    The Powerscourt Gardens...

    The Powerscourt Gardens are stunning & we enjoyed a leisurely walk while admiring the lush flora. The Monastic Ruins are interesting and the walking path in Wicklow National Park is beautiful with waterfalls & lakes. I highly recommend this tour!

    Dublin-Powerscourt House-Wicklow NP

    Our tour guide Derick was amazing and super relaxed! He was a wealth of knowledge and even though this is our 5th time to Dublin, this tour was completely different. The Powerscourt House/Gardens and Wicklow Mountains were amazing. There is a lot of walking on this tour and some proper hiking, if you want, so be prepared. If you get around pretty well then this is a awesome alternative to your standard Dublin tours! i strongly recommend this tour if you want to get out and about, away from the tourist traps of the city.

    Response from the operator: Thank you very much Alex for the Excellent and detailed review.

    Dublin to Powerscourt, Wicklow and Glendalough Small Group Tours: questions travelers ask

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

    How much does Dublin to Powerscourt, Wicklow and Glendalough Small Group Tours cost?

    +

    Prices start at $74 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 Dublin to Powerscourt, Wicklow and Glendalough Small Group Tours take?

    +

    Plan for about 8 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 Dublin to Powerscourt, Wicklow and Glendalough Small Group Tours worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 79 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.7/5 across 863 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable most popular in Dublin, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Dublin to Powerscourt, Wicklow and Glendalough Small Group Tours?

    +

    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 Dublin to Powerscourt, Wicklow and Glendalough Small Group Tours suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 8-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Dublin to Powerscourt, Wicklow and Glendalough Small Group Tours?

    +

    Around 302 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 8-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Dublin to Powerscourt, Wicklow and Glendalough Small Group Tours 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 Dublin to Powerscourt, Wicklow and Glendalough Small Group Tours?

    +

    Included: Local guide; Driver/guide; and Live commentary on board. Not included: Entrance fees; Hotel pickup and drop-off; and Food and drinks. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    Where is the meeting point for Dublin to Powerscourt, Wicklow and Glendalough Small Group Tours?

    +

    Is Dublin to Powerscourt, Wicklow and Glendalough Small Group Tours wheelchair or stroller accessible?
