We were given almost 2 hours to explore the island of Inisheer and we chose to rent e-bikes which allowed us to cover a lot of ground without being rushed. Our guide, Gerry, was very knowledgeable with a great sense of humor and paced the trip perfectly. (There were a few other short stops for photo opportunities.)Read more”
