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.

The 13-day trip was the adventure of a lifetime. Fantastic people, places and things to see! Well planned itinerary and top-notch accommodations. Got to see the beauty and "wildness" of Ireland. Given the opportunity to go places and see things you'd never experience on a tour bus!
Fantastic bike (I may want one of those now) and solid equipment.
The weather presented its challenges at times, but that's part of the adventure too!

I couldn’t have been more pleased with my tour package from C.R. Owner Paul did an awesome job of not only planning a great ride with excellent accommodations and a perfect bike, but also made sure of my safety by riding with us and leading the way for the first hour or so of our journey. If he had tour packages in other countries I would certainly sign on with him!

The absolute best ride of my life. Paul and Liam took care of everything. Great equipment, accommodations, and routing made this a one-of-a-kind trip. The scenery on the routes that Paul put together for us was second to none. The rolling mountains, valleys, and shorelines lay before you as you wind through the countryside. Followed by castles and churches around almost every corner. And of course the cost lines and the amazing clifts. On top of that the accommodations in the towns and villages Paul chooses to put you in are top notch allowing you to experience the Irish people and culture in a very special way. If you are going to take a trip to Ireland let Paul and Liam put together your trip of a lifetime. Looking forward to my next one.

It’s been three months since I took my solo 9 day tour of the Wild Atlantic Way and I wake up every morning reliving my journey. Just read the reviews from former customers and base your decisions on whom to use on that. If you think another company can exceed Celtic Rider’s expertise, use them and you will end up regretting it. I can’t expound on what others have said about Paul, Liam and staff. From our first contact until I left their facility, it was the experience of a lifetime ! Don’t take it from me, find out for yourself and book your own trip of a lifetime.

To start with the bike was in great condition, immaculately clean with fresh tires. Celtic Rider takes great care of their bikes. The ride was wonderfully curated for the best possible motorcycle experience with daily routes planned out on a Garmin for the rider to follow. Paul and Liam were helpful and want to give you the experience you are looking for. We can’t wait to return.

This is our second trip with Celtic Rider, and we are even more impressed this time. Paul told us how much of his business is return customers and I can see why. Paul and the Celtic Rider team are simply THE BEST to deal with and will see to it that your experience is second to none. Due to our schedules we can only do shorter trips so the last time we took the 5 day tour of the north-western coast of Ireland. We wanted to finish where we left off this time, so we simply asked Paul to design a custom package for a second 5 day tour from Galway to Killarney, and it was done!
Trust me, just tell Paul what you would like, and then sit back while he designs the greatest adventure of your lifetime, and if you think you can't top that, just ask him to and he will not disappoint. From your first meeting you will realize you are not doing business, you are working with a good friend.

We had the time of our lives! Paul, at Celtic Riders, pays attention to every detail. We were suited up with proper gear and provided motorcycles in top condition. He planned out a terrific route with amazing sites and incredible views. He provided safety tips and instructions when riding on left side of road.
We could not get over the stunning country side of Ireland…the castles, the seaside villages and cliffs. The roads were curvy and provided eye candy at every turn. Ireland is very clean and insanely beautiful. What a gem!! This trip is definitely among our very favorite. We highly recommend booking a tour through Celtic Riders.

This trip was beyond any expectation! I could not exaggerate the beauty of Ireland, the ease of the well organized routes, the surprises around every bend. This was the best Motorcycling experience of our lives, and we attribute MUCH of that to Paul, Liam and Louise @ Celtic Rider. They are so clearly sharing the joy of riding, and the miracle that is Ireland with their customers. Every second of the trip was perfection!

Such a fantastic experience--the 9-day trip on the Wild Atlantic Way on the Can-Am! This was our second trip with Celtic Rider. Paul and Liam didn't miss a detail on the outfitting and the safety orientation. Ireland is jaw-droppingly scenic and it's so special to see it all from the bike. My husband and I enjoyed the itinerary and accommodations. We WILL be back.

We booked a trip with Celtic Rider for the spring of 2020 and due to the pandemic we only now got to enjoy the trip. Paul and the team are very well organized, the documentation and communication with us, was top notch.
While I was a little nervous looking right and riding on the left, Paul and Liam made us comfortable before leaving their base and having their support on the road for over an hour made it even better.
If you are from the Canadian prairies and and ride to the rockies to get off the long flat straight stretches of highway to find the twisties, while not daunting, it was awesome. (BTW Westjet has a direct flight that starts each spring from Calgary to Dublin, super convenient).
My wife and I take a bike trip every spring, I enjoy being on the open road and she loves sitting one up on the pillion and take in the views. There was loads of both during our 9 day tour along the Wild Atlantic Way. Celtic Riders have it set up so well that all we had to do was follow the GPS they provided. The accommodations they arranged were perfect for us.
Liam; hope to see you in Edmonton for the 2024 motorcycle show.
Paul; Terri has been telling everyone it was the best vacation EVER. Kudos to you and your team for making this a reality for us. I will be back to either tour Scotland with the wife or to do Ireland again with some motorcycling buddies.
Cheers
