Crack of fun tour! Don’t miss this. - David our guide was fabulous, informative and welcoming. He shared so much history and culture of Ireland and the Glendolough Mountains and monastic site. The tour was terrific, allowed time for our hike to the lakes and plenty of pictures. I highly recommend David and this tour.

Amazing experience - We missed our bus but one of the people from the paddywagon walked us to the next stop while the bus waited which was really nice of them. The tour guide was really friendly and knowledgeable. The views were amazing and we had plenty of time to walk around and take in the landscape
