Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Just back from cycling the waterford Greenway with my two sisters. From start to finish couldn't fault the experience of bike hire, quality of the bikes and helmets and advice received. The service was excellent. Our day didn't go as we planned. We didn't catch his name, but the staff member went out of his way to help and accommodate us when he didn't have to. We'd highly recommend this bike hire and we'll be back again.

Family of 4 and hired bikes starting in Kilmacthomas for two days. The team were flexible to switch one of the days due to heavy rain and they had a decent selection of bikes for all sizes and skills. Unfortunately we got a puncture but they came to rescue and replace the bike with 5 minutes of our call, which was very impressive. Although weather not great, we still got to enjoy the two days.....

We could not have had a better experience than with Waterford Greenway Tours. We left it a little late to get in touch but they were able to source two bikes and trailers for us and our twin boys. Brilliant and helpful on the phone and just the same in person when we turned up to pick up our bikes. Loved the Greenway and we had a fantastic day out. Looking forward to going back for a another run at it and will without a doubt be getting back in touch with John and his team. Owen S

After a few hundreds of meters, it appeared that one of the electrically assisted bikes we rented showed no electric assistance (although we noticed to the attendant before starting that the maintenance icon was blinking but we were told that it was not an issue). We tried to contact the helpline by phone without success (no reply). So, back to the renting station. There, no back-up e-bike was available. With "very little help" of the young guy at the station we finally found an intermediate solution with a half-charged battery + a back-up battery. Unfortunately, when we tried to use the back-up battery, it came out that we were missing the key to remove the main battery !
Finally we were unable to complete the tour and we had to stop our journey in Kilmacthomas.
So, I clearly do not recommend such a disastrous experience !

We booked 2 hybrid bikes in Waterford to cycle the Greenway, however when we got there they didn't have the bikes we booked. They gave my boyfriend a racing bike instead which was good. Unfortunately, my bike was a completely disaster. It wasn't a hybrid bike and it wasn't suitable for the Greenway at all. I wouldn’t recommend anyone to cycle more than 5k on that bike. I had to exchange the bike in Dungarvan the following day to make it back to Waterford.

I really enjoyed the cycle. This service was very helpful and I highly recommend it. Staff was very outgoing and friendly and the bikes were very comfortable. It made the experience a lovely one to remember.

I booked 7 Bikes off this place in August . Booked and paid for in FULL . Money taken out of our Account ..
We had travelled down from Dublin, when we were almost there I happened to ring to confirm the pick up.. I spoke to a girl who haven’t a clue about my booking . She said she’d Ring back but of course she didn’t . I rang again and A guy called JOHN answered this time.. the ABUSE HE GAVE over the phone was absolutely DISGRACEFUL. He told me “what do you want me to do , I don’t have your bikes my booking engine crashed. “ And than the abuse started.
He Than HUNG UP ON ME .
I rang back twice but he wouldn’t answer.
My Husband than rang from his phone , he answered straight away. He was on loud speaker as my husband was driving and the ABUSE HE ROARED at my Husband of which 4 people heard was ABSOLUTELY UNBELIEVABLE.
He was the RUDEST man I have ever come across EVER. Than HUNG UP AGAIN.
WE WERE ALL IN SHOCK
We arrived at GRATTAN QUAY, to shutters pulled down. We walked along the streets of Waterford trying to find his shop. Along the way we met a few locals who said to us
THATS GUYS BEHAVIOUR IS NOTHING NEW DOWN HERE .. he’s giving the bike hire companies a very bad name . We never got to go on cycle trip instead sat in a hotel having coffee.
It’s an absolutely Disgraceful TERRIBLE company to deal with.
Only 1 good thing about it was, he did Refund the money . But what good was that to 7 people who take the day off work TO TRAVEL FROM DUBLIN.
NEVER AGAIN.
BTW ONLY GAVE 1 STAR BECAUSE I HAD TO. 😡😡😡

We popped in at 130 looking to rent 5 bikes, 3 adults, 2 kids and a child seat for a few hours. We were quoted 100€ as a daily rate, no discounts or flexibility. We were going to give the Greenway a miss but came across OMahony cycles/abbeysiderentabike.com (look out for yellow sign) Sexton St, who charged 55€ all in. Literally almost half the price, free parking on Sexton St. Would highly recommend the Greenway.

A day trip, starting at 09:20am in Waterford, getting to Dungarvan at 12:08pm, lunch, and back to Waterford for approx. 04:40pm. We had a great time, even though it was 92km of cycling in total. The terrain isn't challenging even for likes of us - who came totally unprepped (last time we cycled was almost a year ago, back in August 2022).
The Waterford Greenway is very scenic and pleasant route, with plenty of stops if you need them. There is a great café called Signal Box half way through the route, in Kilmacthomas. Coffee is just great there and so are home made cakes (we opted for red velvet, which was just wow).

We booked two bikes for pick up from the Dungarvan depot. 50 euros for two bikes for just one day is a bit steep, especially as the bikes were not fully kitted out or well maintained.
My bike had no bell or stand, the pedals on my wife's bike were warped and the gears were not working correctly. We were not provided bike locks either which was odd.
I expected a better offering for what we had spent. The next time we return we will shop around Dungarvan for a better deal.

The Greenway itself is incredible and I couldn't recommend it highly enough.

Hi there, All Bike Hire companies in the Dungarvan area have similar prices. Some have higher rates as a Shuttle Bus and Breakdown Assistance is included. If you requested or asked for a bike with a bell, stand or locks a member of our team would have assisted you in providing what you have just asked for. There wouldn’t have been an issue. As previously mentioned breakdown assistance is provided if your wife’s bike had problems such as gears not working or problems with peddles we would have happily went out and provided a new bike to you. We just want our customers to be happy and comfortable when out on the Greenway.
