Wicklow, Powerscourt, and Glendalough Tour from Dublin

• Plenty of independent exploration time—great for independent travelers

• Commentary from a guide on the area's history, culture, and environment

• Round-trip transportation from Dublin eliminates the need to rent a car

Step aboard your tour vehicle in Dublin and relax immediately, knowing your day in County Wicklow has all been planned out for you. Enjoy the fact that instead of puzzling over directions and traffic, you can simply sit back and enjoy the scenery. The first stop is Powerscourt Gardens (own expense), where you have free time to explore the formal gardens and statuary on your own. Your guide is on hand to recommend the must-sees in the facility. Midday, stop in the Victorian village of Enniskerry for lunch (own expense) and some time to look around. Move on to the Wicklow Mountains National Park, to visit Sally Gap, the Guinness Estate, and Lough Tay. Listen to your guide's commentary on the historic and environmental importance of the park. Around midafternoon, reach Glendalough, a 6th-century monastic site, where you have time to explore independently before returning to Dublin.
