Honeymoon Special Cycling Tour

Self-guided cycling tour in Ireland

This cycling circle was specially designed with honeymoon couples in mind, mixing a variety of accommodations, but offering a last night in a splendid and romantic castle or manor house hotel. It is, however, also ideal for anyone wanting a unique cycling tour, which offers a chance to explore Connemara and stay in a variety of guesthouses, hotels, and as a treat a night in a castle hotel.
    Starting any day of the week, this is truly independent programme. All luggage transport is provided. Several choices are there to decide from and you will take a route both inland and along the coastal region of Connemara, Ireland. We provide well chosen pre-booked accommodation as well as luxurious Cannondale bikes and any equipment that is needed. Detailed route notes and maps and the assurance of an emergency break-down service combine to make this a most wonderful active honeymoon.
