A great tour if you are visiting Kinsale for the first time! This is the way to see the absolute best of Kinsale town and all the sights around Kinsale harbour. Using e-bikes, your guide will cycle with you around the coast, visiting mighty forts and beautiful beaches. From high level roads, we'll stop to enjoy views of Charles Fort, James Fort and we'll cycle through colourful, picturesque Kinsale. We'll visit Sandycove, where you can try to spot some of the wild goat population who live on Sandycove island. The pace is relaxed and the views are spectacular!
Please note that this cycle is best suited to confident cyclists who are comfortable with steep up and downhills and are happy to cycle in traffic.
Any remaining time not accounted for in the attractions list is spent cycling and exploring the Kinsale area by electric bike. This bike tour is a great way to see beyond Kinsale town.

Great morning. Lovely views of Kinsale harbour. Quiet roads. Coffee stop at Charles Fort. Our guide Ruth was great and had obvious concern for our safety. Lots of information about other things to see and do while in Kinsale.

This is a fantastic activity when visiting Kinsale! Ruth worked with us to schedule a private tour that would fit our time requirements. This is the perfect way to get an introduction to Kinsale. The route, the history Ruth shared, the conversation and overall experience that Ruth provided was just great! Our group of 4 couldn't have picked a better activity for us all to do together. Our 30+ year old's are still raving about it...definitely one of the highlights of our time in Kinsale!

1000% an absolute MUST DO activity when visiting Kinsale! We considered just renting bikes and exploring the town on our own, but this would have been a huge mistake. The route, history, conversation and overall experience that Ruth provided was spectacular. The tour is 2 hours, and includes a stop at a local coffee shop. We needed to cancel the coffee shop as we had a prior commitment that afternoon and Ruth was very accommodating, ensuring we didn't miss anything. We learned so much about the region, people, and community and got a number of great recommendations for the remainder of our time in Kinsale. THANK YOU SO MUCH RUTH!
