Full description

This eight-hour sightseeing tour runs by smaller coach from several Dublin pickup points into the Wicklow Mountains. The guide introduces Glendalough's monastic site, leaving free time to explore independently, and the route includes viewpoints over Lough Tay, nicknamed the Guinness Lake, plus a whiskey sample.

Listed entrance fees are covered. It is a scenic outing rather than a hiking trip, and reviewers praise the guides' knowledge of Irish history, though photo stops at some viewpoints are short.
