Great day outside of... - Great day outside of Dublin. Our driver Matthew was friendly and gave us the right amount of history, folklore and information while still letting us have time to explore in our own.

Great Experience - The views were awesome. Even though the weather wasn’t cooperating, we had a great time. Convenient way to explore some of the Wicklow National Park and surrounding area when you only have a little bit of time!

Countryside tour - I've just completed a 10 day stay in Ireland and this trip was my favorite. The views and hikes were beautiful. Our guide was born in Dublin and spoke about some history and general Irish information. The sheep dog demo was interesting, and we had fun watching and meeting the dogs and sheep.

Excellent!! - Visiting the Glendalough Ecclesiastical Settlement was surreal. The sheep dog demo was very interesting as well.

Tour guide and activities were excellent - Great experience and lots of hiking. Tour should be recommended for 12 and up. A couple brought an infant with a stroller, very difficult to get around on the stone trails. Plus, not expected on this type of trip.

Amazing day in the country - We really appreciated getting out of the city and spending the day in the country. We had a gorgeous, sunny day seeing the sheep, cows, horses, beautiful waterfall and walking the lower lake. Flann was THE BEST tour guide! He is funny, informative, patient, knowledgeable, thoughtful, kind and super at driving the narrow, curvy roads. One of the best tours we took during our travels. Highly recommend!

Beautiful but they omitted the sheepdog demo - Very good guide. Disappointed that we didn’t see the sheepdog demo and the guide didn’t explain why it was omitted. But the area is beautiful

Trip out of Dublin - Lovely day out to the mountain and waterfall. Sheepdog demo was cute. Tour / bus driver was pleasant and did a great job driving the bus on those narrow roads but had a bit of difficulty using the microphone and it was hard to hear him speaking

Bad experience - We all enjoyed the waterfall but the dog/ sheep show wasn’t really a show, 4 sheep , 2kids and one day in training , very unprofessional, but the worst part of the trip was watching our driver, he was not comfortable during a big bus, we spent over a half hour watching him try to maneuver a turn over a bridge while all the cars waited , nice man, just not ready for that bus and those roads

Excursion did not match itinerary - The experience was not what was in the description. The tour guide (I don’t believe he told his name). He was very hard to understand. The intercom system was not great. He did not explain anything about the excursion. I had to keep asking. Took us to waterfall (spent an hour there) then told us we would be at the glenadough park for 3 hours! No sheep herding demo no farm life. I asked he said oh that’s been cancelled!!! There is a hotel for lunch and a snack bar. The food was horrible at the hotel. There was a food cart as you enter the park but we did not know that. Would have been better to eat at the cart than at the hotel. After 3 hours at the park he drove us to Hollywood. Yes this was in the description but by then it was after 4:00 and the cafe was closed. There was a tiny gift shop. We had about 20 min to spend there. There was nothing to do there. Began our drive back at 4:30. Returned back to Dublin at 5:30. The description stated 4:30 approximately. The beauty of the waterfall and park was great but was very disappointed in the excursion. At the very least we should have been informed that the sheep herding demo was cancelled prior to leaving for the trip. we were 2 hours into the trip and I had to ask what was going on! Not good! He gave us no updated itinerary.
