We spent a few exhilarating hours biking in the fresh air, through the countryside, along the water, into the hills, along the cliff path and through neighborhoods. Connor shared historical facts, local insights, some personal stories of his years in the area, and quirky anecdotes about the community from past and present. We made new friends, were treated like family, and I even got a wee Irish sunburn on my nose! A lovely and brilliant day!”

3.Bike & E-Bike Tour with a Local Guide

★★★★★★★★★★4.6 · 477 reviews · from $32Best value

Cycle through central Dublin with a local guide such as Laura or Hugh, passing Dublin Castle, St Patrick’s Cathedral, the Guinness Storehouse and Kilmainham Gaol. Choose a push bike or e-bike, hear local history and stories, and cover more ground than you could on foot. The group is capped at 12, but city traffic may not suit every cyclist.

“Laura was a very enthusiastic guide. She explained a lot about the various sights in a smooth manner and answered all questions. She also looked out for the group in traffic, a safe feeling if you cycle on the left for the first time ;-) Highly recommended for a quick and fun way to see something of the city and to be briefly informed about the highlights.”
