Wonderful experience, the comedy started the second we entered the bus. Eoin has a nice kind of humour and even more special: he talked 8 hours straight without nonsense (well ok a little bit sometimes). It made a seemingly boring bus drive to some trees (sorry girlfriend) so much easier to endure, time flew by! The trip itself is wonderful, lots of different sights. The tour guide had in-depth information about local sites as well, so with every piece of road, we learned a bit more. I would highly recommend this tour!

We met a 9 AM and returned just after 6 PM. Our guide was Eoin who gave us a witty and energetic commentary during the entire trip save the final hour on our way back when we collected our thoughts. Eoin is a natural storyteller who informed us of the history and cultural background of the area along with personal stories of his life in Dublin and County Wicklow. We had several stops to view the scenery along with stops for coffee, lunch, and a 2-hour stay at Glendalough. Lunch was self-pay, but the restaurant was wonderful with a good selection of food at reasonable prices. This was better than a tour selected meal with no choice. The 2-hour stay at Glendalough included a guided walk led by Eoin who has an impressive familiarity with the plants and trees in the park. I highly recommend this tour for those staying in Dublin more than a couple of days.

We had a wonderful time today touring the Wicklow Mountains and Glendalough with our witty and knowledgeable guide/driver Eoin. He made the trip twice as enjoyable with his humour and anecdotes. He went above and beyond to make this tour fun for everyone. Would HIGHLY RECOMMEND this tour.

Highly recommend this trip, which exceeded my expectations. Well-paced with plenty of stops to get out and properly appreciate the landscape and take photographs. Full 2 hours at Glendalough, so time to fully appreciate it. Our guide Eoin was amazing and provided so much information and gave us so many laughs - all whilst driving the bus! He also led us on a very interesting walk around Glendalough. Will definitely book with Grayline again.

Perfect as an escape from more urban areas of Dublin. As soon as we were picked up in the city centre, our guide Eoin started pointing out sites of interest. He had a great deal to say about almost everything we passed, delivered with enthusiasm and the very occasional joke. In fact, I don't think he stopped talking until the end of the tour! But in that time managed to cover all sorts of topics from Irish politics and history to the wildlife around Wicklow, the good craic made the bus journey fly by. The journey was also broken up by lots of stops along the way to see Guinness Lake (Lough Tay), the Ps. I Love you bridge and finally Glendalough. Here you could walk around freely or follow Eoin on a walk through the 17th-century monastery, which I would recommend, as he also shared his extensive knowledge of the monastery's history. The walk also took us past the two lakes that the valley is famous for, which are extremely picturesque. The tour finished at the quiet former mining town of Avoca, where you could have lunch at the pub or just explore for an hour. However, I would suggest bringing food to snack on throughout the day as you will arrive in Avoca at around 15:30. All in all, definitely worth the money.

Eddie the driver and Dave the guide were absolute. I've done many, many tours like this, and this was by far my favourite one day experience. Dave's knowledge and personality and sensitivity to the group's needs were unparalleled. He regaled us with Fascinating and accurate Irish history but knew when to put the mic down. Eddie's driving was skilled on those narrow passageways. Incredible value. Memorable time. Lovely experience. 14/10. Definitely would do it all over again.

Not knowing what to do on our first day in Dublin, we went ahead and booked tickets online for Glendalough and Wicklow Mountains Day Trip with privatetour.com.The trip starts from the city centre and ends around 5.30 pm on the eve. Overall, a day well spent, thanks to our guide/driver Eion. He is super humorous, knowledgeable about the history of Ireland and open to answering any of your curious questions. The 1.30-hour walk in Glendalough, along with a visit to the monastery, was perfect on a sunny day. Soak in the greenery at the Wicklow National Park and enjoy the serene view of the Upper Lake as you walk along.

De dagtrip naar de Wicklow Mountains is absoluut de moeite waard! Onze chauffeur Eoin praatte de gehele dag aan elkaar en gaf ons veel wetenswaardigheden over de Ieren en Ierland mee. We hadden ongelooflijk geluk met het weer en konden genieten van de prachtige uitzichten, genoeg vrije wandeltijd in Glendalough en een heerlijke lunch in het prachtige Avoca. Zeker doen!
