5.00Had a wonderful daytrip with our guide Mac and driver Brian. They even provided lovely weather for the whole day. Many good stories, lovely singing and most of all great knowledge made this a well spent day. Lovely scenery in Wicklow mountains, old history and interesting monestary ruins in Glendalough and lovely Kilkenny makes til trip highly reccomended.
Fantastic Trip!

5.005 stars isn’t enough! This was an incredible tour with 2 fantastic people. Brian was an outstanding driver and kept us safe on city streets, mountain passes, and back country roads. Mac, our guide, provided interesting stories along the way and his beautiful songs were an added bonus. He was a joy to spend the day with, and if you’re lucky enough to travel with these two Irish gentlemen, you won’t be disappointed. My wife and I cannot recommend them highly enough.

5.00Had a wonderful time visiting all three places! It is a great way to get out of Dublin and see some sites close by without having to worry about driving. The town of Kilkenny has plenty of shops and restaurants and you have ample time to eat lunch and walk around. There is also a cathedral and a brewery you can explore while there for an additional fee. Tip: If you bring a backpack lunch, you will have more time to explore Kilkenny. We wish we had because it would have allowed for more exploration time. Mac was a great tour guide who sang Irish songs and told us the history of all the places. Brian was an excellent driver.
A Rousing Jaunt

5.00This tour was just right. We visited wonderful locations and the tour guide gave us optional guided tours in both locations. You could explore on your own or hear some history. She talked just the right amount on the bus. The bus driver also was great. He parallel parked in Kilkenny!!! What an amazing time. Strongly recommend.
Highly recommend
