Wonderful Day Trip

Wonderful experience seeing the countryside! Our guide and driver Conor was excellent. The waterfall and surroundings were stunning. We saw deer at Glendalough - at upper lake and near the visitor's center. Sheepdog Show was the highlight of the day! Two little sheep in particular had the pup's full attention to keep in line with the rest of the sheep, which was fun to watch. Would do this again for sure!
