    Love the Wicklow area and Ireland.

    This was a wonderful experience! It rained the whole day, but any day horse back is a good day. My big Irish Draft (Crackers) was a sweet mount. I had a good time. I hope she felt the same. The staff were all sweet girls and helpful. Of course they want to test your riding skills! LOL. I don't let anyone ride my horse, so I get get. Richard our bus driver was very informative, charming and funny. I learned a lot about the history of Guinness! I would suggest this adventure to all. Perhaps options for longer riding might be my only suggestion.

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

    Amazing full day tour

    Have not been on a horse in at least 30 years and was so happy to have this experience. Joe was a great guide. The rest of the day trip was amazing. Linda was our guide and had a plethora of information on every stop and also along the way. It was a lovely way to explore those parts of rural Ireland.

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

    A great way to explore the Irish country side!

    We had a great day! The pickup was smooth and St. Kevin was an excellent tour guide. He makes the driving part entertaining and is extremely helpful. The horse riding was great and beginner friendly. My parents are in their late 60s and had no problem. They provide boots and helmets. The lunch spot was lovely and the exploration of Wicklow national park offered great views and scenery. Highly recommend!

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

    Incredible experience....

    Incredible experience. Great tour guide and great trail guide. Would recommend to anyone. The tour is essentially the same except for the two-hour block where you can choose to go horseriding, to Powercourt Gardens, or on the guided walk.

    Response from the operator: Thank you very much Ryan for the Excellent and high recommendation.

    Dublin to Wicklow, Glendalough Small Group Tour with Horse Riding: 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 Horse Riding cost?

    +

    Prices start at $143 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 Horse Riding 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 Horse Riding worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 78 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.7/5 across 585 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 Horse Riding?

    +

    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 Horse Riding 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 Horse Riding?

    +

    Around 205 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 Horse Riding 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.
