WHAT A GREAT RIDE!!!
My twenty something daughter and I just got back from an amazing Connemara biking self- guided tour with Green Marble / West Ireland Cycling Tours. What an AMAZING EXPERIENCE! We had the best time! From Toni who picked us up in Galway and got us fitted on our bikes and settled in our first town to Matt who picked us up after five days of biking and dropped us back off in Galway- the entire trip was fun- despite some occasional challenging weather. The views were AMAZING and the B&B’s great - especially Kingstown B&B in Clifden. Regina, the proprietor was THE BEST!! Absolutely recommend this company! Top marks!

First cycle of Ireland
We spent 4 nights (three days cycling) with Green Marble Tours. The bike working company with them (West Ireland Cycling) were brilliant. They were very helpful and informative. Toni and Mathew bent over backwards for us, as our experience was garnished with Ireland’s finest winds, and rains. We had an adventure for sure, but always rested well in the accommodations that were arranged.The tour was extremely well organized, with maps and instructions that were well laid out. Our final stay at Quay House in Clifden was brilliant. The art and history in each of the well appointed rooms were stunning. So happy that we booked two nights there, as one night would not have been enough. Our final ride in Clifden was in the sun, with minimal wind, on the Sky Road loop. It came highly recommended and did not disappoint! We look forward to either returning to this area, or take in another Green Marble Tour!Thank you so much!Theresa and Jim (McGrath) WooleyBritish Columbia, Canada

Jewels of Connemara
My wife and I took a self-guided tour of Connemara in August. Green Marble Tours provided great bikes, comprehensive routes and highlights, and all the logistics we needed. We experienced great communication and support from John and Wilma before and after our trip.Highly recommend Green Marble Tours for your first or next cycling adventure. We can't wait to do it again!

Amazing "Wild Atlantic Way" by bike on the West of Ireland
On this trip - 7 days "Wild Atlantic Way" - no wishes remained unfulfilled.Green Marble Tours had perfectly prepared the trip and the rental bikes were in excellent condition. Thanks to the perfect documentation and the .GPX-files we were able to find our way easily.The route was chosen very well and included many scenic and cultural highlights. Not only the well-known 'Cliffs of Moher' but also the solitude of the Burren and the place in the Connemara bog where the first transatlantic flight in 1919 came to an unplanned but nonetheless good ending.The only "suggestion for improvement" from our side would be, to book an earlier ferry from Inishmore to Rossaveel, if possible. On this day we were a bit concerned whether we would arrive at our Destination im Clifden on time, since we could only start our trip after 1 PM due to the schedule of the ferry. In the end this was not a problem, as the days are long enough in June. However, the dreamy 'Lord of the Rings' landscape on the way to Clifden definitely deserves to be traversed with ample time for admiration (and taking pictures).Of course, travelling outdoor one always has to expect to get a bit wet in Ireland, but we knew this in advance and one can always hope to dry off the same day again.

Amazing Cycling
Thank you, Green Marble Tours, for 18 amazing days of cycling. Your routes took advantage of your knowledge of the backroads and lanes, which resulted in simply beautiful cycling. The B&Bs were all five-star, with warm and friendly hosts and excellent breakfasts. Even though I was self-supported, I knew that you were only a text away. I have been touring for over 30 years and have worked with various companies, and you are the best.

A great way to enjoy the West of Ireland to the fullest
Our tour, the 7 day/8 night Connemara and Burren trip, was a fantastic balance of spectacular coastlines, inland fjords and lakes, an excursion to the Aran islands, biking and hiking along the cliffs of Moher, and a venture through the amazing Burren landscape. We loved the self-guided format, which provided a perfect blend of support (routes, curated hotels, guidance on great things to see, places to eat), chances to interact with local people (not bound to a group tour of other tourists), and flexibility (free to adapt our day to our wishes). The routes took us on lovely backroads with minimal (and quite courteous) traffic. Most days had options for routes, depending on our energy level, interest and weather. The small hotels and B&B’s that they booked us into were varied and all wonderful. The luggage transfers were flawless. The tips for eating and excursions were great. The trip was all that we had hoped for, and it was substantially more affordable than full-guided options. We rented road bikes from the company which, like most bikes that we saw in Ireland, were heavy, with heavy duty big tires (with inner tubes and high pressure), racks for panniers (which we did not use after the first two days), and (for one bike) a heavy kickstand. If someone wants a lighter bike, possibly with a more supple tubeless setup and/or without a rack, that might take some special planning.

Great experience! Highly recommend!
This was such an amazing trip and far exceeded my expectations. I would love to come again some day and spend more time at each stop. There are great options for distance. I'm not super fit but did just fine and loved it. There are e-bikes which I imagine make it even more accessible. If you are thinking about a trip you HAVE to do it!

Wonderful Wild Atlantic Way Tour
Our group of 8 just finished a customized 10 day Wild Atlantic Way bike tour with Green Marble. The trip was amazing and thourghly enjoyed by our group. The B&B's were all wonderful serving great breakfasts. The bikes were in new and excellent working condition. Wilma and the group were fantastic to work with, responding to messages very promptly. We really appreciated how they accommodated us when 2 members were unable to do the bike rides. Excellent value for the money. Would use again and highly recommend Green Marble Tours.

Outstanding bike trip in Ireland with Green Marble Tours
My girlfriends and I chose to do a self-guided bike trip in Ireland, and the best decision we made was to contact Green Marble Tours. Even with the time difference (we are in the United States), all of our numerous questions were responded to quickly; great suggestions were made, and ultimately the trip that Wilma suggested for us was the perfect trip! Matt at the bike shop was terrific when we came to be fitted for our e-bikes (which were amazing) and shown how to use them; Dave who transported us to our starting point, and provided all the instructions was really thorough and left us feeling confident; the hotels we stayed in along the route were clean, comfortable, and the staff was helpful.We highly recommend Green Marble Tours - they do self-guided trips, but also guided trips.Thank you Wilma and team for giving us such a great adventure!
