Experience the luck of the Irish as you join us on a sweeping bicycle tour of the best of the Emerald Isle.

As you roll along the country’s rugged west coast, you’ll marvel at breathtaking natural wonders, from the Cliffs of Moher rising dramatically from the sea and the otherworldly landscapes of the Burren to the unspoiled Renyvle Peninsula and Connemara, Ireland's “Wild West.” Escape to the picturesque Aran Islands for an overnight. And immerse yourself in modern Ireland in dynamic Galway. Live Irish music, lively pub meals and plenty of opportunity to mingle with the locals ensure that you’ll truly touch the spirit of the Irish people.
