Just returned from Ireland and this was by far our favorite tour. It was a full day but it passed in a flash -- we saw so much and it was paced perfectly. We met the driver Martin at 9 -- my dad was astonished we were in a Mercedes Mini Bus!! (very nice!) But Martin was nicer - he was truly the perfect tour guide: knowledgeable, friendly, accommodating and didn't sound like he was delivering a canned speech. Our first stop was in a little port at Dalkey - we stopped for a coffee break and had ample time to browse about and take photos. Then on the road to Wicklow! As we wound our way thru the mountains we made several stops: a waterfall, guiness lake, a whiskey tasting. And each was more amazing than the last! Martin even made a special stop when I requested to take pictures of a big flock of penned sheep we passed. The route we took was so scenic, and we passed very, very few cars. It did not feel at all like a tour... it was more like we were out exploring, except someone else was driving! We stopped for lunch and Martin managed to time things perfectly ... when we arrived we were the first group in the pub, so this gave us extra time to walk about . When we arrived at Glendalough Monastery, Martin offered to give us a brief guided walk, which was very informative. We then had nearly 2 hours to explore on our own. It was a magical, mystical, amazing day. All in all, I have to say this was my favorite day in Ireland... I even liked it better than the Cliffs!! I would recommend this tour group to anyone 100% -- Day Tours Unplugged delivered on every count. A++++
