1. The Sheefrey Pass Bike Tour
Overall Ratings
5.0 based on 3 reviews
Every day is your way. This tour takes you to the top of a dramatic mountain road (made easy on our electric bikes!). You'll then picnic at the top in ancient woodlands with breathtaking views. Then it's down down downhill all the way through a stunning natural valley and on to Ireland's only fjord, Killary Harbour. Here we can catch a boat to sample some locally-farmed mussels with Simon and Kate and take in the dramatic scenery of the mountains plunging into the sea, maybe wave at passing dolphins, otter, salmon or other wildlife along the way. You can opt for a local seaweed bath massage before heading home. Had too much fun, food or Guinness to cycle home? Relax, we‘ll drive. This trip is for making memories and taking home more than just pictures. For those who tried the Bangor Trail last year and raved about it, this is every bit as good!
Inclusions: Gourmet lunch with local cuisine. Quality electric and regular bikes. A guide with jeep support. All equipment necessary, including panniers, helmets etc. Maps and binoculars provided. All drinks and snacks provided. Waterproof clothing offered., Local guide, Hotel pickup and drop-off, Lunch, Bottled water, Coffee and/or Tea

We've been to Westport on quite a few occasions but not always hired bikes, the occasions we did have been the most enjoyable. We didn't know what our plans might be so decided to hire the bikes and just enjoy the countryside and Greenway. I'm over 60 and not the fittest specimen and my wife had back surgery earlier in the year so we didn't want anything to strenuous. Paul was happy to let us go along the Greenway but suggested an alternative on an old mountain road which offered better views. He gave us directions and options to shorten the route if we felt it was too difficult. We followed his advice and the road...to the end. It was worth the effort, the scenery was spectacular and, apart from a short stand off with some sheep, we were alone for quite a bit of the way with nothing but natural beauty everywhere we looked. We were blessed with great weather in November and enjoying the day so much we didn't pay much attention to time. Paul was prepared to come and pick us up but we set off from Mallaranny and managed to cycle back to Westport (turbo power may have been engaged). I'd encourage anyone to try Electric Escapes if you're going to Westport, cycling on an E-Bike was a great way to see this beautiful part of Ireland and Paul is a wonderful host.

This was by far the best tour we went on during our trip. All the places we visited are so beautiful and breathtaking. We were able to take our time at every location. We didn't feel rushed at all. James was the best guide. He is so knowledgeable. We learned so much about the history of Ireland and Northern Ireland. James is such cool guy and we are blessed we got to meet him. He recommended some great places. We are dying to go back. We will definitely be in touch for a future tour. We also did the Black taxi tour which is so interesting and informative. We recommend that as well, it is heartbreaking but very eyeopening. We are very glad to have had the opportunity to attend the Black taxi tour as well.

Explore the stunning and rugged scenery of Connemara in a privately chauffeured vehicle and take in some of the most spectacular scenic views in Ireland. Heading west from Galway city, the villages of Connemara will stretch out before you like a colorful road map of communities and hidden gems just waiting to be explored, from the bogs and lakes of the Gaelic speaking South Connemara to the mountain vistas of North and West Connemara. However, as dramatic and breathtaking as the landscape may be, all travelers know that memories and encounters are what make a journey unique and Connemara Chauffeurs will help make your visit to Connemara one that you will never forget.

Unfortunately due to COVID, our trip to IRELAND was canceled. However, I still wanted to leave a review to give praise to Eamonn. He was so incredibly knowledgeable, professional, and kind during all of our correspondence. I would recommend him just based on his honesty and integrity, he returned our deposit plus supplied me with websites to gain more information for our trip. I can't wait to get to Dublin to meet him and rely on his expertise to see the country. He made the trip planning seamless and stress-free! 5 stars well deserved.

If you love nature and would like to see the most scenic places in Ireland but don't fancy the crowded "off-the-shelf" tours, pick Ulla as your tour guide and let her drive you to Cliffs of Moher, The Connemara National Park and further. She is very knowledgeable about the surroundings of her hometown Galway and very flexible. If you wish to just sit on the cliffs of Moher and take in the beauty for a a while, you can do that or have a beer at a roadside pub, she'll give you time and space to do that also. She's also a very good driver and fun to be around. Definitely recommend exploring the magnificent west coast of Ireland with her!

I had such a wonderful time with Ulla, first of all she has such a beautiful personality with good sense of humor and she certainly knows all the hidden gems in the area of West Coast of Ireland, where an ordinary bus tour would never take you! I could not imagine taking a crowded bus tour to discover Ireland, I much prefer a private tour with a comfortable and safe car and a great tour guide who knows the area so well! I will definitely go back to Ulla and let her show me more of this amazing part of Ireland as this one day was clearly not enough!

Uvac is simply breathtaking place ,it is considered the most beautiful nature attraction that can be seen in Serbia. It is not frequently visited by tourists,which makes it very peaceful place to find inner pease. During summer season it is available to take a boat tour,along reserve so you can see Ledena-Ice cave,which is the part of the longest cave system in Serbia. Must see and enjoy the most beautiful view ever...
