    The trip was fantastic...

    The trip was fantastic from start to finish! John was amazing and truly made the experience exceptional. He was a knowledgeable and engaging tour guide, providing interesting commentary throughout the trip, offering great recommendations, and always ensuring we were comfortable and having a great time. His attention to detail and dedication to making sure we had the best possible experience did not go unnoticed. Everything was well organized, enjoyable, and stress-free thanks to him. I would 100% do this trip again and highly recommend it to anyone considering it. Thanks, John, for such a memorable experience!

    Response from the operator: Thank you for the great review and thank you for being such great guests. Go raibh míle maith agaibh.

    Great Daytrip Out of Dublon

    Owen is very friendly, professional, and knowledgable. If you want to get out of Dublin for a little and get insights and storytelling from a local expert this is a great way. Also super nice to let someone else take the wheel so you can relax on your vacation and enjoy the scenery.

    Day Trip to Glendalough and Wicklow Mountains: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Dublin.

    How much does Day Trip to Glendalough and Wicklow Mountains cost?

    +

    Prices start at $944 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Dublin usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does Day Trip to Glendalough and Wicklow Mountains take?

    +

    Plan for about 6 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Dublin is not rushed.

    Is Day Trip to Glendalough and Wicklow Mountains worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 52 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 2 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Dublin, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Day Trip to Glendalough and Wicklow Mountains?

    +

    Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

    Is Day Trip to Glendalough and Wicklow Mountains suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 6-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Day Trip to Glendalough and Wicklow Mountains?

    +

    Around 1 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Dublin can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

    What should I bring or wear?

    +

    Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Dublin and add a light layer if any part of the 6-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Day Trip to Glendalough and Wicklow Mountains start and how do I get there?

    +

    The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Dublin within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

    What are the best things to do in Dublin?

    +

    On Outty we rank every Dublin experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Dublin to Belfast Titanic Dunluce Castle Giants Causeway Tour, Dublin to Belfast Black Cab: Dunluce Castle and Giant's Causeway, Dublin to Cliffs of Moher, including Wild Atlantic Way and Galway. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

    When is the best time to visit Dublin?

    +

    Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

    How many days do you need in Dublin?

    +

    Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

    Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

    +

    Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.

    What is included in Day Trip to Glendalough and Wicklow Mountains?

    +

    Included: Private transportation; Bottled water; and Parking fees. Not included: Gratuities; and Lunch. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    Does Day Trip to Glendalough and Wicklow Mountains include hotel pickup?

    +

    Yes, pickup is offered for every traveler from 70 listed pickup locations in and around Dublin. Be ready about 15 minutes before the start time. You can also enter a custom pickup address when booking.

    What languages is Day Trip to Glendalough and Wicklow Mountains offered in?

    +

    It runs in English. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.

    Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for Day Trip to Glendalough and Wicklow Mountains?

    +

    Is Day Trip to Glendalough and Wicklow Mountains wheelchair or stroller accessible?
