Bike tour of Dublin

We have biking history here at Gantours and touring Dublin by bike is certainly something we are big fans of doing.  We love the way you can get out and live, breath, taste and see Dublin through the eyes of a local as you are guided by some of the highlights this great city has to offer. A great experience, easy paced and fun to do.

Epic Ireland

If Glasnevin tells you the story of the great Irish who rest here, we let the guys at Epic tell you about the Irish who left and went onto great things, this great attraction is in the heart of Dublin: “You won’t find leprechauns or pots of gold here, but you’ll discover that what it means to be Irish expands far beyond the borders of Ireland through the stories of Irish emigrants who became scientists, politicians, poets, artists and even outlaws all over the world. Discover Ireland from the outside in and find out why saying “I’m Irish” is one of the biggest conversation starters, no matter where you are.”

Fab Food Trails

Like food? You’ll love this. Imagine somewhere that produces the best world class food, place it in the melting pot that is Dublin city and then get an expert guide with a glint in their eye who loves food and knows where to find it. Follow said guide as you meander through Dublin and experience a food tasting experience like no other. We at Gantours met Fab Food Trails when they were starting out, loved them then, love them even more now.  A really great outdoorsy food experience for young and old alike.

Dalkey Castle

If you like artisan shops, galleries, food and history coupled with meandering streets, castles and harbours away from the hustle and bustle of busy city life then Dalkey is the place for you. Dalkey Castle introduces itself at the start of this cultural hub and a tour of the castle is soaked in humour and great fun for all the family as you learn about local history and some very strange cultural practices that you’ll be thankful have become a thing of the past.

Merrion Square on Sunday

One of our favourite things to do in Dublin is to head into Dublin on a Sunday morning, after your breakfast but before the locals have managed to step outside, grab a coffee and stroll the length and breadth of Merrion Square marveling at the talented art on display.  Many of Dublin and Irelands great artists come out and display their art on the railings of Merrion Square and its just a joy to take time out and enjoy stepping into the artworld and experiencing the moment on a Sunday, every Sunday (from 10am onwards is best).
