This is a day tour intended for those with limited time in Dublin and who want to familiarise themselves with the principal sites in the city center. You will also have the chance to travel south out of the city into the spectacularly scenic Wicklow Mountain National Park. Early Christian Glendalough/Powerscourt House and Gardens rated number 3 in the world by National Geographic. Alternatively, we can travel north to the Boyne Valley (5, 500 yr old Newgrange Passage Tombs), Monasterboice and much much more. As a boy more than 50 years ago my father often brought me to County Wicklow (the Garden County) which is just south of Dublin. We would hike and cycle across many of the tracks and trails of this beautiful county. It is packed with mountains, rivers and lakes.
Sean was amazing! From pick up to drop off, Sean gave us a wonderful tour of Dublin and surrounding areas. He was clearly very knowledgeable about Irish history and shared lots of great information. He was always conscious of our needs. He is a tru gentleman and made us want to return to Ireland for a longer visit. Thank you Sean!
Sean, was very accommodating for our customized tour. He was quite knowledgable about the area. Overall it was a very pleasant way to see the sites in and around Dublin.
We were three days in Dublin before a cruise and spent the first and third with Sean Patrick. There were four of us on this the third day. We spent most of the day out of the city enjoying the gorgeous scenery and even had a private demonstration with a farmer and his sheepdogs. We spent a lovely day in the country and Sean P got us back to the cruise port at the time we asked to be dropped off. You won't go wrong touring with Sean.
Sean Patrick was wonderful! For our first time using tours by locals, it exceeded all our expectations . He was very informative , welcoming, and willing to answer all our questions. We got an early start beating all the busy crowds, and saw the beautiful countryside of Dublin. There is no question, if we return to Ireland, we will request Sean Patrick to be our tour guide again!
We had a delightful tour with Sean who is knowledgeable about all things Irish & much more. We toured Dublin as well as the surrounding countryside including the beautiful Powerscourt Estate with its magnificant gardens. It was wonderful day all around.
Sean Patrick is a consumate professional. He possesses vast knowledge about Irish history and the relationship(s) of Irish people past and present to the people of Europe and the United States. We enjoyed our day with Sean immensely and sincerely wished we had more time to spend with him.
