ABOUT US
Discover Ireland at your own pace and cover more ground in a shorter span of time on a self-drive tour. Our expertly designed itineraries take you from region to region through villages, National Parks, historic sites and along the most scenic routes imaginable.
Can't chose between the Dingle Peninsula and the Cliffs of Moher? No problem. Looking for a nice mix of landscapes, popular attractions and hidden gems? We've got you!
While most travellers tend to visit Ireland between April and September – when we have the most daylight hours – a self-drive tour can be planned for any time of year.
Past Traveler Feedback
Would definitely recommend to all of our family and friends! Such an easy, stress-free way to travel. They took the hassle out of planning each and every single day, but the itinerary gave us the flexibility to go with our own flow too. As we traveled from town to town we never had to worry about finding a good place to stay, a good meal, or finding something to do. Exceptional communication throughout the trip too just to check in with us or answer questions if we had them.
CASSANDRA
Maurice helped us create a wonderful itinerary for our 3 weeks in Ireland. They were very attentive, flexible and easy to work with. They really want you to have a great trip and stay in touch while you are there. Our trip was self-guided, part with drivers arranged with IWHB and part with a car we rented. I would definitely plan a trip again with their great knowledge and heart!
REBECCA & WAIT
I seldom enlist help from companies to plan my trips. However, I found myself with too little time to arrange our trip to Ireland, so reached out to three recommended tour groups for help. Ireland Walk Hike Bike responded almost immediately and quickly understood our needs and desires. Their attention never wavered and they answered my questions knowledgeably and graciously. The arrangements made were flawless, I’m still in awe. When we had to make last minute changes, they took care of them.
Having watched many travelers flash through Ireland, founder Linda Woods wanted to provide a more slow-paced, immersive approach to experiencing the country. “My aim was to slow people down so that they could really sink their feet into the soul of the country, meet the locals and discover what makes Ireland and the Irish tick.”
Whether you're looking to walk, hike or bike, or a combination, our team of local travel specialists and guides are here to ensure that you have a most delightful and memorable trip to Ireland.

(continued) The staff was professional, thoughtful, caring and accurate. They provided accommodations, a rental car (with appropriate insurance), off-line mapping for the drive and hikes, excellent restaurant recommendations, historical and natural context to our travels; truly full service. And the cost was reasonable with no up charges for any rearrangements I required. I certainly would recommend them to travellers for a trip to Ireland. In this case, we couldn’t have done our trip without them!
