Fabulous - The tour to Inisheer was fabulous! The guides were professional knowledgeable and full of fun. They easily accomodated my change from bike to horse pulled carriage. I would encourage folks traveling to Ireland to book a tour with them.

Biking, Scones and Good Craic! - We had a fabulous time biking around the smallest Arab Island on this tour! The tour guides from Ollie’s Tours were very friendly and interesting (Oisin and Marc) and made the tour loads of fun. The scenery was absolutely beautiful and the biking was a treat and a great way to see the island. We also greatly enjoyed our scones and tea at the end of the journey. Would definitely recommend this tour for anyone visiting the Wild Atlantic Way!

The tour is very well... - The tour is very well organised and absolutely worth joining. Within only few hours we got a great overview of the history of Inis Oírr. Our guide Sean was simply the best: friendly, funny, and always attentive. I can highly recommend this tour!

Cycling to the Aran.... Magic Ireland! - Despite the rainy weather, a beautiful experience on the smallest but no less impressive island of the Aran. We enjoyed a delicious Irish tea with homemade scones. Agilely by bike we moved from one side of the island to another discovering small treasures. Sean, a fun and knowledgeable guide, guided us on our bike ride. A different way to discover the Aran. Don't miss Doolin!

Great experience you won’t regret! - This was a wonderful experience well worth the money. Ollie’s tours was incredibly personable, well organized, and informative. Our bike guide Sean was a great person to spend our day with who was filled with humor and knowledge. Our driver Dean was funny, personable, and punctual. They not only drive you to the ferry but stop in a cute seashore town along the way for a quick coffee and food. The tea and scones were incredible and nice to already have a reservation after the bike ride. The owner will even come and let you ask him questions about living on the island at Sean and Ollie’s requests. The bike ride was enjoyable with a few hills, but there are E bikes available for an extra charge or you can opt to ride in a horse and carriage. We stopped at Gus O’Connor’s pub in Doolin on the way home for a brief lunch with was perfect after the rain to get some cozy food. Overall this tour is absolutely worth your money and time. It was a highlight of our time in Galway and we would do it again to just spend time with Sean and Dean!

If you want the real west of Ireland, with stories, laughter, and heart, go with Ollie’s Tours. - We first met Ollie in 2022 on his Cliffs of Moher walk—he was starting his business, full of warmth, humor, and local knowledge. This summer, we came back, and Ollie not only remembered us but made time to meet before our Aran Islands trip. That personal touch says it all. Eleanor guided both our Aran Islands and Cliffs tours. Even when the trip began in pouring rain and waves crashing on the dock, she had us laughing as she set up our bikes. Minutes later, the skies cleared and we enjoyed a perfect day. Eleanor’s wit and deep knowledge of the Burren made the experience unforgettable. We also met Osheen, who added his own cheerful, funny energy. Between Ollie, Eleanor, and Osheen, you feel like you’re out with friends who love sharing their home. Highly recommend—Ollie’s Tours captures the beauty of the west of Ireland with heart and plenty of Irish humor. If you want the real west of Ireland, with stories, laughter, and heart, go with Ollie’s Tours.

Honest Opinion - The guide, Simon, was great! The island itself is barren but interesting. The bicycles were not in great shape and one of us even had a chain break. The ferry service to the island was great but unfortunately, the water was very rough the day we went. The bike rental company had a big sign that said to make sure to wear your helmets but they never even offered us a helmet to wear! The cafe on the island where we had tea and scones was a bit chaotic but the family that ran it was lovely. I didn’t like the scones so I ordered a chicken sandwich which took about 15 minutes to get. It took so long that I had to take it to go so as not to miss the ferry back. Overall, we did learn a bit of the island’s history and enjoyed the bike ride but it was not our favorite activity in Ireland.
