Entertaining and educational! - Gillian was our guide and we had a lovely day with her local background she kept us entertained with just the right amount of history, context, botany, background on contemporary Ireland and even some gossip. Really great time, many couples, and friends and anyone would feel welcomed. The scenery is already beautiful all you need to know is a little bit of the how and why to help really get a sense of the country! Thoroughly recommend!

Great way to see Wicklow... - Great way to see Wicklow and Glendalough without having to drive yourself. Derrick was a good guide and we had plenty of time at each spot. Be aware you might have people in your group doing a few different morning activities and may have to drop them off/pick them up before the hike. The upper and lower lakes in Glendalough were beautiful! I’d love to go back with more time in the future.

Wonderful day at Wicklow- Glendalough - Linda was our guide. She was very informative and knowledgeable about the areas we were visiting. . Answered all our questions. We did a guided walk with Linda and she pointed out all the sights for us to view. She gave clear explanations of our agenda for the day. We had a wonderful experience. We ate lunch at Poppies and it was delicious. . We would definitely do another tour with Linda in the future.

Watch your step - The walking tour/ Hike offered some great photo opportunities. The natural beauty was really nice. I’d suggest the park enforce pet waste as the trail had many dog bits along the way left for hikers. The Glendalough tour was nice and a great chance to learn about early Christianity in Ireland.

Unfortunately not as described - Derek gave the impression of wanting to go home quickly and did not offer everything, did not stop where it was agreed. You can expect this weather in Ireland and you shouldn't talk yourself out of it. Besides, his driving style was very fast and I didn't feel safe.
