Aran bike tour - Highly recommend this tour. Ollie was a great tour guide, he went out of his way to make sure we had a great time. Very helpful, informative and great fun cycling round the island despite the weather. Thank you

Awesome Aran Islands Experience! - This was a spectacular trip. Our driver and guide (Phill) was so fun to spend the day with (and didn't mind geeking out on history with me). The pick up from Galway was super easy, as was the ferry trip over and getting the bikes for the island exploration. The biking wasn't too difficult and the sites we saw were incredible - a shipwrecked WWII minesweeper, a sunken church, and a castle/ring fort. Phill gave us the history of each site as we progressed and kept it fun and engaging. I ADORED the tea and scones (possibly the most delicious scones I had while in Ireland), as well as chatting with and learning from a local. Overall, this was one of our Ireland trip highlights and I would highly recommend it to anyone!

Great tour and great guide! - We had an excellent time with Phil on our day tour. He was very informative and engaging. He made several stops along the way to the ferry, giving us great photo ops and stories. It was a foggy and rainy day but that didn't stop the bike tour. We opted not to do the cliffs ferry ride given the choppiness of the water, but were still very pleased with the overall experience.

Aran Islands - In spite of terrible weather the tour was great. Ollie was accommodating and did everything he could to make the tour enjoyable. It was timely and carefree. The folks at the Cafe were super friendly and informative as well.

Phil was Incredible - Phil was such an amazing tour guide! He was so understanding and helpful, very friendly and always cheerful! He gave us a spectacular tour of the Aran Islands and was accommodating the needs of everyone in the group. At the end we had to take a family member to a doctor’s appointment, and he offered to drive us there while ferrying other people back to the house! He really went above and beyond, and I can’t rate my experience with him highly enough. 10 out of five stars! Thanks Phil!

Awesome Inisheer, awesome Ollie’s Tours! - We had a fantastic tour today from Galway to the Aran Island of Inisheer. Our driver Phil was extremely knowledgeable and very entertaining as well as being a very safe and professional driver. Ollie was able to transfer our luggage from Galway to our hotel in Doolin so we actually wound up in Doolin that evening. I can’t think of a better tour experience than the one we had with Ollie’s Tours today to the beautiful island of Inisheer.

The best overall experience from Galway! - We had the best time! Ollie Tours are amazing. From the moment we were picked up, the bike tour, the scones, and the drive back was so much fun. We loved the small group experience.

Our day started out right... - Our day started out right on time with Ollie full of energy and ready for the day. We had a great, easy ride out to Doolin to meet the ferry and our guide Tommy. Tommy was amazing! He was so full of knowledge, fun and great company. It was perfect weather for the Aran Islands and biking. We learned a lot and enjoyed our time on the islands and then walking around Doolin in the afternoon. Overall a fantastic day!

Amazing day! - Outstanding! We had the best day ever with Phil as our guide! Not only did we bike the gorgeos Aran Islands but we stopped along the way to see small towns, take in beautiful views, and hear lots of stories. Phil's humor was perfect for our group. We were totally impressed with how he shared his knowledge of the area and history. He also made all 9 lights on the way back to Galway! Truly one of the highlights of or trip!

Great experience - Taking the ferry to and doing the e-bike tour was a great way to experience one of the Aran islands. Our guide, Sophia was knowledgeable and very nice. The bike tour was a great way to see the island and learn about the history. The cafe at the end was wonderful and the family who owns it took special care to provide time to share about life on an island with only 350 residents. The scones were amazing.
