Tour 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 €185 supplement for the week. This
is strictly on a request basis only. (the supplement for
the Glens of Antrim tour is £135.00)
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 and fitness levels but the tours are
not suited for children under 13 years of age. The Ring
of Kerry, the Highlands of Donegal and the Derry air tours
have more hills than the other routes.
