Full description

Admire the tower of Glendalough, the wild beauty of the Wicklow Mountains, and the medieval city of Kilkenny on a full-day guided tour from Dublin.

Depart from Dublin and make your way directly to Kilkenny, a town that was once the medieval capital of Ireland. Enjoy walking down the cobbled streets and visit the Black Abbey and the Cathedral of Saint Canice. After that, travel through the Wicklow Mountains to your next stop.

Visit the monastic site of Glendalough. Hollywood Blockbusters like ‘P.S. I Love You’ and ‘Braveheart’ have been filmed here. Explore the area renowned for its ruins, magnificent lakes, and waterfalls. Finally, head over to a sheepdog farm and watch a sheepdog herd with his master. Look at the Border Collies using a tactic called “The Eye” on sheep. Witness a shepherd and his dog at work and watch how they herd a flock of sheep.

I loved roger’s tour and can’t fault Igor’s driving. I learnt a lot and saw some stunning places. The guy who did the sheepdog demonstration was also great, he gave loads of info on the training. Only downside being not enough toilet stops. There is a toilet on the coach but I find it hard to go on moving transport.

In general, it was a nice tour and the guide was entertaining, funny and had lots of information. The transport was good (in my opinion the driver was a bit too fast, but in my friend’s opinion it was fine). We enjoyed Kilkenny and the sheepdog show. The first stop, Glendalough, was a bit too long to stay (the hike was short) whereas the part of Wicklow mountains was too short. We thought there would be a longer walk through this beautiful nature (in the tour it’s just a bus stop of 5 min) as it was advertised with “place of PS I love you”. But this was not mentioned. All in all, it was still worth the money!

It was a great experience. Colum the guide is amazing. He is lovely and funny and his knowledge about Ireland and beyond that is fascinating. You have 2h in Kilkenny and 2h at glendalough, which is not a lot but this way you get to see a lot of the area. She sheep show is a nice extra. We were lucky with the weather, so it was a perfect day. Would definitely recommend it.
