Wicklow Mountains, The Wicklow Way, Glendalough, Enniskerry, Powerscourt, I Love You Bridge, Guinness Lake, Village of Laragh. If time allows it is possible to visit most of all of the above. This is probably one of the most popular tour that begins with a pickup at 09. 30 am at your hotel or cruise ship and takes you south to the famous gardens at Powerscourt voted the third greatest garden in the world by National Geographic Readers. You will then drive through the spectacular Wicklow Mountains via the Sally Gap to a fine gastro pub with great local food for lunch. We will continue on to the beautiful valley of Glendalough with its ancient monastic remains in it's beautiful valley with two lakes and crossing the rolling hills to the Lakes, returning to Dublin or your choice of drop-off location.

A marvelous tour with Gregory who was very engaging and funny. The large roomy van was very comfortable - Gregory used a headset that made communicating much easier. We roamed the Wicklow mountains -simply gorgeous, visited the ancient village of Glendalough which was also beautiful and then had a memorable lunch at a lovely gastropub in Hollywood (the original one :). After that we went a bit off script which was fun visiting Kildare and stopped in at the Newbridge Silverware company. Highly Recommend!
Outstanding. Very fun day with a great guy with tons of knowledge. My wife and I spent the day with him and could not have had a better time.
We had a fantastic day of touring with Gregory! He picked us up at the airport bright and early (before 6am!) and put together a customized itinerary with plenty of variety (sightseeing from the car, opportunities for photo opps, a 3 km walk to a beautiful lake). He also took us to a wonderful restaurant for a hearty Irish breakfast along the route. Very comfortable Mercedes sedan with snacks and drinks provided. It was an altogether excellent first day for us in Ireland!
09. 30 I will meet you at your hotel, cruise ship, or another chosen venue. You will be driven around the Wicklow Mountains and see the essential sights: * The Wicklow Way *The Powerscourt Waterfalls * Wicklow Mountains *Glendalough Village and Saint Kevin's Monastery. The Upper lake and Lower Lake * Lough Tag * Sally Gap * Enniskerry Village * Powerscourt House & Gardens * I Love You Bridge * Guinness Lake.
