We enjoyed this experience as an entry into Galway. Evyn was our guide and he was really nice. We toured a good portion of the city, taking stops for pictures and exploration along the way. My whole family enjoyed it and would recommend as a different way to see the city. It was a lot of fun!

Scenic and Informative

Paul_C, Sep 2026
Saw and learned a lot about Galway. This was a nice paced tour. I'm writing this text because I have to enter at least 100 characters. :(

Unfortunate

Tracey_R, Sep 2026
Do not book if there is a chance your flight may be delayed. I messaged as soon as I knew our plane would be late and miss the connection into Ireland. I emailed Viator and the guide. Victor said they would check with the guide...the guide said he would not allow me to change the tour date because it was not more than 24 hours. Very unfortunate with this tour. Everything that was effected by the flight delay was either reimbursed or times changed. I understand there are rules...but there can also be accommodations for situations out of our control. IMO.

Great ride in Galway.

Jeff_H, Aug 2026
Felix is a great tour guide. The bikes are easy to use and the radio communications are a great idea.

Great local advice and suggestions

Excellent tour! Definitely felt like you have a local friend take you around and showing your around.

Grand Way to See Galway

MARK_K, Jul 2026
We opted for the e-bike tour of Galway to stay away from museum and castle tours and to get a taste of what the people of Galway do for recreation. Felix was a great tour guide and kept us entertained with his stories about the history of Galway and its residents. The weather was grand as they say in Ireland. Strongly recommend this tour.

Wonderful day!

SCOTT_W, May 2026
Ivan was a wonderful tour guide! He was knowledgeable, friendly, and had a calm demeanor as he lead us through the streets of Galway. The ebikes and “walkie talkie” helmets were great and we were fortunate with nice weather. Highly recommend!

Awesome! Great way to explore

Keith_K, Apr 2026
Very informative! Super easy riding (wife hadn’t been on a bike in decades). Great overview of the city.

A great way to see Galway!

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.

Highly reccomend this

Tara_W, Oct 2025

Galway by bike is a must

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!

Galway City Sights

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!!!

Fun wheeling through wind and rain!

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!

Galway Beyond the Tourist Quarter

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!

Felix was the best!!

Bailey_T, 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.

Good rode around the city.

The guide was knowledgeable and friendly. The ride through Salthill was worth it alone. Had a very lovely experience!

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.
