Wicklow, Powerscourt, and Glendalough Tour from Dublin

This tour was beautiful. My only note is that the time at Powerscourt was far too long. The gardens were stunning of course, but the walk only takes one hour max, and we were left there for three hours. I would've much rather have extra time to explore the historic and breathtaking Glendalough!

All the landscapes that we have visited where memorable and our guide was really good! The thing I didnt like was the fact that the microbus had small windows and it didnt allow me to watch the landascape as I would like. However, I would reccomend this trip without hesitation!

The tour was exactly as advertised, if not better! We were given enough free time, and our guide was very informative and knowledgable. If you want to take a day off and enjoy the Irish sceneries, this is the trip for you

We can highly recommend this tour and the amazing tour guide who was both knowledgeable and entertaining.

The most memorable part of the trip was seeing the "P.S. I Love You Bridge" and Powerscourt House and gardens. The guide Johnnie was very informative and educational plus he was very witty.

I enjoyed the trip especially the powerscourt estate.. the guide was so excellent and efficient. ....

Richard was an excellent guide and driver and I enjoyed Powerscort and Glensalough alot. I wish we had a guided tour of Glendalough as the sites were not marked.

Overall a great trip - the gardens at powerscourt are beautiful, good to have a walk along glendalough, and Richard our guide was informative, patient and helpful. I’d echo other reviews - Viator sell this as one package, but the same departure also offers horse riding or mountain trekking as alternatives to the gardens. It would be helpful if Viator could also offer those packages to avoid confusion and a sense of missing out on the day. It felt quite soon to be filling a mini bus with passengers at this point in the pandemic. I would be interested in trips that charge more for the peace of mind of lower capacity. We wore masks and kept the windows open, but nonetheless, it’s a lot of people in a small space. My seatbelt on the bus did not retract properly and requires fixing. I also noticed the minibus wasn’t completely clean (windowsills were dirty for example) which made me wonder if it had been sanitised between trips. It would be great if referring to the cleaning protocols was part of the briefing at the start of the day for added reassurance.

The tour was not quite organised as laid down in the itinerary. We were offered an option to upgrade the tour by choosing from amongst Powerscourt House Gardens for 8 euros, a walk in the woods for 7 euros and some had already chosen horseriding through prior booking. Upon asking the guide about Enniskerry village mentioned in the itinerary, I was told it was closed. It is important that the itinerary provides a true description of the expectations as that is what helps tourists to research on different destinations, choose a particular tour and differentiate it from other similar tours. However, the resulting tour was quite well organised by the driver cum guide Richard who had sound knowledge of the background of local sites and surroundings, enough time was allowed to explore each site and the minibus was quite comfortable for the short tour.

The whole day was so much fun which is also due to Johnny, our wonderful guide! The scenery is incredibly beautiful and Johnny had a lot of knowledge and interesting facts about the area.
