Overview

Doing a city tour by bicycle is a bit like a walking tour, but you get to see a whole lot more in the same amount of time. This tour is professionally led by a cyclist and qualified tour guide who was born and bred and lives in Dublin, so you get a local perspective of not just some famous highlights, but some lesser known hidden gems too! You can choose to hear live audio commentary on the move through a really neat custom designed App, and your guide can also provide you with a unique video route map, complete with captioned photos, video clips and music, sent to you after the tour via a secure personalised link as souvenir to share with friends and family and for memories to cherish!
