Wicklow, Glendalough and Powerscourt day tour from Dublin

Highly recommended. Well packed itinerary taking you to the outskirts of Dublin and you can get to see a lot of beautiful and wonderful places. Only negative aspect is the lunch place you were taken to, food rather simple and not delicious and a bit pricey.

Our tour guide was Elena (a cool girl with short hair and glasses). She explained Ireland's history, architecture, and related information about the trip in English along the way. In the morning, we spent at least an hour and a half on horseback in the two-hour horseback ride, riding through the woods to enjoy the mountain scenery, and then went to the local village for lunch. The shepherd's pie was very local and the coffee was rich. After lunch, the tour guide drove to the Wicklow Mountains. The mountains are surrounded by lakes, like the famous Guinness here. Later, we stayed in the mountains and forests and could walk around two lakes. The lakes were wide and calm, with many flat stones around. We could try skipping stones and taking pictures. The tour guide had good driving skills and controlled the rhythm just right.

Wicklow is absolutely worth visiting, even in the cold winter months. The bare mountains, still lakes, and quieter surroundings give the area a calm, reflective beauty, with far fewer crowds. Despite the cold, the horse-riding experience was enjoyable and well managed, making it a great activity even for beginners and a lovely way to take in the scenery. The experience was made even better by Derrick, our tour guide, who was both friendly and hilarious, adding warmth and humour to the journey. This trip felt more like an introduction to Wicklow than a one-time visit, and it left me keen to return in another season to experience the landscape in a different light.

Our tour guide, Derek, is a very gentlemanly and cultured man. He gave us just the right amount of space to explore. Originally, our planned trip to Wicklow and the sheepdog demonstration was canceled due to the weather, so I rebooked this tour. But this trip was absolutely worth the money. Wicklow is so beautiful that it made me a little sentimental. Being in the mountains made me feel really moved and forget a lot of unpleasant things. If you're physically up to it, the guide's recommendation to walk 25 minutes to see Upper Lake is also highly recommended. Glendalough Monastery is a great place with a strong sense of history. The whole trip, from 9 am to a little after 5 pm back to the city, was, in my opinion, just right and a very worthwhile trip. I highly recommend it to anyone who loves scenery.

The tour guide Ken is very enthusiastic and professional, and he is also very attentive. He introduced us to many scenic spots and stories. It is highly recommended.

I would so do this again! The tour was great and the horse riding was super fun even as someone with 0 horse riding experience.
