What Others Say
EXCELLENT Based on 52 reviews Posted on Google Mark GouldAugust 14, 2026Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. A thoroughly enjoyable day cycling the Royal Canal Greenway from Maynooth to Moyvalley. Janice and I had not been on bikes for about 25 years, so hiring e-bikes from Ethical Tours e-bikes proved a very good decision, particularly on a hot day. The 25km route took us about two hours and was flat, easy to follow and very pleasant throughout. Brendan and Bill at Ethical Tours e-bikes were excellent. They talked us through the best route, helped us judge a sensible distance given our lack of recent cycling experience, and Bill gave us a very helpful introduction to using the e-bikes when we collected them. The bikes themselves were modern, comfortable and made the whole experience remarkably easy. Fury’s Pub in Moyvalley also deserves a mention. A cold Guinness and a lovely lunch were extremely welcome after the ride, and it makes an excellent stopping point for anyone travelling this section of the Greenway. Full marks all round to Waterways Ireland for the Royal Canal Greenway, Ethical Travel e-bikes for making the cycling so straightforward, and Fury’s for providing the perfect finish to a very enjoyable morning.Posted on Google Bettina Brauer-KellerAugust 11, 2026Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Friendly, uncomplicated, wonderful bikes and Brendan's patience during our phonecall ( we're germans) was remarkable. Anytime again!!Posted on Google Katell AutretAugust 10, 2026Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Brendan nous a fourni 2 très bons vélos pour une journée sur "the old railway" à partir d'Athlone. Service de qualité, vélos très confortables... Nous le remercions de nous avoir permis cette belle escapade au coeur de l'Irlande.Posted on Google mona mc neiceAugust 4, 2026Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Centre Parcs had no mobility scooters available and I badly needed one having had a recent hip replacement surgery. Ethical Tours came to the rescue and I was able to enjoy my stay because otherwise I would have been unable to walk around the Park having booked 2 houses for a family break. I kept checking Centre Parcs for a week and to no avail.Posted on Google Sheila HouriganAugust 4, 2026Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Ethical Tours absolutely excellent service. We rented a mobility scooter while staying in Center Parks in Longford. No scooter was available during our stay in CP. I called Brendan from Ethical tour, within 20 minutes the mobility scooter was delivered. Excellent service, highly recommend.. efficient and totally hassle free. Many thanks for all your helpPosted on Google Ciara McNeiceAugust 4, 2026Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Hired a mobility scooter from Ethical Tours after there was no availability to hire them at Center Parcs for the Aug bank holiday weekend. My mum recently had a hip replacement so would have struggled with the long walks around Center Parcs. Brendan saved the day and supplied us with a top of the range mobility scooter at short notice and a good price. Drop off and collection was so quick and convenient and Brendan was a pleasure to deal with. I would highly recommend this company for mobility scooter hire.Posted on Google Olivia BradleyAugust 3, 2026Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We had a fantastic experience with Brendan & Ethical tours. He provided bikes to a group of six families and everything went smoothly. Bikes looked brand new & price to rent for 3 days was considerably cheaper than what Center Parcs was offering. Collecting & returning the bikes at Center parcs was simple and hassel-free and Brendan was reliable, friendly and a pleasure to deal with. Will definitely use Brendan again when we return and would recommend.Posted on Google John ClearyJuly 26, 2026Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Hired a bike while staying at Center Parcs, very good value and Brendan was a pleasure to deal with. Definitely would use again.Posted on Google Carmel BrennanJuly 25, 2026Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. What a fantastic way to spend a Saturday! From forests to river to canal to boglands, the route you took us on was so beautiful. And the historic bog road @ corlea bog visitor centre is a hidden gem, we truly enjoyed it. Thank you Brendan. We will be back !!Posted on Google Caroline SheehanJuly 13, 2026Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We couldn’t recommend this company more, Brendan was so accommodating dropping and collecting our bikes. The bikes were of excellent quality and well maintained. It was excellent service and a fraction of what the park was charging. I would highly recommend.
