5Perfect e-bike tour
We were a group of six ladies who had never e-biked before and there was definitely some trepidation before we started. However, our guide Amanda was totally amazing. She made us all very comfortable with the bikes, she was so kind and patient. It was a perfect way to see the incredible scenery of the area, beautiful views at every turn. Amanda was very knowledgeable and was able to tell us so much history along with some legends and myths thrown in. Having rain turn into sun just made it even better! We cannot recommend this tour highly enough. Thank you Amanda!!
5Great ride!
Cathal was a wonderful guide and host. We had rain and clouds but the experience was rewarding and fun. In our group of 8, no one complained about the poor conditions once we got going (they were sniveling a bit before we got started as it rained harder than all the time we had been in Ireland). The bikes were in great shape.
1Trip cancelled without notification.
We booked through Trip Advisor. Our trip was cancelled and we were not notified about the cancellation. We were able to connect with the tour operator when we arrived, who was very pleasant and offered options for other things to do in the area. He was aware that the trip was cancelled. My money was only refunded after I contacted Trip Advisor. I continued to get emails asking me to review the trip.
5First Time on an e-bike
First time on an e-bike and loved it. Cathal was a fantastic guide with a huge amount of knowledge of the local area. We visited some beautiful sites and enjoyed the tales from Cathal along the way. Would highly recommend booking if you are in the area.
4Discover the inner landscapes of Donegal
We enjoyed this tour thanks Carl and it was great to see inner landscapes in Donegal County and hear the history and stories. The weather played nice....would recommend this tour to others who have some experience biking. Remember to bring midge spray and it will be difficult if you've not ridden a bike!
5A fabulous morning’s activity!
We, a family of 4 adults had a brilliant morning’s guided tour on the e-bikes! I think we covered about 40km in 3 hours and saw so much more of the area than we would’ve done walking or on our own. The bikes were easy to use, a full instructions and safety equipment provided. I even looked forward to the hills! Cal was really friendly and a great tour guide with lots of information and stories about the area that we’d never visited before. We were very lucky with the weather and the scenery was amazing. Would highly recommend this activity.

About Donegal
Donegal is a harbour town at the head of Donegal Bay in north-west Ireland, with a fifteenth-century castle and wild Atlantic coast around it.
Donegal town stands where the River Eske meets Donegal Bay, in the far north-west of Ireland. The Diamond, a triangular market square with an obelisk, is the centre, and Donegal Castle, a fifteenth-century O'Donnell stronghold with a seventeenth-century wing, stands beside the river. Nearby, the ruins of a Franciscan friary recall the Four Masters, who compiled Irish annals in the 1630s.
