Could be great!
Brian was a very wonderful and informative guide and brought us to many great locations throughout the day including a wonderful lunch spot, great coastal and remote areas! Unfortunately the van was the problem. Diesel vapors were flowing through the air conditioning and it was EXTREMELY bumpy (new shocks needed) especially for those in the very back which made for a very uncomfortable ride. Other than the van I would recommend a tour with Brian.
Response from the operator: Thanks for your feedback. The roads in wicklow make for quite a bumpy ride in any vehicle if you want to see the best scenery. We will look into the shocks, and any vapors you mentioned. All the best, Brian

Wonderful Wicklow Day Tour
My wife and I booked a private day tour with a car and driver that took us from our hotel in Dublin to Glendalough and the Wicklow Mountains and back. Brian, our driver, was perfect, exhibiting the wit, wisdom and gentle humor of the Irish. He knew the countryside intimately and was able to take us to some fabulous locations with breathtaking scenery and interesting history. We were also able to customize the itinerary to meet our specific interests and had as much or as little free time at any of the stops as we desired. All in all, we had a wonderful experience in the Irish countryside. I would highly recommend a private car and driver for anyone who does not want to navigate the small country lanes or confusing city streets on their own (all the while driving on, what is for us, the wrong side of the road). It is also a prefect way to set your own agenda and avoid the rush and the crowds of a scheduled bus tour.
Response from the operator: Thanks so much for taking the time to write us a wonderful review. We couldn't say it better ourselves. Private tours are all about customization, avoiding the crowds, touring to your schedule and taking the stress out of our challenging country roads. We are delighted you had a memorable experience and hope to welcome you back again sometime.

A customized private tour
We highly recommend Brian as a private tour guide. He was knowledgeable, personable, and custom designed the tour to meet our sightseeing requests. We would not hesitate to tour with him again.

Wonderful day exploring the Wicklow Mountains area
Our group of 5 (all seniors) had a wonderful day with Brian during our one day cruise stop in Dublin. Brian began the tour with a drive down the south coast to see the beautiful views and to show us homes of the "rich and famous" in the area. Then we headed to the Wicklow Mountains for an outstanding day with several stops along the way. Brian shared a lot of history about the areas we toured. I would definitely book with him again the next time we're in the Dublin area.
Response from the operator: Thanks Pauline it was a pleasure to meet you seasoned travellers. This was an eventful day ! Thanks and hope to see you back in Ireland again. Brian

Memories that will last a lifetime!
What a fun day trip with such a lovely guide! Brian took us on a private day trip to the Wicklow Mountains. He is an expert navigator - showing us the sites and updating us on the Irish history. He also had a professional camera and took many family photos - memories we’ll cherish forever! We ended the day listening to live Irish music. We hope to book him on our next trip!
Response from the operator: Thanks so much this was a great start to the season with a musical ending :). It was lovely to meet your family and I hope you come back to explore more of Ireland

Why this scores 56
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Private Wicklow Mountains Day Tour: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Dublin.
How much does Private Wicklow Mountains Day Tour cost?
+
Prices start at $815 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 Wicklow Mountains Day Tour 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 Private Wicklow Mountains Day Tour worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 56 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.7/5 across 7 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 Wicklow Mountains Day Tour?
+
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 Wicklow Mountains Day Tour 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 Private Wicklow Mountains Day Tour?
+
Around 2 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 Private Wicklow Mountains Day Tour 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.
