Know More about this tour

Make your way to the prearranged meeting point in central Dublin on the day of your tour. Then, after meeting with your guide, hop aboard an air-conditioned coach and travel south toward County Wicklow, known as the Garden of Ireland.
Gaze out of the windows as you travel through rural Ireland, taking in postcard-perfect views of rolling green countryside and the wild bogland and heather fields of Sally gap, where scenes from Braveheart were filmed. Youll also learn about the legend and folklore that surrounds Glencree Valley.

Stop at the picturesque Lough tay, otherwise known as Guinness Lake, a small lake set in the Wicklow mountains that resembles a pint of the black stuff. Then, perhaps recreate your very own P.S. I Love You moment at the bridge where Holly and Gerry kissed in the hit film.
Continue on to Glendalough, nestled in Wicklow mountains national park. Renowned for its stunning natural beauty and history, the 6th-century monastic settlement is one of Irelands most visited spots. With up to two hours to spend here, stroll around the sites scattered ruins, which include the famous Round Tower, and learn about St Kevin, the founder of the ancient monastery. If theres time, you might wish to take a stroll through the woods to the pretty lower or Upper lake.

Then its on to Johnnie Foxs Pub, located in the highest village in Ireland. Tuck into a hearty Irish lunch and maybe toast to a wonderful day with a measure of Irish whiskey (both at your own expense).

With your appetite sated, return to Dublin, where your tour concludes with a drop-off in the city center.

We had a great trip and will strongly recommend it.
Very beautiful country side, and the lower lake.
We visited Powers court gardens instead of the bridge from PS I love you. Amazing garden

Richie, the driver, was extremely knowledgeable about the area and was very entertaining. He could really maneuver the bus on those narrow Irish streets. Fitzgeralds pub was also really good for lunch the Bailey's cheesecake was especially delicious. Definitely would recommend everything.

Our tour guide richie was excellent and very accommodating. If we are lucky enough to return to Ireland I will request him to take my family touring this beautiful country.

A really nice day trip out of Dublin. About the only thing I guess I'd suggest differently is the timing or location for lunch. Stopping at the pub in Avoca so late in the day left most people pretty hungry, and not sure about whether it was a very late lunch or early dinner. Also, the service at ...
