About this experience
Be driven in comfort, style and at your own pace. Take the hassle out of trying to find your way around and discover Ireland’s hidden gems! We love what we do and we will ensure that you spend the most memorable time while in Ireland. From Ken and Darcy Washington, USA - Driver Guide : Ben Your stories and history lessons were timely and interesting, your intuition to allow Darcy and I to spend certain times with just the two of us and also your intuitive timing on when to involve yourself, coupled with your sense of humour, made the trip more like spending a day with a friend vs. a driver guided tour. It is a talent to balance professionalism, comfort, flexibility and gentle guidance to ensure we got to see all we wanted to see (and change in the middle of the trip to make it even better) - all of this for a fair price. We are grateful and fortunate to meet you and wish you continued success. Best of luck.

Country visit with Dublin City Tour
Unfortunately our tour didn’t start off great. No one was there to collect us, so I called the company who said he was already there, once I went and asked all the guides waiting, I found Timothy but he’d been given the wrong name. He was very informative and we had a great day but the fact that his hearing aids (Which I also wear) were broken and he wasn’t going to replace them, made it very difficult, as he couldn’t hear any of our questions.
Response from the operator: Dear Lesley, Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We are very sorry to hear that your tour did not begin as smoothly as it should have, and we sincerely apologise for the initial confusion with the name on the booking. We fully understand how frustrating that must have been. While we are glad to know that you enjoyed the day with Timothy and found him informative, we are also very sorry that communication was difficult due to his hearing aids not functioning properly. This is not the standard of service we aim to provide, and we will be addressing this internally to ensure it does not happen again. Your comments are very valuable to us, and we appreciate you bringing these issues to our attention. We hope we will have the opportunity to welcome you again in the future and provide you with a much smoother experience from start to finish. Dublin Chauffeur Services Team

Why this scores 61
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Wicklow Mountains & Glendalough Luxury Private Day Tour: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Dublin.
How much does Wicklow Mountains & Glendalough Luxury Private Day Tour cost?
+
Prices start at $1415 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 Mountains & Glendalough Luxury Private Day Tour take?
+
Plan for about 7 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 Mountains & Glendalough Luxury Private Day Tour worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 61 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 24 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 Mountains & Glendalough Luxury Private 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 Wicklow Mountains & Glendalough Luxury Private Day Tour suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 7-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Wicklow Mountains & Glendalough Luxury Private Day Tour?
+
Around 8 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 7-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Wicklow Mountains & Glendalough Luxury Private 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.
