5.00Very enjoyable... especially as we used the e-bikes! Loved the scenery and sights we rode through. A few stops here and there to learn the history and significance of the area was great to learn too. Our guide Ruth was excellent in all aspects! Also, loved how she came right out to the starting point with all the bikes in the van so were we ready to go from the get go.
No better way to see all of Kinsale!

5.00Ruth was our tour guide and she was GREAT! She took us all over Kinsale: up high above the town with beautiful views, across the river to the beach, another swimming hole down a country road, up to the Charles fort, stopped for a coffee/cookie, and back into town. We had beautiful weather when we went too plus the tide was high. So the views were spectacular. This tour was definitely the highlight of our time in Kinsale.

5.00Awesome adventure! It was longer than I expected. It turned out to be about 70 miles over 2 days. However, it was beautiful, fun and your on e-bikes. Melrose BnB in Clonakilty was really nice(Ruth sets this up for you). Only a mile out of town so an easy walk for dinner and a well deserved pint. Slept great since it was so quiet. Wonderful breakfast before our return to Kinsale via a different route seeing even more of the beauty. Ruth was incredible. She was easy to keep contact with prior to our arrival and was able to adjust our booking due to a change in our group number. Why see this country from a car? If you like a little exercise on your trips, this is for you!!

5.00My gut told me to cancel the ride after many days of traveling on narrow, winding roads. When we arrived at the departure point, I shared my second thoughts with Ruth, mentioning the heavy traffic. She reassured me that we could take quieter routes and turn back if I felt uncomfortable at any point. We decided to go ahead, and I’m certainly glad we did. The views and stops along the way were stunning, and the route Ruth chose was well within our comfort zone. Don’t get me wrong, the roads were narrow, and the hills were steep, but Ruth’s navigation, the drivers yielding for us, and being on e-bikes made it an enjoyable two-plus hour ride.
