Irelands Aran Islands Tour
What a great day! Our guide was excellent and the group size of 8 people perfect. The difficulty and distance for cycling was minimal, leaving lots of time for an interesting visit to the smaller Aran island, with the knowledgable tour guide filling in the spaces with stories, history and interesting tidbits. Very worthwhile.
Great day trip from Galway
Fantastic day starting from Galway with a small group, traveling to Aran islands via ferry, and then a bike tour around the island. Deirdre was an incredible tour guide - knowledgeable, kind, and entertaining! Highly recommend.
Come for bikes & scones. Leave with memories!
Just got back from our all day trip with Dee (Dierdre). She was an absolute joy. Gave us lots of extra information about Irish culture and heritage and answered every question (and even sang us a song). The weather on the day was absolutely in our favour even though the ferry ride to the island was a bit choppy at first. The scones were delicious too! Thanks for a lovely experience.
Incredible Aran Islands Experience – A Trip Highlight
This was by far my favorite experience in Ireland. The Aran Islands felt like stepping into another world—so unique, beautiful, and unlike anywhere else we visited. We loved biking around the island, taking in the incredible views, and learning about the history of the people, landmarks, and landscape. The scone experience was a wonderful touch, and getting to speak with island locals about life on the island made the day even more special and authentic. A quick note: the ferry ride can be quite rough, so anyone prone to seasickness should come prepared. That said, it was absolutely worth it. One of the best and most memorable days of our vacation. Highly recommend!
Bike Ride on Aran Island
Phill and Dee were amazing tour guides!!! I really loved their stories and banter. Even though one of our party wasn’t the best biker, they made the bike ride as easy as possible without making anyone feel bad. It was really just completely kind. Please take this tour!!
