Aran Islands Half-Day Excursion from Doolin

Summary: Wife and I took the bike tour of Inisheer with Ollie. Upgraded to e bikes as never tried them and was worth the small extra, great fun, in reality was not a special stage of the TDF so regular bikes would have been fine. As for the tour Ollie was entertaining and a great guide, gave us fascinating insights into island life, past and present, and showed us points of interest on the island. The tour starts with a short ferry ride from Doolin to Inisheer and ends at the island’s small cafe for tea and cake. Would absolutely recommend doing this if you are on the West Coast of Ireland, Ollie, his team, and everyone we met on the island (as well as others in the small tour group) were charming and very welcoming.

Summary: My sister, daughter & I loved this experience! Simon was an amazingly knowledgeable and fun guide! My sister and daughter did the e-bikes but I did the pony cart. Both were excellent! Inisheer is beautiful, quaint and is steeped in history. The Guinness is excellent and so are the sweaters! We highly recommend this company and this tour!

Summary: A fantastic tour around Inisheer with Sean who brought the craic, was the craic and generally gave us a great time! Recommend!

Summary: Had an amazing trip from start to finish. Sean our guide was so pleasant and helpful. He ensured everyone was together and informed us all about the history of the island. He even thought the tour some Irish. Una's coffee and scones was a treat at the end. Highly recommended tour.

Summary: Local female guide was friendly, informed and helpful. Truly a great experience.

Summary: Great experience! Sean was a great tour guide and kept us entertained with stories of the island. We were happy to be able to have a combo of e-bikes and regular ones. The ride isn’t terribly strenuous, but the option was great for the members of our group that were less physically fit. The scones were a wonderful way to wrap up the tour. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a great outdoor experience.

Summary: Sean was an absolute gem. He is so organized, enthusiastic, charismatic and hilarious. We learned a ton and had so much fun. We had the best day on the island Sean and Freya helped me organize a 25th wedding anniversary renewal and surprised my husband. Sean was like a paid actor distracting my husband while we got things arranged. He was brilliant Everything was perfect.

Summary: Wonderful experience and views. Our guide was amazing! Thank you Cearbhuil for the great day!

Summary: Cearbhuil was an amazing guide! We had such a wonderful time and saw amazing sites! Cearbhuil shared so many amazing stories about the island and the islanders! We would highly recommend the tour!

Summary: Our family had the most wonderful experience touring around Inis Oirr with our incredible guide, Cearbhuil. From the moment we met her, she made us feel like we were spending the day with an old friend rather than taking a guided tour. She was personable, funny, knowledgeable, and so engaging that every stop along the way became memorable. What made this experience truly special was how she brought Ireland to life. She shared fascinating history and local stories, taught us bits of the traditional Irish language, and gave us a deeper appreciation not only for the island we were exploring but for Ireland as a whole. Her passion for her country was contagious, and it made every conversation even more meaningful. She was also absolutely fantastic with our three kids (ages 8, 11, 13). She kept them involved with fun conversations, jokes, and little moments throughout the day, making sure they felt just as much a part of the experience as the adults. It never felt like she was following a script; she genuinely connected with all of us, adapting the day to our interests and making everyone feel included. Along the way, we shared stories about our families, laughed constantly, and created memories that we'll treasure for years to come. By the end of the tour, it honestly felt like we were saying goodbye to a friend. This wasn't just a sightseeing tour; it was one of the highlights of our trip to Ireland, and it's an experience we'll never forget. Thank you to Ollie's Tours for making our visit so special, and especially to Cearbhuil for giving our family such an unforgettable day. And one last thing... Go Limerick in the All-Ireland hurling match tomorrow (Sorry, Ollie)! ☘️
