Fall 2026
We loved the Wicklow mountains in the fall. It was so beautiful. Our tour guide was so nice and friendly.
Beautiful Scenery in the...
Beautiful Scenery in the Wicklow Mountains I took the Glendalough and Wicklow Mountains afternoon tour during my visit to Dublin, Ireland. The scenery was beautiful, and I really enjoyed the opportunity to get outside the city and experience a different side of Ireland. Glendalough was particularly memorable, with its historic surroundings, lakes, and natural beauty. I was able to take some great pictures throughout the experience, which made this a memorable part of my visit. For anyone visiting Dublin who wants to see some of Ireland's countryside and historic sites without having to organize everything independently, this is a worthwhile excursion to consider. Overall, I'm glad I included Glendalough and the Wicklow Mountains in my Ireland itinerary.
Unhappy travellers! No recommendation from us.
The day we travelled there was a short wet and windy weather event. Result: Five minutes into the walking tour the driver guide abandoned us (ran back to the bus) because he did not want to get wet. Consequently onsite we learnt nothing. For non English tourists (there were many) his Irish brogue would have been very difficult to understand. He kept wondering aloud why very few were following him. We do not recommend this company on the basis of the experience.
A great day trip
A great day had by all, the journey and banter were great, some of the historical facts were a bit dubious, but we all had a great laugh. Definitely worth the money
Wet walk in Wicklow!!
Nice drive to the park. Bus driver was great, funny and had great little stories and history to share. The weather didn’t cooperate so we walked around the park in the pouring rain. The traffic was backed up heading back to Dublin so our driver gave us a little extra by driving back a different route.
