Great way to see Wicklow... - Great way to see Wicklow and Glendalough without having to drive yourself. Derrick was a good guide and we had plenty of time at each spot. Be aware you might have people in your group doing a few different morning activities and may have to drop them off/pick them up before the hike. The upper and lower lakes in Glendalough were beautiful! I’d love to go back with more time in the future.

Wonderful day at Wicklow- Glendalough - Linda was our guide. She was very informative and knowledgeable about the areas we were visiting. . Answered all our questions. We did a guided walk with Linda and she pointed out all the sights for us to view. She gave clear explanations of our agenda for the day. We had a wonderful experience. We ate lunch at Poppies and it was delicious. . We would definitely do another tour with Linda in the future.

We had a great day, good... - We had a great day, good hike with Derek, who told us a lot about nature in the national park and about the landscape arount Carrickgollogan (the hill we climbed). We also had enough time around Glendalough Monastic Settlement to visit the Guiness Lakes.

Julia was amazing - Julian was beyond amazing. She helped myself and my brother out by giving us local ideas, she helped us find a beautiful Bed and Breakfast. She truly went above and beyond. She was the highlight of our vacation. We couldn’t had asked for a better person. She is a gem. 10/10

Great day! - Beautiful morning hike to see the best views of seaside and surrounding Dublin. Our guide was great and walked as he explained the history and flora and fauna indigenous to the area. Also, we really enjoyed lunch at poppies and afternoon hike exploring St. Kevin's monastery.

Don't let rain hold you back - Weatherwise, the trip started out in strong rains. But all us tourists at the Molly Macguire statue were stoutly devoted to our plans for the day. Our guide, Linda, did not disappoint. She promptly picked us up as scheduled and headed directly for the Dublin Hills to commence our hike. By the time we arrived at the trailhead, rain has abated and clouds were lifted just enough to grant us views from the hilltop. Then on to a wonderful hot lunch followed by a driving tour of the Wicklow Mountains. Heather was just coming into color, and the scenery was breathtaking.

Lovely day out of the city - We had a lovely day out to the beautiful wicklow mountains. We were only us 2 for the guided walk. Unfortunately the weather wasn't in our favor and it was a cloudy day so we didnt have the best views, but we saw it as all part of the irish experience and still made a fun day out of it!

Disappointing hike - The hike was under power lines most of the way, not a very pretty area, but the views at the top of the hill were nice. Totally not worth the time though.
