Discover everything that makes Ireland unique on this full-day tour from Dublin, combining breath-taking scenery, rich history and authentic rural experiences. Begin in the medieval city of Kilkenny, where a guided walking tour introduces its historic streets, followed by free time to explore Kilkenny Castle and local shops. Continue into the Wicklow Mountains, the “Garden of Ireland,” with panoramic views and a scenic photo stop at the Wicklow Gap (weather permitting). Visit Glendalough, a stunning 6th-century monastic settlement set beside peaceful lakes, where a second guided walk brings Ireland’s early history to life. A highlight for many guests is the visit to a traditional sheep farm, where you’ll experience an authentic sheepdog trial and see highly trained dogs expertly guide their flock.

2.00I recently joined the Kilkenny, Wicklow Mountains & Glendalough Day Tour from Dublin, and overall I would rate it 2 out of 5 stars. The tour itself is well structured and covers beautiful and historic locations such as Kilkenny, the Wicklow Mountains, and the Glendalough monastic site in a single day with organized transport and guided explanations. The main positive aspect of the experience was the tour guide. She was extremely knowledgeable, professional, and very easy to understand. Her explanations about Irish history, culture, and the places we visited were clear and engaging, and they added real value to the trip. Thanks to her, we were able to better understand the importance of each location. Unfortunately, the driver had a very negative impact on the experience. He was extremely rude, constantly rushed the group, and made it difficult to properly enjoy the stops. At one point, he almost left one of our group members behind by starting to drive away without making sure everyone was back on the bus. He also did not allow enough time even for basic needs like going to the bathroom, which made the day stressful instead of relaxing. The situation became worse when he also insulted my friend, which was completely unacceptable and very unprofessional. In addition, he talked excessively on the bus, not allowing passengers to rest during what is already a long day of travel. In summary, the guide helped save part of the experience thanks to her professionalism and knowledge, but the driver’s behavior significantly lowered the overall quality of the tour.
All great

5.00It was a really great experience. Paul an John did a grea job. The driver drove safely and our guide explained interesting things about the places and history. It wasn‘t annoying at any point. We also had enough time to go around and have a walk by ourselves. I reccomend it warmly! Thanks to our two irish guides!

5.00Ian and Warren were great, gave us tours and tips, and always made sure we were comfortable and had what we needed. Prepare yourself if you have motion sickness as the windy roads were difficult for some on the bus.
