not bike into or walk, if needed, to Quay Street or Eyre Square. The craftsmanship of the walls & buildings have history, the economy & people/population have a story and we heard very little of it. The Long Walk was the best part of the tour for us because of the historical significance.
Response from Host, Jul 2025
Thank you so much for your feedback. We're really happy to hear that you enjoyed the bikes and had a great guide with you on the day.
We’re sorry, though, that the historical side of the tour didn’t quite live up to what you were hoping for. Galway has such a rich and fascinating past, and your points about the city’s architecture, people, and iconic spots like Eyre Square and Quay Street are absolutely valid. We completely understand how important that storytelling is to the overall experience.
Your comments are genuinely appreciated and will be taken on board as we continue to refine and improve the tour. Thanks again for sharing your thoughts — and for joining us in Galway.
Tod_L, Jul 2025
We did the tour on our first morning in Galway to get a feel for the town, and the tour couldn't have been better for that. Great views and an education of the town by our guide Ivan, who was super friendly and knowledgable. (And he's a BMX star!) We'd highly recommend this to everyone.
Patti_B, Jun 2025
Great tour! Ivan was en excellent guide - knowledgeable, funny, kind and helpful. There was a light rain, but it didn’t interfere with our tour or fun. We learned and saw a lot of Galway. Fantastic introduction to the city.
Darcy_C, Jun 2025
