Noel was a wonderful guide. He was punctual, informative, and personable when picking us up from our cruise ship tender. He gave a detailed tour of Glendolough in the pouring rain. He then took us to Powerscourt Estate, which was to be the highlight of the day. But the rains and winds continued, dampening our enthusiasm for the outing. But we were taken to charming pub in Enniskenny to dry out and drink up before returning to the dock. Although the weather curtailed seeing some of the sites we planned to see, we were happy with our time with Noel.

We had a terrific day touring the Wicklow mountains with Noel. He was knowledgable about everything and even found us a great table at a pub in the town near Powerscourt. it was a remarkable day!

Noel did an amazing job of showing us around. We visited close to a holiday, which meant that a number of things were closed. Noel went out of his way to make sure we got to see as much as possible.

Our driver took us to several beautiful spots near Dublin that fit into the time we had, beach town Bray, Glendalough historic monastery commune in the National park, Sallygap and Powerscourt Estate and Gardens. Beautiful spots not to be missed. He gave us a wonderful tour.

Great experience. Fantastic driver - super informative and great host. Didn't feel rushed. Helped customize the trip, kept a surprise and stopped to buy champagne without my partner knowing. Absolutely would recommend!

We went to Glendalough and Guinness lake. But you should be ashamed of yourself. We paid top $ for a private tour, yet you sent a taxi/van with no AC and no bottle water. The driver played loud music and kept drying his sweat off his head with a towel that he would throw next to my husband on the passenger seat. No Windows in the back, he didn’t take us to Power Court Garden, instead we spent 2 hours eating outside hot in Johnny Fox. I could have gotten a taxi, pay 200 Euros and done the same trip. I expect proper credit on my CC.

Of course Glendalough and the walk to the two lakes was very memorable,but we also enjoyed the latter part of the trip. We skipped Powerscourt as e have seen it before and drove back on the Military Road through a beautiful and bleak landscape full of heather and peat everywhere we looked.

We (my father-in-law and I) were in Dublin for three days in May and wanted to do something outside the city but without spending too much time on the road. The tour was perfect for that and it was a great experience! Noel is a super relaxed guide who had a lot of interesting information at hand and always accommodated our pace and individual wishes. We can absolutely recommend the tour, many thanks Noel!

I was fortunate to book a day trip with my guide (Noel) on short notice while traveling through Ireland. Noel was exceedingly knowledgable about the landscape and history of the region, and was a very safe driver when driving between the various sites. I would strongly recommend this day trip to anyone wishing to see these beautiful sights!
