What wonderful service! I made a very last-minute enquiry to Brendan due to one of our bikes not fitting on our bike carrier for a trip to Centre Parcs, and there weren’t any available to hire from Centre Parcs as it was last-minute…he was so helpful. We got a bike sorted, he even met us close to the entrance to Center Parcs for drop off and pick up, flexible with times. Would highly recommend anyone who needs to hire a bike in the area to contact Brendan. The bike itself was excellent. It really made my holiday as I would have been without a bike otherwise. Thanks for coming to our rescue Brendan!

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!

Very reliable and easy-going. Thanks Brendan. Would be very happy to recommend to family and friends and will be using ethical tours for future bike hire.

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.
