Excellent service, we rented 2 bikes and 2 trailers while at Center Parcs. Pick up and drop off was easily arranged, and the bikes and trailers were in perfect condition 👌

On very short notice, Brendan sorted my family and I out with 4 bikes on a recent trip to Center Parcs.
He was great to deal with and was very accommodating with arranging collection and pickups. All 4 bikes were high spec and in perfect condition.  I'd highly recommend Brendan and the Ethical Tours team.

Brendan was a pleasure to deal with. He sorted us out for two bikes and trailers for the kids at short notice for the week break. He accommodated our times for pickup and return so that we could get the full experience in the Park, adding no pressure at all with regard to times.  I can't recommend them enough, great communication, great service and great prices! Looking forward to our next trip already and we'll definitely be returning to Ethical Tours. Thanks to all the team 👍

We had an excellent day out on the Guided E-Bike Tour of the Shannon Riverside Eco Adventure. The route along the quiet scenic country roads along the Shannon was stunning and so peaceful. Brendan was a fantastic guide - his passion for the area really shines through, and his local knowledge made the experience extra special. He even showed us where he grew up, which gave a lovely personal touch to the tour. We also had the chance to stop off at a local farm, which was interesting. This is a brilliant option if you’re looking for something different and a bit off the beaten track. Highly recommend!

Brand new bikes with plenty of power and comfort. Brendan took us on a nice spin around the Newcastle Woodland and then we set out on our own down the Royal Canal to the Corlea Bog Walkway. An amazing and scenic day out. Pick up and drop-off were a breeze. Thank you Brendan

Our family of 6 adults spent a very enjoyable day over Easter Weekend 2025 on e-bikes with Ethical Tours Ballymahon. Brendan the owner was our guide for the day and he took us on a cycle through the forest near Centre Parks, along the canal and around Corlea Bog Trackway. We also visited Corlea Visitors Centre for a very interesting and informative talk on the Corlea Bog Iron Age Roadway. The cycle was easy for all of us and the e-bikes were top quality. Brendan was an excellent guide and allowed us to dictate the pace and the length of the trip. We finished the day with a tasty meal in The Jolly Boys Ballymahon made extra special by a pint of the locally brewed IPA. 5 stars to Ballymahon Ethical Tours. Definitely an experience worth trying.

Our swim team had the absolute pleasure of joining Ethical Tours for a bicycle tour through stunning forests, peaceful boglands, and alongside a scenic canal – and it was nothing short of amazing! One of the highlights of the tour was our stop at the Corlea Visitor Centre, where we were treated to a fascinating and informative tour. The history and natural beauty of the area really came to life and gave us a deeper appreciation for the land we were cycling through. A huge shoutout to Brendan, our tour guide – he was outstanding! His knowledge of the environment, combined with his warm, approachable manner, made the whole experience incredibly enriching. He was clearly passionate about the area and truly made the journey special. This was hands-down one of the best team-building activities we’ve ever done. It struck the perfect balance between adventure, learning, and connection. We highly recommend Ethical Tours to any group looking for a unique and memorable day out. We’ll definitely be back!
