Amazing way to see Ireland~

Amazing way to see Ireland~
This was our first trip to Ireland and I would highly recommend this amazing company. They were so thorough, informative and helpful every step of the way. They put together a trip just as requested and filled it tons of great local tips and recommendations. 100% would do it again!

Ring of Kerry self guided bike tour

The location was amazing always a new stunning view over the next hill. The level of support including B&B booking, bike rental, custom and alternate cycle routes, and luggage transfers, were great. For our group this was the perfect level of support and guidance while still having the freedom to explore for with our own hikes and detours.

Don’t second guess a thing. They’ve got you.

I connected with IrelandWalkHikeBike through KimKim. They put me in touch with a local, Joe, who set us on our path of exploration. What an incredible adventure. Our accommodations were top notch, the food, exceptional. The part that really connected with me was the checkins. Every couple of days they would reach out, making sure all was going well, see if we had any questions, informed us of any changes, updates, things we needed to know about where we were going. Always inquiring about how things were from the last location. I appreciated having them with us along the way. It set them apart from the rest. I will be engaging their services from here on out. Thank you IWBH and Joe. Appreciate you all very much.

Kerry Way adventure

The process for booking was straight forward and easy. All accommodations were booked as promised and the luggage transfers were made timely. We were met at our lodging the first day in person and provided information we might need in case it was necessary to ask for assistance.

Kingdom of Kerry guided tour

I did the Kingdom of Kerry guided trip in May 2024. Wow…what a trip! Had such a great time. The beauty of the country is indescribably unless seen up close in person. I am Happy I used Ireland Walk Bike Hike. Everything was planned out perfectly. Accommodations for the trip were great. First stay was the Rose Hotel in Tralee which had wonderful breakfast and the dinner we had as a group there was excellent. It was nice that the owner of Ireland Walk Bike Hike met us for dinner our first night there. Our second stay in Killarney was at the Arbutus Hotel which was a lovely small hotel with a Pub downstairs that had nightly traditional Music. All the hike we had were great. It was nice having a guide knowledgeable of everything around us. My experience with Ireland Walk Bike Hike was a great one and I’m already looking at what trip I want to do next.

Antrim Way Self-Guided Tour

Excellent trip planned for us by IWHB! We went on a 7 day Antrim Way self-guided hiking tour and every detail was expertly arranged for us. The inns we stayed in were very nice with excellent food, the route directions were very detailed and easy to follow (especially with their app) and the routes were scenic with a variety of terrain. A special shout out to Paula and Daniel of Paula's Taxi that handled all of our transfers. They were so fun to visit with and were a wealth of local information! We hope to return someday and explore another area of Ireland and will definitely use IWHB again!

Having local knowledge

Having local people to arrange hotels was a great help, but I also appreciated that you checked in with me from time to time to see how it was going. Not over-communicating, but just knowing you were there if we needed anything. Perfect.

After our first superb experience in 2001 now again a fabulous Dingle Way trip

In 2001 I walked the Dingle Way for the first time with my wife. Then 23 years ago it was South West Walks the previous name of Ireland Walk Hike Bike arranged the B&B’s, the transfer of luggage and we were provided with topografic maps with descriptions of the way and beautiful view points.
Now 23 years later I walked part of the Dingle Way again now with a friend.
We had a great time and the service of Ireland Walk Hike Bike was again excellent.
In between I have walked most of their walks. I also can recommend the Sheep’s Head Way.

A really good experience

They showed extraordinary care in scheduling and consulting in the run-up to our self-guided hike. And the background materials they prepared were very interesting and helpful. Our only concern as self-guided walkers was the relative lack of detail and directions on a few of the hikes, as we were trying to convert Kms to miles. But overall, a really good experience!

Unforgetable Experience and Memories Made

Our Ladies Hiking Group booked, under Elaine Bona and group, a 6 hike 9 day adventure with Ireland Walk Hike Bike. There were 8 women in our group ranging in ages 53-73
We are members of a very active hiking group at home so we knew what we wanted to get out of our hikes and Ireland Walk Hike and Bike
Came through for us. They custom built our package to include everything we mentioned..churchs, beachs, mountains, ruins, architecture, scenery beyond our expectations.
Then they provided us with a guide, Sean Crean, so perfectly suited to our group that we could have hand picked him. Your guide is definitely the key to a very successful adventure. They can make or break your experience and Sean definitely made ours the success it was. Ask for him!
Our Accommodations, hosts, meals, towns we stayed in, transportation, drivers not to mention the hikes exceeded any expectations we could have had.
Can you imagine having the ability to keep 8 women happy with no complaints..Sean managed to accomplish this. He even endured a facial when we had our spa night! Lol
I have pictures!
We highly recommend this company for your next adventure to Ireland. They are very serious about what they do and your safety is always first and foremost with your very competent guide.
All their planning, down to the finest details, ran like clockwork.
Obviously, I can't say enough.
Book with them today if you are even thinking about doing Ireland in this way. You will not be disappointed. We have hundreds of photos and memories that will last forever.

Great cycle trip

We loved the routes. We thought being able to be in the depths of the countryside wonderful and then to be able to drop down to a bay. We enjoyed being taken off the more busy roads. The profiles were challenging (we are in our late 70s!) but perfect for us. It’s what we expected.
This was our first time on electric bikes so it was a great learning experience. We could never have done this tour with ordinary pedal bikes. We enjoyed learning how to manage the equipment. The bikes were obviously good and solid.
We liked the variety of accommodation. B&Bs were welcoming and we were able to learn more about the area from our hosts. Breakfasts were good. We also liked to be able to wander around the town to find an evening meal.
Hotels were excellent, if less personal. We had larger rooms and were able to eat an evening meal in their dining rooms. The mix was perfect for us.

Top notch team for trip planning, reservations and execution

The company was on top of everything From the initial planning through to the actual walks, lodging and transportation. I was particularly impressed with the care and effort that your team put in to customize our trip to meet our preferences in terms of things like hike difficulty, variety, and desire to not move around every night. The company navigation tools and the materials -- directions, maps, apps, route notes -- were extraordinary. It was also very helpful to have the company's suggestions on everything from where to get picnic lunches, to what sights to go out of our way to see and which to avoid, where to get dinner and where to hear music.

Nice time on the Kerry Way with support from IrelandWalkHikeBike

Reliable luggage service, great lodgings, good maps and instructions. Help en route when I needed it. Most of all the company's willingness to pivot when we had a medical issue. The Kerry Way was outstanding.

The Kerry Way

The route was beautiful with spectacular scenery of the mountains, sandy beaches and the sea, the accommodation was varied as would be expected in such a rural area but all of it was great, the staff at IrelandWalkHikeBike were really friendly and helpful as were the taxi drivers and all the people we met. The weather was incredible so we were very lucky here.
