Your first stop will be a lovely spot in the mountains, where you can enjoy outdoor activities such as a 1.5-hour guided hill walk, a horse-riding adventure, or a wonderful cycle. If you want a less energetic experience, visit Powerscourt Gardens and stroll through the delightful Japanese garden.

Matt was a great guide, informative and entertaining. He provided a lot of options and kind of oet us do our own thing which i personally prefer. Has a good sense of humor of some of the typical tourist type things but went out of his way to cover all bases. All in all a nice day in the beautiful countryside

Beautiful mountains

The best thing of the tour has been our guide, he has been the best! So nice and funny and he knew a lot. I booked the tour with the guided walk, which I think isn't really worth the money... it's really nothing special – just a walk through the woods. I expected something else. Also it says 2 hours when you book but it was only about an hour. I did like the rest of the tour though. The view over the wicklow mountains when you're sitting on the bus is soooo nice! I loved it. Also the walk to the lakes in Glendalough has been nice.

Wonderful tour! The tour guide was great and he even sung a couple of typical Irish songs to entertain us ☺️. The Powerscourt gardens weren’t that spectacular this time of the year and I was a bit disappointed that I couldn’t see the Powerscourt Waterfall. You also spend two hours in these gardens en only 50 minutes at Glendalough, it’s a bit disappointing that they didn’t do it the other way around. Glendalough is amazing and has to get a lot more attention then just the 50 minutes given. But all in all the tour was great: amazing guide, wonderful scenery, beautiful places and amazing views!
