Itinerary
This is a typical itinerary for this product
Stop At: Paddywagon Tours, Dublin Ireland
We begin with an introduction to Dublin City after which we leave the city behind and head south towards the Wicklow Mountains. Meet your fellow travelers for a great trip to the "Garden of Ireland."
Stop At: Wicklow Mountains National Park, Glendalough Village Ireland
As we leave the city we pass by Sugar Loaf mountain and descend through Ireland's highest village Roundwood on your way to magnificent Glendalough.
Here we make a short stop at one of the most photographed locations in Wicklow, Lough Tay, which is also commonly called The Guinness Lake.
Duration: 20 minutes
Stop At: Glendalough Monastic Settlement, Ireland
Renowned for its magnificent scenery and rich and varied heritage in terms of history and archaeology, Glendalough is famed for the Braveheart wedding scenes and it really is one of the most beautiful visitor sites in all of Ireland. You will have 1.5 hours to explore the deep valley with its ruined Monastic City of Celtic crosses, round towers and much more. Known as the valley of 2 lakes, we enjoy a leisurely stroll along the bank of the river, through the woods where we are greeted by babbling brooks, crystal cascades and the lakes of Glendalough. A real picture perfect moment.
1.5 hours of free time to explore this site.
Duration: 2 hours
Stop At: Wicklow Mountains National Park, Glendalough Village Ireland
If you are a fan of the Hollywood Blockbusters 'PS I Love You' and 'Braveheart' then join us on this tour! You will understand why Mel Gibson chose the Wicklow mountains to be the Highlands of Scotland and Glendalough to be the spot for the wedding scene. And then of course there are all the romantic scenes from 'PS I Love You', this is where Hilary Swank met Gerard Butler for the first time...you never know who you can meet!
Stop At: Paddywagon Tours, Dublin Ireland
We return to Dublin, delighted with our wonderful half day tour and with great photos and memories to last a lifetime.

Great large bus trip into the Glendalough area that included a 2 hour stop in Wicklow National Park, an interesting early cemetery and abandoned church. Worth the trip if you also like a bit of hiking, too.
I chose this your because I wanted to see Ireland, but not take all day to do so. Our tour guide was very informative. Tour was on a double decker bus. You get to see beautiful Irish scenery. Glendalough was interesting.
The tour is run by Paddywagon and you are picked up at the Paddy´s Palace hostal just behind the Custom House. You start early (8 am for the morning tour - but there is also an afternoon tour) and head out of Dublin to County Wicklow. The bus is comfortable and the driver gives you details of the visit as you go along. First you go to the Wicklow Mountains and see the beautiful Lough Tay from the surrounding peaks. You then go on to the highlight that is Glendalough - a truly magical place. We had an hour and three quarters at liberty here which was sufficient to walk around the amazing monastic site with the emblematic round tower and then to trek out to the lower and upper lakes. You can choose the paved road or a boardwalk - we used the boardwalk that takes you through fields and is truly beautiful. At the upper lake you can view sites associated with St Kevin. An excellent way to spend a morning!
