Reviews
Amazing experience and a lot of places to go. The guide and driver are approachable. We went to a castle that’s amazing to tour around. Walk around the city that has a lot of pretty buildings. The views are pleasing to the eyes. We went to take a view of the wicklow mountains that’s serene which is the same as Glendalough. Also, we saw herding of sheep by a trained dog. We met a new born lamb and puppy.
one of the best tours we have been on. gives us sufficient time to explore and it isnt as restrictive as the usual tours. we got Murphy as our tour guide who is very knowledgeable, entertaining and hilarious! highly recommend this tour!
Nice trip tho the weather is not in the best condition. The guide is very kind. The sheepdog demonstration is a bonus.
The trip is worth going. You can see the black face sheep.
The trip is very nice. The most remarkable is the black face sheep.
Our booking was cancelled but the operator had been very helpful with the refund process
I still haven't been reimbursed for the tour four days after my request. Surely all are interesting but avoided by the risk of cancellation

It was cold and wet the whole day but the Glendalough/Wicklow Mountains was beautiful! The sheepdog demo was the highlight as you see the interaction between dog and master. The guide Noel was high energy, very knowledgeable and always ready to offer advice and help. He recommended places to go, things to see and eat, what do in Dublin; can't recommend this tour enough.
JP was a fantastic guide who provided extra FOC guided tours of the various areas. He was accommodating and made an effort to interact with every person on the tour. The tour itself was lovely and the Wicklow Mountains are truly a sight to behold.
Amazing! I loved Kilkenny Castle and I loved that we could have the option to explore it on our own. The weather got kind of foggy up in the Wicklow mountains so I couldn't take a good picture of the purple hills, but that's okay. Glendalough and the surrounding forest was breathtaking. And the sheepdog trial was a great way to cap off the tour, particularly the selfie with the lamb. Would recommend!
