“Great bike tour by key spots in Dublin. The weather was perfect. The guide, Robbie, friendly and knowledgeable.”
You’ll ride a quality e-bike from Howth Harbour with guides such as Conor, Nikki, Karen, or Aileen. The three-hour route covers Sutton, the Martello Tower, Howth Head, Baily Lighthouse, quiet lanes, coastal paths, and wide views across Dublin Bay.
“Beautiful location with an informative and engaging guide. Ride always felt safe - no problems with traffic. E-bikes made the ride very easy.”
Cover Dublin’s main sights and lesser-known corners by push bike or e-bike with local guides such as Laura or Hugh. The small group, left-side traffic guidance, and relaxed route make this a useful first-day orientation, though you should be comfortable cycling on city streets.
“The tour was great, if you see the city with Gray and our guide was excellent”
Ride an e-bike or standard bicycle through central Dublin with guides such as Laura, Stephen, Jack, and Steve. Expect stops at Dublin Castle, Saint Patrick’s Cathedral, the Liberties, Guinness Gate, Kilmainham, and Christ Church Cathedral, plus city traffic and left-side riding.
“Our guides were fun and very knowledgeable. Really enjoyed seeing the city and learning some of the local history. Highly recommend!”
Rent a bicycle at Phoenix Park’s entrance for about seven hours and explore Dublin’s great city park at your own pace. Choose from adult bikes, children’s bikes, e-bikes, tandems, trailers, and a dog trailer. You receive a helmet, hi-vis jacket, map, and route advice, with no guide included.
“It was a blast seeing the beautiful parts of Phoenix Park. They didn't have our Viator reservation, though. Luckily, I had my ticket and proof of payment.”
Ride through Dublin with a Fáilte Ireland guide, covering the Liffey, canals, Georgian streets, parks, castles, cathedrals, and local pubs. Guides such as Robbie, Colin, Laura, Mike, and Simon bring history to life. Bikes, helmets, and high-visibility clothing are supplied.

Ride from Howth Harbour to Sutton, Baily Lighthouse, Ben of Howth, and the upper cliff roads with a local English-speaking guide. You will use an e-bike on paved roads and uneven trails, with stops for views, folklore, and photos. Good cycling balance is essential.
“Connor was an amazing guide and made the bike tour so much fun with interesting info along the way. It's about 20km, but it wasn't strenuous and felt like a leisurely ride as we had some short stops to admire the views. I highly recommend it!”
Pick a distillery, a headland or a coach heading west.
