5.00Patrick was a wonderful tour guide and host! We were in Ireland for ten days and learned more about the history and culture of the country in our one day with Wild Wicklow then the other nine days combined. Highly recommend adding this on to your Dublin trip!
Thoughtful tour

5.00Came to the tour off of a recommendation and we’d recommend it now too. Our guide Patrick was thoughtful and personable. He made it a point to try to get to know everyone on the tour, and adjusted the tour when it was very rainy in the morning so we’d still get to see enough. Wicklow is so beautiful, but the drive to there is interesting too. You get some coastline and interesting facts along the way. Nice stops for coffee and lunch too. Great way to see Ireland outside Dublin for a day.
Great tour, awesome guide!

5.00We spent a brisk cold day with Patrick. The tour took us through Wicklow, which wouldn’t have been possible without renting a car. Patrick was wonderful - funny, entertaining and loaded with facts about everything. The sites were lovely and worth a trip to see.
A wonderful excursion had
