Fabulous time. Great guide, lovely tour. - My boyfriend and I went with another (middle-aged and queer) couple on this and had an amazing time. Conor was warm, easygoing, friendly, and a very engaging teacher with excellent storytelling chops. The ride was gorgeous, ranging over farmlands, down little lanes we never would have discovered ourselves, went up and down rolling hills and along the coast, and the bikes made it all easy (and two of us were e-bike first-timers and one of us is not a regular cyclist at all). We learned a lot about Irish history, got a nice workout, saw some lovely countryside (and as a bonus had some delicious treats at the cafe) but most of all just really appreciated Conor's knowledge and generosity of spirit. Highly recommend.

Family adventure - What an adventure we had with Celine! This was an excellent way to see the nooks and crannies of beautiful Leap, Ireland. Celine was an amazing host, filling us in on stories from the past as we rode through trails and hills for four hours. Our teenage sons loved their first e-bike tour and had no problem getting used to the bikes. You do need to have a good level of fitness as the hills can be a bit strenuous at times, even with the e-bike. I highly recommend this experience. It was absolutely amazing, and we are still talking about it!

Family Bike Ride - Our family ended up having our own eBike adventure with the lovely Conor. He was a wonderful story teller, very knowledgeable about the rich Irish history, and even managed to get me a jacket from a local coffee shop to borrow as it was cold! This is truly a beautiful way to see and feel the culture. Canât get it in a car. Would do again and again! Thank you Conor!!

A MUST DO IN COUNTY CORK - well worth stopping by Union Hall just for this - natural beauty, history, folk lore! - A MUST DO if you're travelling around County Cork - worth stopping into Union Hall just for this. We did the 40km eBike tour and were blown away by the beauty of the local area and Conor's incredible knowledge of local history and folklore, all told with a big dose of Irish charm.
The ebikes are top notch - making even the steepest hills manageable. You can adjust the boost to give yourself a bit of a workout or effortlessly glide along as you fancy.
This was a real highlight of our week sailing around County Cork - don't miss out. For the best experience, make sure to add on the Bioluminescence swim tour. It's the BEST way to experience this magical phenomenon - sparkles galore, warm wetsuits and a gorgeous smoke fire fire to warm your body while the Irish stories warm your soul.
Thank you Conor & Celine - you made our trip â€ïž

eBike Adventure, 5 stars! - Conor was a fantastic host for our eBike adventure through West Cork. Conor is a wonderful storyteller that brought every site to life with the lore from the area. The eBikes were high quality and kept in excellent condition and we felt safe throughout. My husband and I completely enjoyed our adventure and meeting the other guests as well.

A great way to see the area & get some local lore! - Our guide Conor took great care of our safety and comfort as we cycled between each site on this impeccably curated tour. We hadn't anticipated the extent of the enjoyment, value & learning. Added to which was good humour, informed commentary and a much appreciated complimentary coffee (tea is an option!) at the halfway stage.
We intend to return for a GormĂș night swim admiring the bioluminescence later in the summer!
Thank you!
