Bike Tour Along The Historic Waterways Of Dublin
Overview
Available languages
Mobile ticket
This is the first and only bike tour that passes through both the city centre and outskirts of Dublin, availing of many little known cycleways through parkland and along rivers and canals. This is a unique way to see Dublin, while barely realising you are in the city, and all the while getting the benefit of fresh air and exercise without wearing yourself out.....unless you want to. The stories you will hear are more often little known than common, and offer fascinating glimpses into the murky past!

5.00We had such a blast on Ben’s tour! He curated such a beautiful route with views and fun bits of history. He was incredibly responsive and accommodating when there were last minute changes to our group as well. Ben also created an album, video, and route map of our day, which allowed us to be in the moment and not behind our cameras. 10/10 would recommend this tour or any that Ben runs :)
The Tolka Tour was amazing

5.00We had an amazing day with Ben on the Tolka Tour in & around Dublin. Ben was a spectacular guide giving us just the right amount of history & antidotes to make for a fun informative day of cycling & site seeing. If you have explored Dublin centre & are looking to see more this full day tour is a perfect way to see the area outside of the city centre. The lunch at the Grave Diggers pub was great & the pub itself is pretty cool. We highly recommend this tour especially if you want to see more of Dublin than the downtown.
Great Seaside Bike Tour

4.00Great tour along the shores of Dublin. The tour guide Ben was great with two assistants who took some great pictures they shared with us. The start was fairly slow and flat but ended with some steep hills to get the heart pumping.

4.00We had a fabulous time on this tour. Ben, our guide, was a total pro and absolute delight. He was very safe, an excellent communicator, shared interesting Irish history and took us all over the city and countryside. My only complaint, the bike was a little old and didn’t change gears or have any padding on the seat so for an all day excursion, a bit uncomfortable but overall a wonderful time!
Ben was awesome!!

5.00Ben was an amazing tour guide. We spent the day riding around Dublin. He was very knowledgeable about Dublin and Irish history. We picked his brain on many topic and had a great time engaging with him. He was accommodating to our biking abilities and made the day one of our best in Ireland. He also gave us good advice about hiking. We would definitely recommend this tour.
Unique and fun way to see and learn about Dublin and outskirts

5.00We had a fantastic time touring the waterways and neighborhoods of Dublin! A great way to see and learn about the city if you only have one day to spend and want to get some exercise and see places you can’t get to on foot. The e-bikes are a nice mix of light pedaling and electric power so you don’t have to work too hard. A couple people in our group of 6 had some minor issues with the Moby bikes and app, but nothing that Ben wasn’t able to fix. We spent about 7 hours cycling around the city and outskirts and stopped for a delicious pub lunch along the way. Ben was very knowledgeable and welcoming and a pleasure to spend the day with. Hope to be back to participate in one of his walking/hiking tours someday.
