Beautiful Day exploring Ireland - Kevin provided us a remarkable tour - we had a private tour so he adjusted the itinerary to suit us with our teen grandkids. Powerscourt is gorgeous - even ran into Rob Lowe there! Bonus! Wickelow mountains are stunning. Kevin gave us so much history and information. He made this adventure so interesting and fun! We had a sunny day that made it even better!

Our Day outside Dublin was Outstanding - We took this tour with Linda for our family of five. We found her very cordial and informative as she drove us around the countryside and shared information about what we were seeing and her country. We found this trek and driving tour delightful as we saw many sights the normal tourist would have missed. We love Ireland, and thank you Hilltop Treks for a beautiful day.

So worth it! - Linda was delightful! She provided wonderful history and backstory of Ireland and the places we visited to. The tour was a great amount of time, and we didn't get back to Dublin super late (pickup at 9:20 and back by 5). Each spot was wonderful, and even in the rain it was such a delight. It's not a terrible amount of walking (walking around the Powerscourt gardens, about a 15 min walk to the lake from Glendalough) and we had a good amount of time at every spot. It was well worth it for the stops through the Wicklow Mountains, truly stunning scenery.

Great day!! - Our guide Gillian was very nice and lovely, was always on time and told us a lot of interesting facts. I‘ve seen the Powerscourt House & Garden (around 115min there), which are beautiful, I had a great time. After that we stopped in Enniskerry for lunch (45min) and headed into the Wicklow Mountains National Park with a great view and some stopps to take pictures. In the afternoon we were in Glendalough and had 90min to explore the area with the monastery and two lakes - I could have spent more time there but it was enough to see the second lake, too. Around 5:15pm we returned to the city. A great experience also for a solo traveller if you don‘t want to drive or rent a car by yourself.

Elite Trip, Class Guide, Great Views - Great trip. Views were great and stops were well spaced throughout the drive. Our guide, Linda, was very knowledgeable. She mentioned growing up in the area, and was able to recommend many trails and hikes that she loves if one were to return for a longer trip out to Wicklow.

Incredible time - This was an incredible tour. Linda was fun and knowledgeable. She stopped as we requested and also wherever she thought we would enjoy a picture or small walk. We had a wonderful dinner and cider at a pub where she made up recommendations.

WICKLOW DAY TRIP - We had a nice day touring Powerscourt gardens, Wicklow and the Glendaloughs. Weather held up well as we had some sunshine and no rain. Conor was a very good guide and explained sites and their histories. The only minor negative from the trip was that with a family of four adults we were expecting transportation in an mpv which we had with similar private day tours on several other excursions over a weeklong holiday in Ireland. In Conor's sedan we sat as a cramped 3 in the rear seat with one alongside Conor in the front passenger seat. Otherwise the trip was very good and is recommended.
