Kilkenny, Wicklow, and Glendalough Tour from Dublin

it was great. the tour guide Carol was lovely. I was just a bit dismayed in the sheepdog demo part of the tour cause we didn’t get to hold a baby lamb. the working dog didn’t follow its masters order and the sheep’s run out on seperate direction. Too bad, it’s the only reason I booked this trip. but overall, it’s a nice experience.

Kilkenny, Wicklow, and Glendalough all in one day , and every stop delivered. Ireland’s countryside is stunning, and this tour does a great job of showing you the best of it. Big shoutout to Carol our guide and Ana our driver, both were fantastic and really made the day. Carol brought so much life to each destination, and Ana kept everything smooth from start to finish. The sheepdog demonstration was honestly a highlight 🥹 watching the Border Collie herd the flock with the Glendalough valley as the backdrop was something I won’t forget. Such a uniquely Irish experience. Highly recommend. Don’t think twice about booking this one.

Departed Dublin at 8 AM, arrived in Kilkenny at 10 AM (1 hour 20 minute stay), then returned to Dublin via the Wicklow Mountains and Glendalough. The medieval city of Kilkenny was so beautiful that I regretted the short time we spent there. The Wicklow Mountains were also lovely, and the hike in Glendalough was great. We traveled comfortably on a very clean and pleasant large bus. Our guide (I'm sorry, I forgot their name) was also very professional. It was wonderful to see Ireland's beautiful nature at such a good travel price.

My tour guide, Miss Aoife, was a young, kind, and thoughtful local Irish woman. She was enthusiastic and energetic, providing detailed explanations of each attraction, helping with photos, and offering important tips. At the end, she even gave us a recommended sightseeing list for Dublin, which was incredibly thoughtful. The driver, Mr. Young Thomas, was also gentle and a bit shy, always smiling. The overall itinerary was very well-planned and allowed ample time for visiting each site. It was a wonderful trip.

The tour guide was very professional and provided detailed and informative explanations throughout the journey. The scenery along the way was absolutely beautiful, and every spot was picture-perfect! As a solo traveler, I felt very comfortable and safe throughout the trip, and I never had to worry about getting lost. The guide also recommended great local restaurants, which was very helpful. Even without doing much research beforehand, I could simply relax and enjoy the trip with complete peace of mind. Highly recommended!

A hundred points to the tour guide Oli and driver Brian! Oli is a young man, but he has a very deep understanding of Irish history. He vividly and easily introduces the background and history of one attraction after another, even explaining the common Irish surname "O'", and how the surname came about. Moreover, his accent is not heavy at all. As a Hong Konger, I can understand more than 80% of what he says. Being able to clearly understand the historical background and jokes really adds to the trip! The scenery is beautiful, and the small towns are rustic. Although the main focus of going to Kilkenny is to see the castle, I highly recommend that everyone also take the time to visit St. Mary's Cathedral. Admission is free, and there are not many tourists because most of them go to the castle. The church has a large space, is sacred and solemn, yet doesn't lack a sense of life. It is a real church where you can sit anywhere, and there are people praying and lighting candles inside. The statues and murals inside are very delicate and worth spending time to visit. I also strongly recommend that everyone take a walk in the streets and alleys. It's a stark contrast to Dublin, not as busy, and the residents feel more relaxed. This whole tour really allows you to slow down, and there is enough time to visit each attraction. It is definitely not the type where you get off the bus for a minute to take a photo. The driver also told us jokes on the way back to liven up the atmosphere. This price is really great value for money. There is a dedicated person to explain everything, the bus is spacious, and you can get on and off in the city center. I will definitely recommend my friends to come again!

An unforgettable day trip to Kilkenny, Wicklow & Glendalough! A beautifully organised tour made exceptional by our fantastic guide, Aoife, and skilled driver, Bea. Aoife was warm, funny, and full of fascinating stories that brought each stop to life, from medieval Kilkenny to the legends of Glendalough and the stunning viewpoints of the Wicklow Mountains. Bea’s smooth, safe driving made the journey relaxing throughout. Glendalough’s monastic site and lakes were peaceful and memorable, while the Wicklow Mountains offered breathtaking scenery despite the rain. The Irish Sheepdog Demonstration was an unexpected highlight. Kilkenny, with its castle and charming medieval streets, was the perfect final stop. Overall, a wonderful, well-paced tour made unforgettable by an amazing team. Highly recommended.

This trip offered incredible value for money! Not only did we have fantastic weather, but we also had an amazing tour guide named Oli. He was incredibly knowledgeable and very witty, recounting Ireland's history in a captivating way that was never boring. It was a truly unforgettable experience, both culturally and scenically!

We had an amazing experience on this tour. Everything was well organized, the stops were beautiful, and we learned so much along the way. Richard was a fantastic guide: knowledgeable, friendly, and genuinely passionate. Highly recommend.

An awesome trip for an affordable price. Learn a good bit about the history of Ireland.
