Doing what: Kilkenny City and Glendalough Day Trip from Dublin
One of the best tours my wife and I have experienced. The walk to the Upper Lake and the monastic city at Glendalough should be on everyone's list. Kilkenny Castle would have been more interesting if we could have gone to the top of one of the towers for photos. A must-do in Kilkenny is lunch at Kyteler's Inn--great food and interesting history. Spend the 30 minutes on the little sightseeing train when you get off the bus--good overview of Kilkenny that lets you "target" where you want to spend your time.

The tour was great, plenty of time in Killarney(if someone did not visit the caves, I didn't) and plenty of time to Glendalough to walk to the upper lake and also enough time to wander arount the monastic site. Excellent tour guide and driver, i would reccoment this tour, it was great for me

Doing what: Wild Wicklow Tour including Glendalough from Dublin
One of my favorite tours! Glandalough was beautiful! Plenty of time to take a little hike to the lakes and then tour the monastic city. The stop in Avoca may seem like a touristy gimmick, but it's a great shop with a lot of beautiful Irish-made items.

Doing what: Wild Wicklow Tour including Glendalough from Dublin
Wicklow was the most beautiful part of Ireland that I visited. to me it topped the ring of Kerry and the cliffs of Moher. We had the combinaiton of natural beaudty and monastic history. Kevin was entertaining and very professional as our driver. This is not a tirp I would even think about driving on my own -- roads are too narrow and dangerous.

Doing what: Kilkenny City and Glendalough Day Trip from Dublin
Glendalough was magnificent. Monastic ruins in beautiful nature. Don't miss walking to the lake. There was also a stop at some dolmen (pre-historic tomb) which was a bonus and then we were off to Kilkenny. We were dropped at Kilkenny castle, which was very nice and definitely worth exploring, but overall not sufficient time was allowed at Kilkenny, as the town has manny attractions. The tour company should plan for an additional hour or two at Kilkenny with a later return to Dublin, as the itinerary the way it is doesn't really allow for much more than a visit to the castle or a quick lunch.

This tour was nice. It's a short trip and worth the small price to pay. It's a nice excursion for a Sunday, where most attractions in Dublin are closed or close early. The highlight of the tour for us was Glendalough. The monastic ruins are simply amazing. Needed more time at the Avoca Handweavers, but ok.

Beautiful scenery. Probably would have enjoyed Glendalough more if we had seen it earlier in our vacation. By the time we visited Glendalough, we had already seen our share of monastic ruins, high crosses, etc.
