About this experience
The story of Dublin comes alive as you explore the city on either a push bike or an electric bike. This 2.5-hour small group activity makes it possible for you to enjoy the sights and sounds of Dublin in a way that immerses you in Dublin life. Because e-bikes are used as well as push bikes, this fun activity is accessible to all. The tour company is fully insured and the idea behind the tour is that a large area can easily be covered, giving visitors a great orientation of the city in an informative, stress-free manner. A local guide will lead your tour and provide a history of the capital with a typical Dublin wit. See a side of Dublin that’s not typically mentioned in the guidebooks. The tour is designed for small groups (a maximum of 12 people), meaning that the tour is tailored in its approach, allowing for lots of time to ask questions. With the tales your guide has to tell, you most definitely will not be bored! There is no better way to explore a city than by cycling. Ride around the streets of Dublin on a bike and you’ll have lots of time and energy to take in more attractions afterward!
