    Sister's Trip

    Had a great experience with Brian, who took us around the mountains and gave us the best experience and showed us breath taking views.

    Response from the operator: It was truly a pleasure to meet you guys. Wicklow is known as the Garden of Ireland for it's beautiful scenery. I'm happy to hear that you enjoyed the private Sheepdog Demonstration at the farm. Brian

    Wicklow Mountains

    Best Tour Guide - ever ! We were met by Brian up at the airport arriving in Dublin where we began our adventure in Ireland. We were 6 seniors- all related, all of Irish ancestry. Brian took us for a tour in his van of the nearby Wicklow Mountains. Brian was able to provide us as much detail and history of the area as we could ask. We stopped for several short hikes and to take in the views. We also had the perfect Sunday Brunch at the Wicklow Heather. The tour was a full day- and Brian was good enough to stop off at a local market for supplies before dropping us off at our ARBNB for our 1st night. I highly recommend Brian as a uniquely knowledgeable and entertaining guide.

    Response from the operator: Thank you so much for your kind words, it was a great day and I hope our paths cross when your in Ireland again.

    Wicklow Mountains, Glendalough & Powerscourt Garden Private Tour: questions travelers ask

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

    How much does Wicklow Mountains, Glendalough & Powerscourt Garden Private Tour cost?

    +

    Prices start at $800 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 & Powerscourt Garden Private Tour take?

    +

    Plan for about 7.5 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 & Powerscourt Garden Private Tour worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 56 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 2 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 & Powerscourt Garden Private 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 & Powerscourt Garden Private Tour suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 7.5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Wicklow Mountains, Glendalough & Powerscourt Garden Private Tour?

    +

    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 7.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Wicklow Mountains, Glendalough & Powerscourt Garden Private 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 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.

    What is included in Wicklow Mountains, Glendalough & Powerscourt Garden Private Tour?

    +

    Included: Private transportation; and Guiding Services. Not included: Lunch. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    Does Wicklow Mountains, Glendalough & Powerscourt Garden Private Tour include hotel pickup?

    +

    Yes, pickup is offered for every traveler from 256 listed pickup locations in and around Dublin. Be ready about 10 minutes before the start time. You can also enter a custom pickup address when booking.

    What languages is Wicklow Mountains, Glendalough & Powerscourt Garden Private Tour offered in?

    +

    It runs in English. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.

    Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for Wicklow Mountains, Glendalough & Powerscourt Garden Private Tour?

    +

    Confirmation is sent by the operator after booking, usually within 48 hours; if it is not confirmed you are not charged. Mobile tickets are accepted, so you can show the voucher on your phone.

    Is Wicklow Mountains, Glendalough & Powerscourt Garden Private Tour wheelchair or stroller accessible?

    +

    The operator notes: Infants and small children can ride in a pram or stroller. If accessibility is critical, contact the operator after booking to confirm arrangements for your date.

    What happens to Wicklow Mountains, Glendalough & Powerscourt Garden Private Tour if the weather is bad?
