What a great day out. Visiting 6 pubs in six different spots. Great scenery, great fun. And the best of hosts - Shane might know everyone in Ireland it seems. Would do it all over again next time we are there.

Mountain Pub Tour Very good. Amazing social driver. Great atmosphere throughout the trip, while also getting lots of interesting information. Small group makes it feel extra good. Visit 6 fantastic genuine pubs, where several served local beer.

Shane was an excellent host. His knowledge of the area was amazing. We had a group of 9 people of mixed ages on the bus but there was something for everyone on this tour. The pubs he took us to all had their own unique quirkiness about them and the locals all spoke to us and made us feel welcome.

The Wicklow Mountain Tour was beyond incredible—truly one of the highlights of our trip! Every moment was perfectly curated, from the jaw‑dropping scenery and charming villages to the lively pubs, unforgettable music, and phenomenal whiskey. Shane was an absolute star—an exceptional host and driver who was knowledgeable, warm, and endlessly entertaining. His stories, insights, and singing brought the landscape to life and made the experience feel uniquely personal. This tour didn’t just meet expectations—it far exceeded them. It was a once‑in‑a‑lifetime experience, and we’re already counting the days until we can return. If you’re visiting Ireland, Wicklow Mountain Tours is an absolute must!

The best experience we could have imagined! Our guide, Shane, was full of spirit and knowledge and took us to places that we could not have found on our own. Shane also knew the locals at each stop and introduced us to them and it was fun talking with them. In between stops we chatted about Ireland, listened to Irish music and learned the meaning behind some of the traditional songs. Shane gave us a menu for dinner and had our food ordered before going to the pub that served us. It was delicious! Shane was also knowledgeable about the beer and whiskey served at each stop which helped us choose what we wanted to try. At our last stop, we listened to what they call a “session” where several locals gathered to play banjos, violins, piccolo/flute, and guitar. It was amazing!!! 100 out of 5 stars, we will do this again.
