The Burren Electric Bike Tour with e-whizz was fantastic! The route took us through stunning landscapes, past historic sites and along scenic boreens. The map and directions provided were clear and easy to follow and the bikes were in fantastic condition and easy to use. The whole experience was really enjoyable.
The best way to see the Burren!

A fantastic day cycling around the Burren. Janet convinced us not to take our originally planned route and offered one more off the beaten track where we got to see a lot more of the Burren itself. Thank you Janet!

This was amazing! My husband and I had such a great time - we booked a trip on a week when our 3 tween-agers were at camp but they easily could have done this trip (and we actually ended up finding a different ebike tour to take them on in a different part of Ireland closer to our home base and they LOVED it). We opted for the self-guided trip just because of scheduling but would have loved to have taken one of Janet's guided tours. As it was, she gave us great suggestions of where to go - definitely go to Caherconnell! The equipment was awesome - I usually hate biking in the rain back home but with the ebikes I just had a permanent grin the whole time!
A favorite activity in our trip

This was an uncomparable opportunity to get into the Burren, so much better than any bus tour or drive-by. The equipment was top notch so the hills were no problem for us even tho we are "old." The support from the vendor was great; they even including a first aid kit in the saddlebag.
We had a wonderful ride...

We had a wonderful ride through The Burren. Janet was great - she made sure we knew the tricks of an e-bike, handed us helmets and high viz jackets and mapped out our route. I’d do the trip again in a heartbeat!
Highly Recommend!!!!

The self guided tour on the electric bike was fantastic. The bikes are so easy to cycle they simply glide alone with very little effort. It's a great way to get the full Burren experience ie, the smells and sounds of this beautiful unique part of Clare. Janet gave us very detailed easy to follow maps and recommend what to see and where to stop for lunch. Next time we're definitely taking the bikes out for the whole day!!!
Fun trip

We did the shorter 24 km eBike self tour. We enjoyed the scenery and the bikes made it very easy for our group of 23 year old to 59 year old.

The roads suggested by Janet were lightly traveled, so one could enjoy the scenery. The hills were easily handled with the help of the electric motor. The bike was well maintained, and a higher level than expected. 8 speed internal gear hub, motor mounted near the bottom bracket, hydraulic brakes, torque sensor to control assistance. Battery capacity was adequate for a day's ride. Map was provided with clear directions, and attractions were highlighted.
Great fun and great bikes
