We enjoyed the tour, but we were the last group on so we had to take the few seats that were left. The windows in the rear were misted over making it difficult to see the passing scenery, but otherwise, we had a great time. Loved the tour, weather was typical Irish gale force winds and rain, we loved it! The guide/driver was the best.

The tour bus driver was friendly and informative. He made the trip worthwhile. He gave tips of places to shop within financial costs. The places visited were beautiful. It was everything we thought it would be like and more. Would recommend this tour to anyone going to Dublin.

Avoca Handweavers, was just a visit to the shop, we didn't get to see anyone weaving. The authentic Irish pub was expensive and the food was only average. The guided tour of Glendalough was a 5 minute talk at the entrance about the places we needed to see there and an admonishment to be back at the coach in an hour and a half. In the driver's defense, it was raining.

Bus was full sized, not the small minibus that I was expecting. Also, our bus was new and had no identification. We missed it at our hotel pickup site and had to take a taxi to another hotel for pickup.

After the tour, we spoke to local people who were amazed that the guide had not pointed out the meeting of the rivers at Avoca and that we hadn't visited the Heritage Centre at Glendalough. At Glendalough, we had to go on a walk in the rain, which took 20 minutes. We would have much preferred the Heritage Centre. The guide told us about Powerscourt, but we did not see it. We feel that we missed out on some of the sights provided on other tours for the same cost.
Reviewed by: Mrs F, United Kingdom, October 2007 Note from Viator: The local person that you spoke to was confused with Avoca, Kilmacanogue where we stop for morning coffee and Avoca Mill, Avoca Village (15 miles between both). Going to the latter you pass by the Meetings of the water / meetings of the rivers at Avoca but we do not go near this area so that is why the driver did not mention it. We personally guide our guests around Glendalough rather than visit the Heritage/Visitor Centre at Glendalough mainly because we like to look after the group personally rather than them joining a tour with other travellers not on our coach. Also not all guests are willing to pay the admission charge at the Visitor centre and prefer the time to explore the valley and walk to the beautiful Upper Lake. We do not go to Powerscourt House and Gardens as we believe there is not enough time in the day to do it justice.
