Nice way to spend the day - Richard was a delight. Really enjoyed the places we stopped. The walk is manageable even if you don’t do a lot of trekking. Sadly, it was foggy for most of the day so we didn’t see a lot of the terrain in the distance. Once the sun came out, it was great. Monastery was interesting.

Great small-group day trip from Dublin! - Really lovely day out with a small group. Much better experience than the large bus tours offered to similar stops. Opted for the walk through nature, stunning! Only complaint would be too long in Enniskerry for lunch- could've used another hour in Glendalough, that part felt very rush, which was a shame. Would def book with this company again!

Great guides: Barnie & Linda - Great tour, amazing nature. Although stop at Poppies is a bit of a tourist trap. The guides were really the best.
