    Excellent Tour!

    Jason is excellent! Can’t say enough about what a wonderful tour guide he was. He was extremely knowledgeable and kept us very entertained. His tour van was immaculate, and the entire tour was very enjoyable. Glendalough and Powerscourt is a must see! Highly recommend!

    Response from the operator: Hello Renu, thank you so much for leaving a review. I am delighted that you enjoyed the day tour to Glendalough Monastic Site and The Powerscourt Gardens. They are two of my favourite places to visit in Co.Wicklow. Many thanks, Jason.

    Memories, knowledge, friendship

    Jason was our guide and he was excellent. This was a private tour, which I highly recommend when traveling a distance from the city! Jason was knowledgeable, funny, and experienced as a driver as he explained history, peoples, and events. Jason was a wealth of facts and interesting stories. We all felt that we came from the day w/great memories, learning, and made a friend. We highly recommend Jason as your safe driver!

    Response from the operator: Hello Betty, Thanks so much for leaving a review. It was a pleasure providing you with the tour in Glendalough & Powerscourt Gardens. Many thanks Jason.

    Private Tour of Glendalough and Powerscourt Gardens, (1-7 ppl): questions travelers ask

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

    How much does Private Tour of Glendalough and Powerscourt Gardens, (1-7 ppl) cost?

    +

    Prices start at $825 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 Private Tour of Glendalough and Powerscourt Gardens, (1-7 ppl) 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 Private Tour of Glendalough and Powerscourt Gardens, (1-7 ppl) worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 58 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 4 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 Private Tour of Glendalough and Powerscourt Gardens, (1-7 ppl)?

    +

    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 Private Tour of Glendalough and Powerscourt Gardens, (1-7 ppl) 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 Private Tour of Glendalough and Powerscourt Gardens, (1-7 ppl)?

    +

    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 8-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Private Tour of Glendalough and Powerscourt Gardens, (1-7 ppl) 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.
