Traveler reviews
Wonderful ride, great stories
Beautiful scenery, interesting background histories, Irish language & location treats, great stories, friendliness and laughs. My partner and I took our own bikes, and our daughter rode one of Gormú’s perfect e-bikes. We hope to come back and do it again once we are in a position to return to Ireland, maybe also in another season, or we will join one of the other adventures offered at Gormú, such as the bioluminniscence & story telling swim. Thank you Conor, also for your patience and thoughtfulness; and looking forward to also meet Celine next time! Conor loves what he is doing and this is what makes this so memorable. This is not just a nice concept for a small business, it is a calling. And: we have never been at Blarney, and I don’t think Conor has, but surely he has the ‘gift of the gab’! If you have a chance, we strongly recommend this tour!
Memorable tour.
Best experience of our trip! Conor was a delightful storyteller who shared the love of his country with my cousin and I on the eBike tour. Felt we experienced true Ireland. Conor made us feel like we were family. Bikes were comfortable and well maintained. HIGHLY recommend this tour.
Unforgettable experience
Everything that could be unforgettable and magical was delivered by both Conor and his stories and the endlessly, beautiful vistas he shared with us. The bikes made the ride comfortable, and virtually effortless. This is a great, special experience and not to be missed if you’re in West Cork
Not to be missed!
Myself and my partner managed to get a last minute booking on this tour and we are so glad that we did! I'm not sure that there is a better way to see the beautiful scenery of County Cork. The ebikes are really easy to ride and allowed us to cover much more ground than we would have done otherwise. It was a welcome break from driving and Conor took us to some beautiful places that we wouldn't have seen otherwise! It's much more than a bike tour (and would have been excellent even if it was just a bike tour!). Conor weaves local folklore and family history into the tour. He's a magical storyteller - I could see the characters and events playing out in front of me - and our group was enthralled. When we're next in County Cork we will absolutely be booking again with Gormú. This is not to be missed!!
Fantastic tour with a wonderful guide!
The bike tour was a highlight of our trip - Connor was a great guide with brilliant local knowledge - it was entertaining how every person we passed knew Connor. The folklore was engaging, the bikes easy to use - our first experience and now we all want an ebike - and the views were, as expected, incredible. We would highly recommend this to anybody.
