Great experience

Jack was a terrific guide. Very knowledgeable, personable and accommodating. We are not typically bus people but it was a small group and covered a lot of territory. Relaxing way to see an amazing landscape

Operator response

Great to know the smaller-group format felt relaxed while still covering so much of Wicklow’s amazing landscape.

Discover Wicklow and Glendalough

Very pleasant day discovering the Irish countryside. Our driver and guide James was really very good ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ He knew how to tell us the history of Ireland, the details of the places we passed through, all embellished with personal experiences. This excursion allowed us to discover the landscapes of Ireland and its ever-changing weather 🌞🌧️🍃 The Wicklow Mountains, the lakes of Glendalough. I recommend this day trip if you wish to see something other than Dublin.

Patrick Gleeson was an awesome guide and was so knowledgable about every site we visited. The only thing that could have been better was the weather. We viewed so many beautiful places it was amazing.
