Do yourself a favour and book this tour! - Do yourself a favour and do this tour!! Loved every minute, Ollie is such a character and showcases Inis Oirr through accessible history along with funny stories from his childhood. The perfect insight into life on the island! Ollie really looked after everyone in the group individually and although I did it solo, everyone on the tour was laughing and having a pint at the end, facilitated by Ollie’s inclusion! The homemade scones with a local family run cafe, where Ollie organised the owner to come and give his perspective on living on Inis Oirr, was just an another amazing element. I upgraded to the e-bike and was happy I did, some of the hills are difficult so this just let me enjoy the experience that bit more. Those with high fitness levels wouldn’t be fazed by them though! Couldn’t recommend this tour enough!

Awesome tour! - This was so fun! Beautiful sights, and so much history given by our guide, Cearbhuil. She was very personable and let us go at our own pace. She knew so much about the island and made the experience so enjoyable.

Foran Family Heritage tour - What an amazing trip! Dean confirmed the day before Simon and Cearbhuil were outstanding tour guides. So much knowledge of history and culture. This was our second time to the island from the states. We loved it so much we wanted to include it in our family heritage tour.

Caruil, Dean, and a dog named Larry - Caruil, Dean and a dog named Larry gave an amazing tour of Inisheer. Repeated efforts to frustrate Dean by going the wrong way were handled with great comeback jokes. Great guides!

We had a terrific... - We had a terrific experience with Phil and Cearbhuil. A manageable but bumpy surf to the Island, was followed by a smooth and enjoable ride through the countryside. Phil provide some informative details about the terrain, the history and the island people. A pint and scones to finish the trip but a wonderful cap on the day. Highly recommend as the bike ride is not too strenuous for kids 7 and above, and adults.

Great experience touring Inisheer by bike! - Amazing experience to tour Inisheer by bike! The weather was terrible most of the day but once we got riding we had a blast with our group! Sean was a great guide with fun stories and perspectives that made the tour the fun experience that it was. If nothing else though, go for the after tour scones and coffee. Una is a delight and the scones are amazing. Your experience in Doolin must include this tour. My advice is definitely splurge for the e-bike upgrade. The island is quite hilly and the assist going uphill is worth the €20.

The Sea Was Angry - A great day with our guide Dean. Pickup in Galway was smooth as we joined two other couples for the day’s adventures. Dean knew to make a pitstop for coffee and washrooms and told us all the history necessary for our visit to the area. He could not control the sea though!! We made it to and from Inisheer but no close up for the Cliffs of Moher. It was ok as he made the most with fresh scones and shopping time. Thank you Dean.

Lovely island tour - We had a lovely tour on Inisheer by bike and guided by Eleanor. She had insightfull stories about the area which were delivered in a funny and engaging way. Highlights were the visit of the Plassey Shipwreck and the scones at café Una, where we learned more about daily island life in Ireland.
