Majella was a great guide for our full day tour. She communicated with us before the day of our tour to confirm time and location of our pickup. She arrived on time and provided us with a wealth of historical information as we made our way out of the city. Even though the weather was a bit gloomy, the tour was well worth it and we would highly recommend it to anyone looking to get the most out of a tour of the Dublin area.
Idyllic day trip with the perfect guide

This day trip to idyllic countryside from Dublin with Diana as our guide was fantastic from beginning to end. I traveled with my two children (10 and 4). It was a very last minute trip, booked the night before, but she was prompt and professional and coordinated all of the logistics. Diana tailored the experience beautifully to make sure that all three of us got maximum enjoyment from the trip. She had deep knowledge about the history around the places we visited, and was very personable. She even offered to take all of the photos of the trip for us to download later, so that we could enjoy the day without taking out our phones. For the kids, she added small little treats, such as a flora/fauna detective hunt at Powerscourt Gardens, a trip to the playground at Powerscourt Waterfall, and an ice cream break at Glendalough. My daughter is obsessed with Tangled (the Rapunzel animated film), and Diana found a way to take us a stone tower at Glendalough that was exactly like the one in the film. Our family is vegetarian, and for lunch Diana found an authentic Irish restaurant in Laragh that was also vegetarian-friendly. We couldn't have asked for a better trip. The sights themselves did not disappoint, and Diana as the guide made sure to keep all ages happy and relaxed throughout.

What a wonderful trip! Diana picked us up at our hotel and drove us over to Powerscourt then to the Wicklow Mountains and Glendalough. Everything was perfect. She even made sure we had vegetarian lunch options, which was an unexpected surprise. The mountains are stunning and Diana has a vast knowledge of trees and plants, which was really lovely for us as we wanted to know what all the different trees and flowers were. I only wish we had more time with her and hope to return to do a longer hiking trip with her in the future. I can’t recommend this tour more. Five stars ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️
