My husband and I truly enjoyed individual bike tour with Ben of My Bike or Hike and hope to be back for more soon :). Ben took good care of everything from planning and tailoring tour to our interests and fitness levels to arranging access to local exhibitions, provision and collections bikes on the day and of cause live commentary! All the details were carefully planned and agreed in advance and notes of special interests were taken into consideration. On the day Ben (literally) went extra mile taking pictures and videos of us as we cycled and created precious mementos of our journey! We can’t thank Ben enough for fantastic day out! Great option for a present to celebrate special occasion! (our wedding anniversary will be now well remembered 🙂 All in support of love for local knowledge and heritage, being active and supporting good causes!

Hands down best local guide in Dublin. Ben has been nothing but great. True storyteller, great heart – he has made the whole experience even better than expected. Able to cherry-pick small details here and there, Ben makes you embark on a journey where nature meets history.
