Glendalough and Dublin Highlights Shore Excursion from Dublin

A wonderful full day tour which captures the highlights of Dublin and the picturesque Glendalough, known as the City of Seven Churches. The tour starts with a drive to Glendalough, a glacial valley in Wicklow, followed by a look at Dublin's highlights, including Powerscourt Gardens and Temple Bar.
In Glendalough, you'll have around 1.5-2 hours leisure time and the opportunity to look around the visitor centre, the round tower of St Kevin and perhaps to take a short walk around the lakes. In the afternoon, we'll continue to Dublin for a guided, panoramic city tour, which will include the following sites:
Georgian Square
St. Patrick's Cathedral
Phoenix Park (where Pope John Paul II celebrated mass with around 1.2 million people)
The residences of the President of Ireland and the American Ambassador to Ireland
O'Connell Street
The GPO, focus of the Easter Rising in 1916
Trinity College
After the tour, you'll be taken back to the Dublin cruise port in plenty of time for your cruise ship's departure.
