Review the Dublin to Glendalough, Wicklow and Kilkenny day tour, with practical advice on sights, timing, price, walking and value.

See the Cliffs of Moher from Dublin with Irish guides, Burren scenery, Kinvara, Doolin, and Bunratty Castle on a full-day coach tour.
“We did a day trip with Jerry, and he was amazing. Knowledgeable, funny, and a great entertainer. We felt the $80 or so per person was well worth the value given that you get to see the Irish countryside all day long. The cliffs were beautiful, and so was every little town and castle we got to pass by/through. We would 100% do the same tour again. Or try a different one.”
See Blarney Castle, kiss the Blarney Stone, explore Cork, and visit the Rock of Cashel on a full-day trip from Dublin.
“It was great! The guide really gave us so much information and he was hilarious. Going to the market for lunch was a great choice and he gave easy directions. I was solo and there were a lot of other solo travelers so never short of someone to talk to. The views and sights were perfect as well and I learned a lot. Thank you! Highly recommend”

Explore Dublin’s Phoenix Park by bike for seven hours, with helmets, maps, route tips, and access to deer, forts, castles, and park cafés.

See Killarney, Adare, Inch Beach, and the Ring of Kerry on a long but scenic day trip from Dublin with Paddywagon Tours.
“Best Tour I had so far in Ireland. You will sit very very long in the bus, but it is so worthable as the bus drivers are great, friendly, and present interesting facts. You will see wonderful places on this tour as you normally just know as films. Also the bus was extremely comfortable! Had a great time with Paddywagon on this great tour! RECOMMENDABLE!”
Review of a private Dublin tour with hotel pickup, local guides, major sights, coastal views, and flexible stops for up to four people.

Explore Malahide Castle, Howth Harbour, and Dublin Bay on a guided day trip with coastal views, free time, and an optional cliff walk.

A private 12.5-hour Dublin trip to the Cliffs of Moher, the Burren, Galway, Doonagore Castle area, and Barack Obama Plaza.
“My Brother and I visited Dublin for the first time on 15th August 2023 for two nights. Having never visited before, we did not know where to go for drinks on the evening. We searched through Viator and found this Epic Pub Crawl Experience. It sounded great. We purchased our tickets on 12th August 2023. On 15th August 2023, we looked forward to the event all day. We arrived at the first bar promptly at 8pm (The Wool Shed, The Parnell Centre, 198-200, Parnell St, Centre, Dublin, D01 K5N8, Ireland). We waited outside patiently for 15 minutes. However, Ricardo Machado (the tour operator) never turned up. We tried ringing him…”
Spend 10 hours tasting Irish whiskey at Kilbeggan and Tullamore D.E.W., visiting Sean’s Bar, and exploring rural Ireland from Dublin.
“We thoroughly enjoyed our whiskey tour with John. Our focus originally had been to tour Tullamore Dew since we are from San Francisco and use that whiskey to make our Irish coffees after having many from the famous Buena Vista Cafe; however we enjoyed the juxtaposition of touring a very old distillery (Kilbeggan) with a much more modern (Tullamore Dew). Visiting Sean’s Bar was a treat and we had a very enjoyable lunch on our own in Athlone that John had recommended. The pacing of the tour was excellent and John provided the perfect balance of historical commentary when driving and leaving us time on the individual tours. Would highly…”
