A tour with Niall - We explored Wild Wicklow Mountains - our Tourguide was Niall, he fulfilled every wish, there was no denial. Together with our fellows riding the bus, into the wastness of Ireland, no one stopping us. The information - history, culture, all of the lot, Niall surely knew a story for each single spot. Cruising over hills and trough the valleys, in between food and drinks for our bellies. Jokes and laughter - a trip full of humour, Niall a comedian in secret - so the rumour. Wild Wicklow mountains - this is the place to be, so much more to experience there, you will see! One last thing to say: If you want a tour with style, ask for him, the one and only - our tourguide Niall.

Best day tour ever!!! - We had such an amazing time with Ashley as our guide today. What lovely man! He went out of his way to accommodate my mums needs (she has recently had a hip replacement so is less mobile than usual) and he couldn’t have been more helpful if he’d tried! The tour was great and the views were stunning, despite the liquid sunshine! 😂 The mini coach was modern and comfortable, and was very clean. The day was very well planned out with various stops along the way. Ashley was very knowledgeable and informative, telling us a lot of the history of various places and sharing some of his own memories of places from years past. Lunch at the pub was delicious and in no way did we feel rushed or hurried along at any point. Overall, we were super impressed and thought our day trip to the mountains was outstanding. Thank you again Ashley, you truly made it a very special day.

Beyond Our Wildest Wicklow Dreams!! - We are two sisters who booked this trip as a way to see the natural beauty of the Wicklow mountains while in Dublin for a vacation. This was the #1 highlight of our trip in Ireland, largely thanks to our fantastic guide, Patrick. Patrick’s commentary was the perfect balance between informational and entertaining, making for a warm welcome to Ireland. The bus tour included cozy indoor stops and several short hikes to stunning lookouts. Even with a little bit of snow and rain, the views were breathtaking. Patrick truly made the trip, he was full of facts about history, pop culture, Irish laws and customs, and more! This trip 100% lived up to the ad on the side of the bus!!

Kind, down-to-earth, eye opening, worth every cent - I’ve never gone on TripAdvisor. The fact that I bothered to sign in and create an account just to write this really goes to suggest the length of my gratitude towards the tour guide Pat (I suppose Pat for Patrick?). His kindness. Genuinity. Respect even to other people on the road whom he doesn’t know. If you’re looking for a tour where you get to see the highlights not too far from Dublin, and yet enjoy an “off-the-beaten” track experience with a SMALL group of tourist and an extremely personable guide, you’re at the right place. Of the 40 countries I’ve visited, Ireland has come out right on top, in part due to the hospitality and service oriented-ness of the Wild Wicklow, and in other parts due to the sheer kindness, professionalism and passion that everyone in Dublin had displayed — from the GPO, to the bookstores, to the mountains. I know it gets tiring sometimes to deal with tourists day in, day out— but I’m leaving this note to let you know what a difference you’ve made to someone’s life by showing me not only mountains, but pure Irish hospitality. This service orientedness is in stark contrast to close-by places in Europe that I’ve experienced. Kudos to Pat, Kudos to the Wild Wicklow, Kudos to Ireland.

History, beauty, excitement, a touch of the Irish and a toast: what could be better? - This tour and our guide were the perfect combination to top off a magical trip to Ireland. We were entertained with history, astounding facts, legends, and beautiful sites. Our guide was a never ending wealth of knowledge, wit, and laughter, A perfectly entertaining gentleman who treated us to a nip of Jamison to boot!
