Amazing horseback riding through stunning forest - The horseback riding was an amazing experience through stunning beautiful forests. There was instruction given at first and then a solid 1 hr at least on the trails. Later, the scenic stops at the bridge etc, were okay (it was rainy and cloudy which isn’t their fault). The stop at Glendalough was a good amount of time. I was glad for the amount of time spent horseback riding. The van could have been a bit better as our family was in the very back row which is more squished. Advice: Sit in seats that aren’t in the back row. However the van was fine and the driver was quirky and funny. There was a lady (other customer) who was complaining that she was scared of horseback riding and that they gave her a ‘bad horse’. I wondered why she chose the excursion. Let’s just say the horse was not the problem. The horses were all well mannered and skilled in walking over uneven trails. The food at Poppy’s was great and there was fast service. Overall, the horseback riding made the experience great!

horseback ride + hike - Great small group trip - the horse ride was lovely although some of it is through not especially scenic woods. The ride and walk in Glendalough was wonderful. The guide was very nice but this is less of a tour as much as it is 2 activities in 1 excursion. For us it was perfect.

Good time! - Good time with good weather! Very pretty drive. The horseback riding trail went through the woods making it a shady ride which was great to get out of the sun.

Wonderful trail ride and a thorough introduction to Wicklow & Glendalough - As an equestrian, I look forward to riding when I travel… but don’t let the description intimidate you! This was a 100% beginner-friendly ride, with interesting enough trail to keep a more experienced rider interested. Gorgeous views, and Gillian brought humor, warmth and lots of interesting information to the tours. (Although I had no idea what “PS I love you” was about, the bridge was pretty enough - it was a brief stop!) Bring water and a fan - the bus can get warm!
