a wonderful way to see Wicklow! - Gillian was an amazing tour guide. Extremely knowledgeable about the area we were touring. The tour was a nice length and didn’t feel like we missed anything! Starting off with horseback riding was amazing. It was so much fun and so so so worth every penny !

Don’t miss this opportunity - I highly recommend this tour. Our guide, Linda, was fantastic! She shared stories, anecdotes and interesting history of the local area. And she played some great Irish music on the drive back to Dublin. The sights in Wicklow National Park and the meandering hike in Glendalough were very enjoyable. If you love to ride horses, this activity is a must. The stable employees were kind and fun, and the one-hour trail ride through the forested hills was so enjoyable. Linda made sure to keep the tour on schedule throughout the day, which was appreciated. If you’re looking for a day of fun and beautiful scenery, sign up for this tour. And hopefully you will be lucky enough to have Linda as your guide. Deborah M

Fun day trip!! - We had a great time on this day trip--even with the rain in the afternoon! We appreciated the van drivers' driving through the area along with the information that he shared. The horses were gentle and steady. Lunch was fantastic and authentic in Enniskerry.

Riding in rural Ireland - You have to break up the tour into two sections. #1. Horseback Riding. I'm a big guy and a horse novice. I've rode 20 times or so but I'm no cowboy. They found a horse (Big Tom) that I could handle and could handle me (5'11 260lbs). Its really nice trail riding through an open area and then into the woods. It was beautiful and a fun ride. Great time- very recommended. #2. Rest of tour. They take you around a national forest and show you a few things. If you just like untouched nature and landscapes, this tour was perfect. Our guide (Linda) was fabulous and fun. She kept us entertained. I wish I had more time to roam around the last top but its really a full day so we couldn't do more. 100% recommend.

Best Tour for Nature Enthusiasts - Kevin was a fantastic tour guide for the Dublin to Wicklow and Glendalough tour. We loved the horseback riding at Killegar Stables and the views in the Wicklow Mountains National Park. The hike around Glendalough was incredible! Excellent nature experience all around and the best tour of our whole trip!

Stunning Irish views from horseback - Everything we hoped for in Ireland! Our tour guide, Kevin, did an amazing job narrating all the sights from Dublin to Glendalough. He made several stops for us to take pictures and enjoy the views. The sights were stunning and the horseback riding was so much fun! I highly recommend this tour.

Overbooked - I had booked for my sister and I but unfortunately when I changed the date, the system did not track that the horse riding was overbooked so we showed up that day and were unable to ride horses. Did get a great day tour with Burney! Thank you
