An amazing and fun tour! - Our family did this tour in early April on our visit to Galway and loved it. Martin was fantastic at making sure that every need was accounted for from transportation to safety to the quality of the bicycles. The tour itself was beautiful and Martin was wonderful providing information about the local area. Martin himself was incredibly friendly and a joy to chat with. I highly recommend this tour.

BOOK THIS TOUR!!! - BOOK THIS TOUR !!! Our family of 4 was lucky enough to have the opportunity to hang out with Martin who guided us through an unforgettably stunning tour of Connemara on a 1/2 day e-bike tour. Pre-trip communication was top-notch; from initial communication, to helpful tips for a comfortable ride, weather checks and finally pick-up and drop-off locations, no detail was left unmentioned. Martin was great! Prompt, thoughtful, humorous, informative and accommodating. Our ride was safe and leisurely, perfect for all level of riders. We loved the tranquility of the ride and the region, especially stopping to pet some horses and gazing out at the sea while sipping on the hot cocoa and coffees we purchased from the lovely little town where we took a break. The e-bikes were a joy to ride, allowing each biker to customize their level of effort and the fat-tires added an extra level of stability and suspension that other e-bikes lack. Martin was even kind enough to take a lovely panoramic video of our family mid-ride... a great added touch! Such wonderful memories for our family and one of the highest-valued experiences we've had the pleasure of undertaking. I simply cannot recommend this tour more highly. Thank you, thank you, thank you, Martin!

Amazing Guide, Instruction, Bikes and Experience - As a member of a group of 9 travelers who had just met, this company made a truly fun and entertaining experience for all in the group. Only about half of the group had any experience on an e-bike, but by the time we finished the almost 2 hour bike in the Connemara area, we were all energized and bonded by such a good time , not to mention pretty proficient riding the 5 speed assist bikes. We all love the fat tire experience! Our guide was funny, an excellent instructor. He was attentive to everyone’s needs and safety. I’d highly recommend this company!

Beautiful biking through the bogs to the beach - Martin was awesome! From getting us started, safety first, Then the route through the bogs in the mist to a beautiful clear day alongside the ocean. Lunch at the delicious cafe. Great conversation, amazing suggestions for our following day. It was one of my favorite parts of my trip!

Get out and Ride! With Galway Fat Bike - Take a fat tire bike add electricity, the Irish countryside, family then shake it up with Martin and you’ve got yourself a great time! We planned for a full day in Connemara but the weather turned for the worse. Martin quickly worked with us to deliver a great riding experience to get a “Taste of it” - and the trip was FANTASTIC! And it’s not just the ride - from planning to pick up to travel to conversation to evening recommendations - Martin is on top of it all…. And safety is a clear priority (helmets, vests, instruction, and road navigation). We would do it all again!! Highly recommended. Family of 4.

Personalized fantastic bike tour of Connemara - What a great experience ! Martin pickled us up right at our accommodation in Salthill. The bikes are of very high quality and easy to ride. Martin is a great guide as he adapts his tour to our fitness level and also to special wishes (more biking, more sightseeing….). He knows Connemara and its history like his own pocket and you can feel that he loves sharing his knowledge and love to the country with you! We had a great coffee break with him where he gave us plenty other recommendations for other places to visit. Martin is very personable and friendly and we had a great time with him. An experience which I highly recommend to everyone who will visit Ireland and especially Connemara in a bit different way. Thanks a lot Martin!

Amazing views and unique experience! - This bike trip was so much fun! We got to see areas of Galway that you wouldn’t normally get to see. We stopped in an adorable coastal town and had a nice lunch. Martin was very nice and was always quick to respond via email with any questions we had. He is such a nice guy! The e-bikes make is a super easy and smooth ride that anyone can do. I highly recommend taking this tour when visiting Galway!

An ABSOLUTE must do tour in Galway!!!! - This tour is an ABSOLUTE must do whilst in Galway!!! Martin the tour guide is a one in a million kind of chap that makes it so much fun from the moment you meet him. We came back from the tour aching from laughter. He was super accommodating as we were a large group of varying abilities and nothing was to much trouble. He never rushed us and let us thoroughly enjoy every part of the tour. The bikes are amazing too. He recommended us to a few fabulous restaurants during our stay which did not disappoint! A trip to Galway without this tour is not a trip to Galway!!! Cheers Martin👍🏻

Amazing bike tour with Martin ! - We had an amazing bike tour with Martin! The bikes are great, we spent almost 3h biking and we had a quick break close to the sea just the time to have a hot chocolate and have a quick walk to discover the area. The landscapes were amazing, absolutely beautiful, we have the chance to see some cows and Connemara poneys as well! Definitely an activity we recommend :)
