Guided, Supported Group Bike Tours in Ireland

The Iron Donkey has 4 guided group itineraries in Ireland:

» Connemara & The Aran Islands (7 nights)

» Clare & The Burren (7 nights)

» The Kingdom of Kerry (7 nights)

» The Causeway Coast & Glens of Antrim (7 nights)

At €1375 per rider, to include great hotel accommodation, bike rental, all breakfasts and 6 dinners, sag support and guide, route options, and more, it is very unlikely that you will find comparable tours that come close to matching these for value!

Accompanied by a sag wagon throughout, the tours are suitable for a wide range of experience levels – from relative newcomers to hardcore cyclists.

The tours will appeal in particular to those who enjoy group dynamics and the opportunity to make new friends, to those who are looking for the greater levelGuided Group bike tours ireland bicycle cycle touring self guided vacations Iron Donkey of support offered by a guided tour, and to couples or groups where the level of cycling ability and/or ambition varies from one individual to another.

The tours are relaxed – with each rider able to decide just how far he or she wants to pedal every day. With a couple of two-day stopovers, there are also opportunities to take a day or half a day out of the saddle for other activities.
Accommodation is in quality hotels, and evening meals and breakfasts are provided as part of the package.

As the architect of all the Iron Donkey touring programs, Tony Boyd is the ideal guide for these tours. Tony is in his element when revealing the many hidden byways and backroads discovered during the research and development of the Iron Donkey routes. As a native, he can give you the kind of insight into the history, politics and culture of the country that can only be gained through first hand experience.
