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++++

Hey!!! I absolutely loved my day tour to Wicklow and Glendalough. A spectacular day trip! I decided to come to Dublin over my fall break from my study abroad school in Florence. I love Dublin, but I wanted to get out to the country side and see Ireland's natural beauty. So I decided to take the Wicklow Mountains National Park and Glendalough Tour and I haven't been able to stop talking about it! The fact that the group is in a smaller bus made the experience so much better because we were able to go places that big buses couldnt have gone. The landscape I saw was exactly what I was looking for, if not more. On top of that, my tour guide was extremely interesting and kind. He definitely made the trip so much better than it already was with the history and side stories of where we were visiting! I would recommend this trip to anyone who is looking for a relaxing day through the countryside, and ready to see Ireland at its best.

I was trying to decide what tour to book the night before. I couldn't decide between 3 different Wicklow tours including the one my hostel suggested. I am really glad I chose this one! I literally booked the tour the hour before departure and luckily there was room for my sister and me. The bus was extremely comfortable. My tour guide was Damien and he was hilarious. He told us a lot of helpful tips, told us some interesting facts about Wicklow, and information on what tourists should do in Dublin (eat, free rides, etc). Unfortunately, I was leaving the next day so I couldn't exactly do everything he suggested but I wished I had known earlier. Moving on, the Wicklow tour was absolutely beautiful! Despite the heavy winds and rain, I still enjoyed myself. My sister and I were the only ones on our tour who hiked to the Upper Lake and it was definitely worth it. I highly suggest hiking to see that.
