    Lovely Day outside of Dublin

    Amazing day! Linda was everything you are looking for in a tour guide. The views on the walk/hike were amazing, lunch in Enniskerry was lovely, the drive through the Wicklow mountains picturesque and Glendalough intriguing. Highly recommend. Will definitely be checking out other Hilltoptreks tours on our next visit to Ireland.

    Response from the operator: Thank you very much for the excellent review.

    Super informative. Relaxed but detailed. Love the particular anecdotes and small touches in commentary.

    Superb tour -we could not have accessed those sweeping weathered vistas and the breathtaking Viking fjord views without Rory. The loo around Wicklow Natl park is stunning. But mostly Rory’s detailed and anecdotal story/telling is the magic that should inspire anyone to take this tour. Ask for Rory. I loved it.

    Response from the operator: Thank you very much Laura for the wonderful review.

    A refreshing day in Ireland

    The Wicklow Guided walking tour with tour guide Linda and her pup Bowie, quiet lunch in Enniskerry and visit to Glendalough was a refreshing and an exceptional experience. We enjoyed the pace of the walking tour and the information provided by Linda the tour guide/driver. As a local resident she was able to provide valuable insight into the Wicklow area which added so much to our Ireland experience. The day tour was a great balance between guided tour and time on our own to explore at our own pace. We highly recommend Hilltop Treks for your next adventure.

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

    Great small-group tour

    The tour today with Linda and her dog Bowie was great! Linda provided interesting historical information throughout the day, starting before we’d even left Dublin. The walk offered great views to Dublin and Dublin bay, and was on a quiet trail without lots of crowds (other than our group of 6 :-)). I very much appreciated being part of a small group tour and would absolutely book with Hilltop Treks again.

    Response from the operator: Thank you for the excellent review and its always great to get a high recommendation.

    Dublin to Wicklow, Glendalough Small Group Tour with Guided Walk: questions travelers ask

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

    How much does Dublin to Wicklow, Glendalough Small Group Tour with Guided Walk cost?

    +

    Prices start at $75 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 Wicklow, Glendalough Small Group Tour with Guided Walk 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 Wicklow, Glendalough Small Group Tour with Guided Walk worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 69 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.5/5 across 297 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 Dublin to Wicklow, Glendalough Small Group Tour with Guided Walk?

    +

    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 Wicklow, Glendalough Small Group Tour with Guided Walk 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 Wicklow, Glendalough Small Group Tour with Guided Walk?

    +

    Around 104 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 Wicklow, Glendalough Small Group Tour with Guided Walk 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 Cliffs of Moher, including Wild Atlantic Way and Galway, Dublin Highlights and Hidden Gems Guided Walking Tour, The Little Museum of Dublin Famous Guided Tour. 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.
