Guided Bike Tours for Travellers from the USA & Canada

Many of our guests travel from the United States and Canada - Ireland is extremely well connected, with direct flights from many North American cities straight to Shannon and Dublin airports. Delta, American Airlines, United, Air Canada, and many more airlines fly direct.

For guided tour guests, having a local expert with you from day one removes every concern about navigating a new country. Our team also advises on getting from the airport to the tour start point and back at the end.
