Itinerary

Guinness Lake
15 min

A lake that looks like a pint of Guinness? Welcome to Lough Tay, a superb Irish lake in Ireland’s Wicklow Mountains National Park (Co. Wicklow). The lake is not only magnificent, it literally looks like a pint! Boasting a white sandy beach (which is surprising, by the way), Lough Tay has all the attributes of a stout glass: from the white foam to its dark color! It’s a really nice spot, ideal for admiring on a short hike or road trip!

Powerscourt Waterfall
60 min

Powerscourt Waterfall is located in the beautiful Powerscourt Estate near the foothills of the Wicklow Mountains. Ireland’s highest waterfall at 121m, it’s a popular tourist attraction near Enniskerry at only 5km from the main estate. Powerscourt Waterfall is a beautiful natural attraction set in the foothills of the Wicklow Mountains near the town of Enniskerry. Only 5km from Powerscourt House and Gardens, the waterfall is Ireland’s highest at 121m and has attracted visitors for over 200 years. Driving from the gate lodge towards the waterfall, visitors are surrounded by beech, oak, larch and pine trees, some of which were planted over 200 years ago. There are giant redwood or sequoia trees, native to California, that were planted at Powerscourt sometime after 1860.

Glendalough Monastic Settlement
60 min

Glendalough is home to one of the most important monastic sites in Ireland. This early Christian monastic settlement was founded by St. Kevin in the 6th century and from this developed the “Monastic City”. Most of the buildings that survive today date from the 10th through 12th centuries. Despite attacks by Vikings over the years, Glendalough thrived as one of Ireland’s great ecclesiastical foundations and schools of learning until the Normans destroyed the monastery in 1214 A.D. and the dioceses of Glendalough and Dublin were united. Close to the monastic city is the interactive centre. The centre features an audio visual and has a model of the monastic site on display. You will be welcomed by a friendly and knowledgeable staff where all your questions will be answered. Glendalough is one of the top attraction on Ireland’s Ancient East

Wicklow
60 min

The Garden of Ireland Visit County Wicklow, a place with endless natural beauty and captivating history. See one of our most important monastic sites in Glendalough and learn about St Kevin who lived and worked here. Follow in his footsteps as you walk the trails and see panoramic views of Glendalough’s Lakes. Powerscourt Waterfall is one of the most unique places in Ireland. At any time of year, you can watch water cascade down the rocky outcrop of Ireland’s biggest waterfall. It’s a must-see when in County Wicklow. This tour is completely flexible for you, easily changed to suit your requirements.

Pat was an awesome tour guide. Took the Wicklow tour and the landscape was absolutely stunning. Included waterfalls, gardens, cliffsides, lakes and more. He was also very informative and did an incredible job answering all of our questions. You will learn a profound amount about this region in Ireland. 10/10 would recommend.

Off the charts amazing experience ... John was our driver, guide, wise man. He told us about every neighborhood we went through, the history and interesting facts, talked about life in Ireland in general, was interested in us and we felt comfortable with him the whole time. I hope he does other tours -- if he does, I will sign up on my next trip. The car was comfortable and clean -- it was a great day. Joyce R.

Operator response

Terrific Upscale Experience

A terrific day! Stephen was our driver and he was fantastic. He worked with us to tailor the trip to what we wanted. He also made some recommendations for off the beaten path spots that were perfect and his insight was entertaining and informative. The sights were gorgeous and the restaurant he recommended was fabulous. The combination of sights, conversation, the car and Stephen’s attention to every detail made this a truly upscale and outstanding day.

Operator response

Another great trip

We booked Ireland VIP tours again just recently. We used this company earlier in the year and were very pleased with the service.. I had family come home from the USA.
