County Kerry Self-Guided Cycling

The tour is 7 days long with 5 days of cycling.

This is a self-guided trip for those who prefer to cycle independently, but with assistance to take out the stress of the logistics and planning. Your accommodation is arranged, you are provided with a map and route notes so that you can cycle at your own pace, while your bags are transported from one hotel to the next. A representative will be there to meet you, make sure the bikes are all set up and will be on call throughout the trip should you need.

It is important that you are happy reading maps and following route notes, these are made as accurate as possible and they are regularly checked. Where possible the riding route sticks to cycle tracks and quiet roads to make the journeys as pleasant as possible, however, on occasion busier routes may be used. As this is a self-guided holiday there is no group and no leader. There maybe others on the same departure date as you, but you will not be organised together. The route notes contain a 24-hour emergency assistance telephone number should you need it and in emergencies, the local representative is normally able to dispatch a taxi or pick you up themselves. They may wish to charge for this service.

A quality local bike hire is included in the tour.

Alternatively, you can bring your own bike (BYO) but this is on a request basis and additional charges may apply to cover the transportation of your bike during the tour.
