Way exceeded our expectations! We had a blast renting electric bikes for 1/2 day for a self guided tour with our teenage kids. We did the cliff walk all morning and were a bit tired. Thank goodness for electric bikes!! Janet was so nice to email with and when we arrived, had our bikes waiting for us. If we rented all day, they would have delivered to our hotel but this worked out better! She gave us a map and we rode all through gorgeous countryside roads in Kilfenora. Parts were so green with magnificent farmland, cows and horses. We passed a beautiful old church. Other areas looked like the Burren with rocky terrain. We passed very few cars and we all loved it. The bikes were excellent!! Top quality. It was our first time on an electric bike and I would not have enjoyed the hills without it! It’s super easy to learn and you can have as much “assist” as you want. We had to pedal but it was very easy and the electric part gave us the push that made it really fun!! We all gave this a 10!Brilliant Tour, Janet set up the bikes for us and plotted a route on quiet country lanes so that we could safely get to the main attractions of the Burren.

Brilliant Tour, Janet set up the bikes for us and plotted a route on quiet country lanes so that we could safely get to the main attractions of the Burren. She even gave advice on where we could stop along the way, cafés, etc. Overall we had a great day out and would recommend kilfenora as the ideal spot to begin your cycling tour of the Burren. The G Whizz shop is nicely stocked with books and postcards of the area, Janet even had stamps. Very impressed.My wife and I recently did the self guided tour.

My wife and I recently did the self guided tour. With the e-bike choice, you can seamlessly crank out a full day itinerary in the area while also having time to relax all along the way at the sites and cafes. If you go out to the perfumery, it is a bit of a climb, but you can turn it on power mode and crank through if you're having any issues. My 5 month pregnant wife looked very leisurely while climbing the hill on power mode. Scenery in the area is beautiful, traffic is light on the roads you travel, though you will be on lightly trafficked roads built for bikes for the most part. Nice feature of the bikes is that it is tracking your distance for you so it is easy to use the written directions and know that say, in 2 km, will come upon XYZ site.A fantastic day cycling around the Burren. Janet convinced us not to take our originally planned route and offered one more off the beaten track where we got to see a lot more of the Burren itself. Thank you Janet!

This was amazing! My husband and I had such a great time - we booked a trip on a week when our 3 tween-agers were at camp but they easily could have done this trip (and we actually ended up finding a different ebike tour to take them on in a different part of Ireland closer to our home base and they LOVED it). We opted for the self-guided trip just because of scheduling but would have loved to have taken one of Janet's guided tours. As it was, she gave us great suggestions of where to go - definitely go to Caherconnell! The equipment was awesome - I usually hate biking in the rain back home but with the ebikes I just had a permanent grin the whole time!This was an uncomparable opportunity to get into the Burren, so much better than any bus tour or drive-by. The equipment was top notch so the hills were no problem for us even tho we are "old." The support from the vendor was great; they even including a first aid kit in the saddlebag.
