Wonderful excursion - one of our all time favorite’s! - Wonderful private tour of exactly what we wanted to see throughout the Wicklow mountains and powerscot gardens (rated third best garden in the world by National Geographic and in my opinion, it should be rated number one ) We also saw the largest waterfall in all of Ireland , the perfect stop to stop for a Beautiful and memorable picnic with the best view ever! John, our driver was excellent, very knowledgeable, personable, and made the trip, fun and educational. We highly recommend this specific tour ,we loved it and got some of our best pictures and best memories from this specific private tour with our amazing guide John .

The highlight of a 18-day European holiday! - John is spectacularly knowledgeable, flexible, and FUNNY! My son and I had the best day of our 18-day holiday enjoying the sites and stories of County Wicklow. I had filled John in on my son's forestry interests, and he even went out of his way to point out different flora deferring to the kid's knowledge (while I'm sure John didn't need to "ask" if he was right ;). I must have changed the plan 100 times, and John just went with the flow. I learned so much about the area, and Ireland in general. We were able to visit so many places total inaccessible by coach, and John expertly navigated through the afternoon making sure we saw EVERYTHING we wanted to see ...and a few surprises too. Can't wait to come back and do it again!

Great tour and guide. Well worth it! - John was very good to us. Pickup at hotel was right on time, and he was very informative. The stops were really picturesque and made for great memories. Private tour helped with the pace and let us enjoy each stop without rushing.
