Accommodation: Is on
a twin sharing basis in a mixture of family run Hotels
and guest houses with breakfasts included. On booking
we need to know whether sharing will be on a twin (two
beds) or double (one bed) basis. Due to the isolated nature
of several of the places we stay in, we cannot guarantee
the availability of single room accommodation. For people
coming on their own we will twin share them with another
single person on the tour. In exceptional cases we may
be able to provide one single room at a €195 supplement
for the week. This is strictly on a request basis only.
(the supplement for the Glens of Antrim tour is £145.00)
Distances: The average
cycling distance is an easy 30m (45km) with longer routes
being available each day. The safaris are suitable for
adults of all ages, but a certain level of fitness is
required and taking in a few practice rides is strongly
recommended. The tours are not suited for children under
13 years of age. The Ring of Kerry, the Highlands of Donegal
and the Antrim tours have more hills than the other routes
and are more suited to the keener cyclist.
Meals: The guide will recommend
a lunch stop each day where a snack lunch will cost between
€7 and €10. A group evening meal is also organised
by the guide each night which costs between €18
and €25.

A non-refundable deposit of €130 is required at time
of booking with the balance due 1 month prior to departure.
Cancellations made within 30 days of departure will be
charged in full.

Minimum Group Size: We
may have to cancel a tour date due to minimum numbers
being reached.
In the unlikely event of this happening we will be able
to offer you another group tour running that week, or
offer the original tour on a self led basis. Or naturally
we would fully refund the deposit if we had to cancel
the tour. We are not responsible for any ancilliary costs.
Complaints: In the, hopefully
unlikely, event of there being a complaint, we advise
you to direct any complaints to the tour guide on your
tour, in order to give us a chance to rectify the problem.
Complaints in writing must be sent within one month of
when the tour has finished.
Starting times: Each of
the tours start with a meeting of the group at 6.30pm
on the Saturday evening in a central hotel close to the
local train and bus station. This is only a meeting point,
typically the group will be staying in nearby guesthouses.
The guide is able to return to the meeting place at 9.30pm
again that evening and the following morning for those
arriving late. After an introductory talk the guide will
organise an evening meal and direct clients to their first
nights accommodation in the chosen bed & breakfast. |
