Our Story
Passion for Cycling, Love for Ireland
Green Marble Tours was founded in 2013 by Wilma Heim with a simple yet powerful mission: to offer high-quality cycling tours with a personal touch, ensuring guests have an unforgettable experience in Ireland. With her deep local knowledge and passion for hospitality, Wilma quickly built Green Marble Tours into one of Ireland’s most popular cycling tour operators.
Her approach was simple—exceptional service, expert planning and a love for Ireland’s landscapes. Over the years, Green Marble Tours became known for its carefully curated routes, seamless organization, and the warm welcome every guest received.
A New Chapter
Joining Forces with West Ireland Cycling
In 2022, after nearly a decade of running the business, Wilma decided to take a step back and move toward retirement. Rather than stepping away entirely, she saw an exciting opportunity—to combine forces with West Ireland Cycling, a family-run tour company owned by John and Siobhán Kennedy, who have been offering cycling holidays in Ireland for years.
What had once been friendly competition quickly turned into a fantastic partnership, blending decades of cycling expertise, deep-rooted local connections, and a shared passion for adventure. Today, Wilma, John and Siobhán work together to deliver even more incredible cycling tours to guests from around the world.
