The Best of the West

Combine our two week-long Ireland bicycling tours, The Magical South and From Clare to Connemara, and you have unearthed the formula for our ultimate fifteen-day adventure that celebrates the very best of Ireland’s unspoiled western shores. Why not sloooow down, take your time and discover The Best of the West in Ireland by bicycle. In the process, you’ll experience a dynamic range of awe-inspiring scenery and history – from Tipperary’s Golden Vale to Kerry’s lush forests and dramatic seascapes, from Clare’s limestone hills to Galway’s rugged mountains. It’s a grand excursion that highlights Eire’s amazing geographic contrasts!

Meander down rural lanes where Ireland’s history waits in the form of castles, churches and ancient memorials. From the seat of High Kings, to hidden field monuments, we’ll gladly share our knowledge of the country’s colorful past. Our “backdoor” routes into more acclaimed spots like Killarney and Dingle will also amaze you with views that others so often miss.

All the while, you can unwind and enjoy the high spirited way of life so customary in our daily encounters. Whether it’s a country pub brimming with traditional music, or a favorite eatery featuring the finest Irish cuisine, at our relaxed pace you’ll soon begin to appreciate the simple pleasures of our Irish friends. With small towns and villages as our touring base, we time our visits so you can explore areas of greater interest on your own. Aaahh... you’re finally on “Irish time.”

When we began over seventeen years ago, we offered just one tour of Ireland. This is it. We feel this classic adventure is still the best possible introduction to the Emerald Isle, with its emphasis on the rural West. Plus, as an added advantage of combining our two shorter tours, you receive a substantial price discount. If you have but one chance to see Ireland, make it the Best of the West. It will certainly be an adventure to remember!
