Temple Bar

Your tour will start with a tour out of Dublin, beginning right after the coach departs your guide will be there to point out all that there is to see on the way through and out of Dublin City. This journey is one of stark changes in the landscape; from the grey streets of Dublin to the green roads of Wicklow, how the scenery develops as we take this short drive to the next county over is something to be seen. Along the route we will drive right through the heart of Dublin City past Trinity College and Temple bar. Along the Liffey past the Guinness Brewery and up into Kilmainham where the Viking settlers of Dublin buried their dead. This is a journey from Dublin; the Fair City to Wicklow; the Garden of Ireland and it is one to be remembered!

Glendalough Monastic Settlement

Glendalough also known as The Valley of Two Lakes is one of the most beautiful and isolated valleys in all of Ireland. Buried right in the heart of Wicklow in the middle of the largest area of uplands in all of Ireland is a tranquil place of peace and exploration. Being one of the earliest and most significant Monastic sites in all of Ireland, your guide will bring you on a walking tour of the old city to show you the depth of history to be found there. The ruins of the monastic city are some of the finest preserved examples of their kind in Ireland. From the Round Tower to the wish granting Cross of St Kevin, explore it all at your own pace after the guided tour as you will be given plenty of free time. Perhaps you’ll hear the story of St Kevin and the Blackbird or hear of the Pagan Celts. Memories and moments are found easily here in Glendalough whether in the Monastic City, sitting by the streams and in the trees or around the shores of the lakes themselves.
