Highlights

This is a private tour with a flexible start time according to your wishes. Situated around one hour south of Dublin is some of Ireland's most beautiful countryside in the Wicklow Mountains National Park where I grew up walking the trails and exploring every inch of it. Let me bring you to my favourite places where I know you will have a great time.

  1. Voted the third greatest garden in the world, Powerscourt Gardens have something for everybody. Three hundred years of history, great works of art, magnificent scenery, stunning flowers, and trees. It's a must-see for visitors to Ireland. You will be walking in the footsteps of British royalty, American Presidents, European Royalty, Movie Stars, and lots more. There is also great shopping for Irish-made goods, a cafe with delicious cakes and food, and a whiskey distillery on site. It's a great place to begin your day in Wicklow.

  2. One of Ireland's highest mountain passes with stunning scenery along its route, it's famous for the views over the Guinness lake where countless movies and TV Shows have been made such as Braveheart, Excaliber, P. S. I Love You, and the Vikings TV series. We will stop for photographs along the way on route to lunch while you hear stories of the many famous people who lived and worked there. .

  3. Set in a beautiful valley in the heart of the Wicklow Mountains National Park, the 6th-century ancient monastic city of Glendalough is the best-preserved ruins from the period when Ireland was the only Christian place in western Europe and a centre of learning. Following a guided tour of the remains, there are lots of beautiful trails to explore along the two lakes.

    2 hAdmission included

  4. We will have lunch in a typical Irish pub or restaurant depending on your preference such as in Johnnie Foxes founded in 1798 and full of good food, stories, and great local beers, whiskeys and gins.

About Dublin

Dublin is Ireland's friendly, literary capital on the River Liffey, a city of Georgian squares, historic pubs, live music and a gift for storytelling.

Trinity College holds the illuminated Book of Kells and the soaring Long Room library, while Dublin Castle, Christ Church Cathedral and St Patrick's Cathedral trace the city's medieval and colonial past. Georgian squares such as Merrion Square, with their brightly painted doors, and the green expanse of St Stephen's Green provide elegant calm.
