My husband Jeff and I had a wonderful day with Dermot exploring this magical area of Ireland. Our guide, Dermot, made the time fun with his Irish tales and knowledge. It was a sunny Saturday with many people on the roads and Dermot drove with great caution. We recommend this company for all your private tour needs in Ireland.

WICKLOW DAY TRIP

Gladys_G, May 2024

We had a nice day touring Powerscourt gardens, Wicklow and the Glendaloughs. Weather held up well as we had some sunshine and no rain. Conor was a very good guide and explained sites and their histories. The only minor negative from the trip was that with a family of four adults we were expecting transportation in an mpv which we had with similar private day tours on several other excursions over a weeklong holiday in Ireland. In Conor's sedan we sat as a cramped 3 in the rear seat with one alongside Conor in the front passenger seat. Otherwise the trip was very good and is recommended.

Take this tour with Conner!

Jeanna_W, Oct 2023

Conner was a great guide! We loved the gardens and shopping at Powerscourt, the beautiful vistas of Wicklow, lunch at Wicklow Heather and the ruins and natural beauty at Glendalaugh. It was a wonderful day.

Response from Host, Nov 2023

Thank you very much Jeanne for your excellent review of your private day tour of Wicklow.

Perfect Excursion on the Emerald Isle

Response from Host, Sep 2023

Thank you very much Karen for your excellent review and I will pass along your kind words to Dermot.

Good overall tour.

Roger_S, Sep 2023

Our tour guide Kevin was very enjoyable. Knowledgeable and answer questions well. Could have provided more opportunities to take photos.

Response from Host, Sep 2023

Thank you Roger for the very positive feedback.

Interesting tour and great guide

Ruth_A, Aug 2023

Our Wicklow mountains, Powerscourt and Glendalough tour from Dublin was everything we had hoped it to be and much more. Our tour guide, Kevin was engaging, enthusiastic and glad to share all of his knowledge of the area. We liked walking through the Powerscourt gardens and around Glendalough lakes, and all the scenery along the way.

Response from Host, Sep 2023

Thank you very much Ruth for the excellent review and I will pass along your kind words to Kevin your guide.

Awesome day with Gillian!

Myrna_S, Aug 2023

Gillian was our tour guide and I give her a 10 out of 10. She was the only one of our Viator guides that used a microphone so it was easy to her her narrate things. She took use several places and gave us plenty of time to explore. The place she stopped for lunch was delicious and had a big menu to choose from. I had the cornbeef and cabbage. This was a very enjoyable day and I highly recommend the tour

Response from Host, Aug 2023

Thank you very much Myrna and I'll pass along your kind words to Gillian your guide.

Awesome day!

Jill_D, Jun 2023

Gillian was so wonderful. We had a group of 6 spanning 3 generations and we all loved the day. Gillian is top notch, she was so knowledgeable and personable and made the day fun. We felt very well taken care of and we learned so much about the area at each of the stops. Would recommend this tour with Gillian to anyone.

Response from Host, Jul 2023

Thank you very much and you are right Gillian is a top notch guide. Delighted you enjoyed your tour with her

Beautiful scenery

Michael_P, Jun 2023

Terry was very friendly and informative. He first took us to Powerscourt, where he saved us on the entry fee cost. Powerscourt was beautiful as we strolled through the gardens and grounds. We then headed through Wicklow National Park, which has fantastic scenery. Terry then took us to Glendalough. We visited St. Kevin monastery and then walked to both lakes. On the way back to Dublin, Terry took us along the coast. It was a great day and well worth it.

Response from Host, Jun 2023

Thank you very much Michael fro the excellent and it was a pleasure to meet and guide you all.

A perfect day!

waynechar, May 2023

We had a wonderful day exploring these amazing sights. Terry was a terrific guide, from his knowledge of the area to the great restaurant he reserved for us. It was a terrific day.

Response from Host, May 2023

Thank you very much for your wonderful review and it was lovely meet you.

Good Tour

Cindy_W, Apr 2023

Beautiful scenery. The Powerscourt gardens were spectacular even though we were early in the season. Glendalough was an interesting and pretty place. We had an enjoyable day with Conor. He personalized the tour to meet our interests.

Response from Host, Apr 2023

Thank you very much Cindy, Im delighted you enjoyed your Private Day Tour with Conor.

Terrible!! Not worth it

Jithesh_R, Oct 2022

Driver came 30 minutes late. Van journey was extremely uncomfortable . We didn’t get to have lunch till 5.30. We were famished. Driver John was not flexible to accommodate our request to see a close by attraction inspite of asking few times. Not at all flexible and not worth taking it. Places were extremely beautiful but didn’t get enough time to spend there. We were rushed everywhere.. total disappointment!!!

Response from Host, Oct 2022

These remarks are just not accurate. John contacted me on the morning of your tour and told me he was running late due to unusually heavy traffic and had rang you to let you know. There is absolutely no reason why you couldn't have stopped for lunch at any time on your own private tour. You could have spent as long as you wish in any place again your private tour. You fail to mention that the weather wasn't great and after you had done the tour you requested a refund after the event. If you had contacted me before the tour we could have arranged an alternative date or refund. This is a bad tactic because I refused your refund. Sorry you didn't enjoy your tour.

Our driver Matt. was...

rhonda_s, Aug 2022

Our driver Matt. was fantastic! He was so. knowledgeable, friendly and courteous! He was especially good with my 80 year old Mom and 79 year old aunt. I would highly recommend this tour and Matt!

Response from Host, Aug 2022

Thank you very Rhonda, I'm delighted that you enjoyed your tour with us and I will pass along your kind words to Matt.

The guide was informative...

Dianne_H, Jul 2022

The guide was informative and the locations had interesting history but I would not recommend based on my interest level. When booking excursions I had to guess which ones would interest a multigenerational family of 6. We all agreed we could have skipped Glendalough. It was the last stop of the three.

Response from Host, Jul 2022

Hi Dianne, I'm very sorry that you did not enjoy your Private Day Tour. The locations and time spent there are entirely up to you as it's a private tour. If the guide had known this he would have brought you somewhere else instead.

Wonderful day tour

Linda_J, Nov 2021

We had a great day. The weather was perfect and our tour guide was friendly and very knowledgeable about Wicklow and the history of the locations we went to. He provided great details along the way and suggested a wonderful restaurant for lunch tucked away in a tiny village in the Wicklow mountains. Delicious food! Beautiful countryside! Excellent tour!!

Response from Host, Nov 2021

Hi Linda, I;m delighted that you enjoyed your private day tour of Wicklow with our guide Richard, Thank you very much for taking the time to leave such a positive review.
