Découvrez les joyaux cachés de l'Irlande lors d'une excursion d'une journée à Glendalough et dans les montagnes de Wicklow. Au départ de Dublin à 9h30, votre voyage commence par une route panoramique et un accueil chaleureux de votre guide. Premier arrêt: Powerscourt Waterfall, où vous aurez jusqu'à une heure pour profiter de la vue et prendre des photos. Ensuite, explorez les ruines monastiques de Glendalough datant du VIe siècle, nichées au milieu de lacs et de collines boisées. Vous aurez deux heures ici pour visiter et déjeuner (non inclus). Ensuite, vivez une démonstration de chiens de berger vivants — une véritable tradition irlandaise. Cette visite offre le mélange parfait d'histoire, de nature et de culture.
Départ de Dublin à 09h30. Rencontrez votre Guide et vos compagnons de route à la statue Molly Malone sur Suffolk Street pour commencer une journée inoubliable à explorer Co. Wicklow, connu sous le nom de « Jardin d'Irlande ». *VEUILLEZ VOUS PRÉSENTER AU POINT DE RENDEZ-VOUS 10 MIN AVANT L'HEURE FIXÉE*
Notre premier arrêt de la journée est la superbe cascade Powerscourt, nichée au cœur du comté de Wicklow. Plus haute cascade d’Irlande, elle plonge sur 121 mètres (397 pieds) dans une vallée sereine et bordée d’arbres, créant un spectacle vraiment envoûtant. Entourée par les majestueux bois du domaine de Powerscourt, cette merveille naturelle captive les visiteurs depuis le XVIIIe siècle. Sa beauté enchanteresse en a même fait un lieu de tournage populaire pour les films et les séries télévisées, ajoutant à son allure magique. Admirez les sons apaisants de l'eau en cascade, explorez les sentiers pédestres pittoresques et plongez dans la tranquillité de cette destination inoubliable.
Situé dans la « vallée des deux lacs », Glendalough est un joyau historique entouré de paysages à couper le souffle. Il a été créé comme retraite monastique au VIe siècle par saint Kevin. En se promenant parmi les vestiges de la ville antique, les visiteurs peuvent en apprendre davantage sur le patrimoine spirituel et historique de l'Irlande. Vous pouvez également déjeuner dans un restaurant voisin.
La dernière étape de notre visite d'une journée à Wicklow est une ferme de moutons en activité. Rencontrez un fermier local sympathique qui se fera un plaisir de vous initier à la vie rurale à la ferme. Vous serez présenté à leurs chiens de berger de travail; ils vous expliqueront la race de chien utilisée et vous montreront comment ils sont formés pour remplir leurs fonctions. L'agriculteur parlera également des différentes races de moutons en Irlande et de leur utilisation. Puis enfin l'événement principal, une démonstration de chiens de berger. Il s'agit d'une expérience vraiment unique et vous donne un aperçu de la façon dont les chiens sont utilisés pour élever des moutons, que ce soit dans les collines ou dans les champs à l'aide de commandes vocales et sifflantes.
Nous revenons dans la ville de foire de Dublin vers 16h45. Merci de vous joindre à nous !

The weather wasnt great but didnt dampen the whole experience. Loved the sheepdog demo. Jonas was very enthusiastic about his dogs and sherp. Grest way tk see a little bit iof Ireland
It’s beautiful. An experience that is well worth taking. Phillip, our tour guide was excellent. The excursion was excellent.
A pleasant experience with beautiful sites and cool narrow roads. Very enjoyable
Wonderful experience seeing the countryside! Our guide and driver Conor was excellent. The waterfall and surroundings were stunning. We saw deer at Glendalough - at upper lake and near the visitor's center. Sheepdog Show was the highlight of the day! Two little sheep in particular had the pup's full attention to keep in line with the rest of the sheep, which was fun to watch. Would do this again for sure!
Great day out. Beautiful scenery but the highlight was definitely the sheepdog show. Conor was a grand guide!
We spent a beautiful day, with various stops and the necessary time to visit, take plenty of photos and get souvenirs. The guide was very friendly. The sheepdog demonstration was magnificent, we loved it. We recommend this excursion
Would absolutely recommend as a day trip from Dublin. We were able to spend just enough time at each location, similar to what we probably would have spent going on our own. The sheepdog demo was fantastic.
Driver was knowledgeable and friendly. Went out of his way to make everyone comfortable. Would recommend more restroom stops for elderly.
If you want to have a GUIDED tour and hear what the guide has to say - this trip is NOT the one for you! If you want to experience an appalling behavior from another passenger without it having any consequences for that person - this trip IS for you. This was a birthday gift for our mother and we regret spending the money on such an experience. My sister and mother sat in the back because it seemed like, you could hear the guide better there (you were placed higher and closer to the speakers). Unfortunately, a woman seated next to them started using her mobile with the sound on and quite high. They could not hear the guide speaking and asked her very nicely if she could turn the volume down. She got very angry and refused to turn it down and kept saying that they were harassing her. They spoke to the guide who asked her if she could turn it down but she refused. She also involved other passengers and turned the whole thing around to make it seem like they were the ones treating her badly and being disrespectful. Since she kept saying to the guide that they were harassing her, he asked other people if they could hear him which they could (they were not placed right beside her). My mother and sister ended up sitting elsewhere but this didn't help alot since other people were talking loudly and now they were also using their phones with the sound on high. We have been on a lot of guided tours before and the guide has always ensured that all people could hear and have told people to be quiet when he/she is speaking. Especially when the sound is not that high or clear which was the case on this tour. It is one thing to experience being told that you are harassing another person just because you are asking for common courtesy, being yelled at to shut up and having other people back that person up. It is another thing to experience that this kind of behaviour has no consequences and being the ones to accept not getting the experience, you have paid for. The company should either invest in much better speakers, headphones for all to hear the guide or a "no sound on" policy for when the guide is speaking.
