5.00We had a wonderful experience with Gillian as our private tour guide for the day. She picked us up at the airport (after an overnight flight) and kept us engaged throughout the day - we learned a lot from her about the history of Ireland and the people and culture.

5.00We had the most wonderful private tour with Gillian! She was an excellent guide—warm, knowledgeable, and happy to answer all of our questions along the way. We especially liked exploring the beautiful Powerscourt Gardens and ending the day at the peaceful Glendalough Lake. We got to enjoy a local restaurant where we had a some delicious Irish dishes in a great atmosphere. It was the perfect day trip during our time in Dublin, and would definitely recommend this experience to friends traveling to the area!
Touring Wicklow Mountains for ancestral information and insight. Truly an insightful and unforgettable experience.

5.00I honestly can't say enough about how fascinating this tour was. We requested a private ancestral tour taking us into Glenmalure. Gillian did not disappoint, she provided in depth information on our family's roots in the Wicklow Mountains, along with churches and gravesites. Lunch at the Glenmalure Lodge was simply delicious (especially the lamb). HilltopTreks did a terrific job organizing this tour and I would highly recommend them.
Great private day trip not far outside Dublin!!

5.00Linda was fantastic! She was willing to tailor the day to our requests and allowed us time needed to enjoy multiple stops, and still enjoy a delicious sit down lunch. She even added a sheep dog demo which our family really enjoyed to finish the day! Beautiful fun day not too far outside the Dublin area with a great guide who gives tons of background and history. Perfect for our last full day in Ireland!
we had a wonderful time. ...

Powerscourt Gardens, Wicklow Mountains & Glendalough

5.00We had a full day private tour starting at the beautiful Powerscourt Gardens then we visited the Wicklow Mountains National Park and had many opportunities to take some great photos. We stopped for a nice lunch at the Wicklow Heather restaurant and then finished up visiting the monastic site in Glendalough as well as the lakes. All in all it was a very nice way to spend the day outside of Dublin.
Exceptional Experience Very Personable

5.00Well organized trip to avoid the unpredictable Ireland weather. Tour guide was very personable and accommodating. In the end the weather prevailed however the ability to adjust the tour made our day very enjoyable. Covered Irish history, detailed commentary of the beautiful countryside and areas that we visited. It was a very special memorable day for our group. Thank you Gillian for an amazing day in our lives.
Awesome Day around Dublin

5.00Extraordinary tour with Gillian as our guide. This was a private tour and was so worthwhile! We were so lucky to have Gillian to ourselves as she is extremely knowledgeable and shares the beauty stories, history and information of all locations. A very cultured and smart woman. The places where we went were BEAUTIFUL! We have so many incredible memories and we are so grateful and happy to have gone. Thank you Gillian! :)
