What you'll see and do
Guinness Lake
A lake that looks like a pint of Guinness? Welcome to Lough Tay, a superb Irish lake in Ireland’s Wicklow Mountains National Park (Co. Wicklow). The lake is not only magnificent, it literally looks like a pint! Boasting a white sandy beach (which is surprising, by the way), Lough Tay has all the attributes of a stout glass: from the white foam to its dark color! It’s a really nice spot, ideal for admiring on a short hike or road trip!

Glendalough Monastic Settlement
Glendalough is home to one of the most important monastic sites in Ireland. This early Christian monastic settlement was founded by St. Kevin in the 6th century and from this developed the “Monastic City”. Most of the buildings that survive today date from the 10th through 12th centuries. Despite attacks by Vikings over the years, Glendalough thrived as one of Ireland’s great ecclesiastical foundations and schools of learning until the Normans destroyed the monastery in 1214 A.D. and the dioceses of Glendalough and Dublin were united. Close to the monastic city is the interactive centre. The centre features an audio visual and has a model of the monastic site on display. You will be welcomed by a friendly and knowledgeable staff where all your questions will be answered. Glendalough is one of the top attraction on Ireland’s Ancient East

Off the charts amazing experience ... John was our driver, guide, wise man. He told us about every neighborhood we went through, the history and interesting facts, talked about life in Ireland in general, was interested in us and we felt comfortable with him the whole time. I hope he does other tours -- if he does, I will sign up on my next trip. The car was comfortable and clean -- it was a great day. Joyce R.
Response from the operator: Thanks Joyce You and your friends were lovely and a pleasure to be with on the day So happy you had a great time, hope to see you again Thanks John

Terrific Upscale Experience
A terrific day! Stephen was our driver and he was fantastic. He worked with us to tailor the trip to what we wanted. He also made some recommendations for off the beaten path spots that were perfect and his insight was entertaining and informative. The sights were gorgeous and the restaurant he recommended was fabulous. The combination of sights, conversation, the car and Stephen’s attention to every detail made this a truly upscale and outstanding day.
Response from the operator: Thanks for the great review Michael You’re very good, we aim to please here at VIP Tours and yes Stephen is great Thanks for booking with us and hopefully see you again

Why this scores 62
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Wicklow and Glendalough Private Chauffeured Sightseeing Tour: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Dublin.
How much does Wicklow and Glendalough Private Chauffeured Sightseeing Tour cost?
+
Prices start at $1175 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 Wicklow and Glendalough Private Chauffeured Sightseeing 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 Wicklow and Glendalough Private Chauffeured Sightseeing Tour worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 62 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 20 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 Wicklow and Glendalough Private Chauffeured Sightseeing 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 Wicklow and Glendalough Private Chauffeured Sightseeing 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 Wicklow and Glendalough Private Chauffeured Sightseeing Tour?
+
Around 7 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 Wicklow and Glendalough Private Chauffeured Sightseeing 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.
