Highlights
- Molly Malone Statue - Depart from Dublin at 08:30am. Meet your guide and fellow travellers at the Molly Malone Statue on Suffolk Street to begin an unforgettable day exploring Co. Wicklow, known as the ‘Garden of Ireland’.
- Beyond the Trees Avondale - Beyond the Trees, is the first of its kind in Ireland, a spectacular new visitor attraction that only opened in 2022. Explore the treetop walk and viewing tower at Avondale and enjoy incredible views of Ireland’s ‘Gardens Country’ countryside. If you are feeling brave enough, you can get a slide down the tower to the bottom at an additional cost.
- Hollywood - We will take a short trip into Hollywood, also known as ‘the original Hollywood,’ a small village in Wicklow that boasted the name long before Hollywood in California even existed. Your guide will take you for a walk through the valley here. See if you can spot Wicklow’s version of the Hollywood sign
- Glendalough Monastic Settlement - We then visit the beautiful valley and Monastic site of Glendalough. This is where Saint Kevin settled in the 6th Century, evidence of which still can be seen via 10th/ 11th Century monastic site perched between the hills. Explore the monastic site and take in your surroundings and let your spirit run free. Here you get 1.5 hours to discover the area, before we continue our journey.
- Wicklow - Experience the working side of Wicklow with a visit to a working Irish sheep farm. Meet your friendly local farmer who will introduce you to farm life, from the diverse farming practices of sheep farming to organic vegetable growing. The highlight of this stop is a sheepdog exhibition where the farmer will coral the sheep with his trusty border collies. We are the only tour company that introduces you to the real working and living side of Wicklow!

Pleasantly surprised - I usually try to avoid big bus tours but due to travel issues we had to reschedule a couple things and this was one of the few an available and we totally lucked out. The weather created a perfect fall day- a little chili and misty at first but then a little sunshine and dry. Our guide was great and the trip was the perfect length to see the country and some history

Good day trip from Dublin - Great tour. Lots of free time, very comfortable bus. Our guide/driver was wonderful. One almost problem was the meeting place. There was no announcement or sign for the tour. We saw a group leaving at 820am ( meeting time was 830am). Fortunately we followed them and asked or we would have missed the tour.

When Irish Eyes are Smiling - Derrick was our guide for the day and we thoroughly enjoyed our trip. He made it so much fun - we sang the Molly Malone song and When Irish Eyes Are Smiling. He was funny, gentle, and a great tour guide. I hope everyone who takes this trip are lucky enough to get Derrick!

Not to be Trusted - We booked this tour a few days in advance. I received a confirmation email and a reminder email the day before. We go to the meeting place and the bus never shows up. When I was able to get them on the phone (an hour later), I was told they had to cancel the trip and someone should have sent me an email. I checked every folder, but no such email was sent, nor did I receive a call. I am now waiting to see if my refund clears or if I will have to dispute the charges. A truly awful customer experience.

Waste of a morning - It never happened. The tour got cancelled & we were never informed. Waited for an hour for a bus that didn’t arrive then had to search where to get refunded for a tour I booked months ago.

Bad Experience with Inexperienced Tour Guide - We were assigned an inexperienced Tour Guide who left us all stranded at each site, spoke very little on the bus. No stop was made at sheep farm, as advertised, as driver got lost driving and got stuck on a private residential dirt road and needed the help of the homeowner to back out. Total waste or our hard earned money for over 10 hours. You should refund all passengers immediately!! Never again!!
