This tour is a wonderful way for honeymoon couples to combine bicycling and exploring the magnificent Irish countryside together. And even if we cannot promise that the sun will always shine over Ireland, the fabulous landscape and the feeling to have something achieved at the end of the day will more than make up for it. And what is even better, at the end of each day, you will stay in selected small charming hotels, guesthouses and as a special finale there will be a night in a castle or manor house hotel.
