What are people saying about Wicklow Mountains

Amazing day tour!
What a lovely experience! The tour is very well organised and fun. I really enjoyed that we had time to explore Glendalough and Kilkenny by ourselves, while also having had the time to listen to the tour guide. Ian, the guide, was very nice and knowledgeable and Peter, the driver, was very skilled. The Wicklow mountains and the Irish countryside are breathtaking! Every part of the experience was amazing to me

So informative but a little shorter than hoped for
Commentary was so informative even for a person who lived in Ireland for 6 years! The commentator was so friendly and funny, the coach was clean and comfortable but I wished we had another hour in Glendalough and another in Kilkenny because we couldn’t see half of the area hence the 4 stars

A day full of fun!
Guide Pat and Driver Alec were wonderful. The ride was entertaining and educational. The scenery was majestic. The stops were breath taking, we got so many pictures. Kilkenny was delightful, we shopped and ate a lovely lunch. Totally enjoyable!
