Anthony treated us to a wonderful day outside Dublin enjoying the countryside. We learned about harvesting turf and visited Glendalough. Anthony took us on nice walks and explained everything in great detail. The cheese plate at lunch was excellent value. Anthony was even so nice as to drop us back off at the port in time for the last tender to our ship. 5 star outing and service. Thank you!

This ia a fantastic way to see the incredible green glens, ancient sites and beautiful countryside of Ireland! Our guide, friendly and cheerful, Anthony gave us many local tidbits of information and the history of Ireland as we drove through the hilltop sites in a very comfortable bus which accommodated about 20 people. This small number allowed us to visit sites not accessible by the big tour buses.
It was a full day with 4-5 stops and plenty of photos opportunities. This tour is suitable for all ages providing walking a few miles is not a problem. Our day was perfect, finishing with a taste of Jameson and a toast to our good health and a speedy return to Ireland!

In a beautifully warm week we just had that one terrible rainy day. But despite that, it was more than worth the day. The tour guide Nial had the nicest and most interesting stories. And even though the view was a bit less, the tour passes plenty of other beautiful places. It was a great day!

My goal in taking the tour was getting some history of the area and some beautiful photos. The Wicklow tour is run rain or shine. It rained all day and was foggy with low clouds. Our guide was left with describing what we would have seen if the weather were nice. I was disappointed with the lack of photo opportunities. Don’t go on a rainy day if you’re looking for good scenery.

Our guide, Niles, did a good job of explaining the history around Dublin and Ireland. he was entertaining and full of interesting facts.

We enjoyed letting a qualified driver and guide to take the lead on this tour as lots of narrow roads and parking needed to see the sights.
Patrick did a fine job of balancing information with some times to just relax and enjoy the sights. Patience was needed and he indeed had that in spades!
Great variety of stops. Long day but great value for the cost of tours in other countries!
