This excursion was incredible from beginning to end! Not only we’re the sights amazing but we were able to discover them at our own pace. To top it off, our tour guide, Brian, was funny, friendly and immensely knowledgeable. He explained the history of the country on the drive and made the experience that much better! We would highly recommend this tour and if you have Brian as your tour guide, you’re in for an added bonus!

Great tour near Dublin

Ted_V, Sept 2023

Wonderful guide (Jerry) and driver. Weather cooperated. And Mother Nature was in full display. Recommend to anyone who prefers a half-day tour.

Side trip.

CraigD, Sept 2023

Beautiful scenery. Very interesting commentaries. Perfect length of time. We thoroughly enjoyed our experience away from busy Dublin.

Great half day out

Gina_M, Sept 2023

Guide was very engaging and knowledgeable. Was worth the visit to the lovely lakes and walking tracks

A journey you won’t forget!

Ronnie_M, Sept 2023

Our tour guide was amazing. He was very entertaining and knowledgeable. The stories he told about the mountains before we arrived really brought the experience to life. The sights once you get there are unforgettable. The pictures of it don’t nearly do it justice. I would highly recommend this tour!

Great trip with terrific guide!

burnsmadeline, Sept 2023

Beautiful mountains

Judith_S, Sept 2023

My husband was so enchanted by the beauty of this area that he said this is where he would want to live in Ireland if he were to move here.

I'd recommend

Megan_H, Sept 2023

Two hours was a good amount of time to explore, tour guide was also very friendly. I would recommend

Great!

Leah_F, Sept 2023

We had a great trip to the Wicklow mountains with Tom! He was funny and informative and a great driver

Amazing and beautiful tour

Linda_N, Sept 2023

Go early to Glendalough! It’s a peaceful and beautiful walk to the Upper Lake. However, walking back to the car park for the bus, we ran into tons of school groups with teenagers, loud and taking up most of the walkways. Quite annoying so go early. It was a perfect end to our Ireland trip without having to take an all day (12-13 hr) tour, riding around the country on a bus. We wish we could have had more time to hike to a waterfall but that just means another trip. It’s not far from Dublin City Centre, and the scenery was nice headed to County Wicklow. Our guide, Jerry, was very informative and our driver, Thomas, was very careful and safe in his bus driving skills.

Beautiful

Haley_H, Sept 2023

Great tour! Katherine was a fantastic guide and the views were beautiful! Our group ended up being 40 people but this didn’t affect the tour at all

The place is very serene....

MariaAndrea_A, Sept 2023

The place is very serene. Nice to stay for the day. The time alloted though is not enough if you want to really soak up the place. Good tour though to get a feel Of the place.

Glendalough 1/2 day tour.

John_P, Sept 2023

Lucky day for weather - it was beautiful in the hills. JJ Kavanagh bus was very comfortable. Need a bathroom on the busses, though.

Beautiful!

Dendy_W, Sept 2023

Loved the hike from the Monastery to the Upper Lake. It was very busy and congested around the visitor center, but once I was in the trail, it was very beautiful and peaceful

just as easy as it should

Nicola_M, Sept 2023

easy trip and pick up from the city centre (and back). bus extremely comfortable and clean. left us enough time to explore the lakes and surrounding

I loved Glendalough. Alex...

Katherine_M, Sept 2023

I loved Glendalough. Alex proved great background information. The old buildings remnants were truly a sight to behold.

Great Dublin Escape

Nicholas_C, Sept 2023

Hikes, great driver/guide, waterfall, fantastic old abbey. Great little escape from Dublin. Bring a decent lunch the cafe they at the location is typically busy and very expensive.

Great Escape from Dublins City Center

Paul_D, Sept 2023

Seeing the mountains, valley and lakes was very relaxing. First, walking through the monastery was incredible to see 1,000 year old craftsmanship. The path takes you to a greenway enclosed by trees and nature that has been untouched. Plenty of options to grab a snack and drink along the route. Our guide, Josh, took us up to an overlook to view the entire valley which was beautiful.

Relatively good experience

Iuliana_N, Sept 2023

Walking through the woods and the streams. Visiting the old churches and taking pictures in the woods.
