Best tour guide ever!
We are a group of girls from Manchester, England, who were on a weekend trip to Dublin. We decided to book on to the Wicklow tour and picked Darby O’Gill because the times suited us. But we were so glad we did as our tour guide Joe was an absolute legend! He was very accommodating, friendly, and helpful; he was the highlight of our tour. We would highly recommend!

Worth the trip
Very lovely excursion and Jo the driver really loved what he did. Beautiful place and an amazing tour in general!

Wes was great
Really liked how Wes took the time to learn our names. Wes also seem very well educated on everything throughout the day. Wes should keep it up and keep going.

Grand experience
Joe was a gifted driver on some challenging roads and an entertaining guide as we toured the beautiful Wicklow mountains. He even volunteered to take pictures of me at some of the sites as I was traveling solo and struggling with selfies. Thank you for a well-organized and lovely tour.

Really bad guide and customers attention!
On 15/06 I went to the Wicklow tour but there were so many things that I can't ignore. First of all, the bus got out of the road on our first stop,so we had to wait almost one hour and a half to another bus, so that made us being late for the rest of the tour (we couldn't see Avoca). Second, I don't think is a good idea to have the same person for driving and for being the guide (It's really risky for all, the driver just must have to take care on the road not in talking to us about the place). Besides, the driver was really speed on narrow roads (what increments the unsafety that all of us were feeling). So that I sent an email to the company complaining about that and they didn't even answer. I would never take a tour of them again!

Why this scores 60
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Wicklow tour of Glendalough: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Dublin.
How much does Wicklow tour of Glendalough cost?
+
Prices start at $118 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 tour of Glendalough take?
+
Plan for about 24 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 tour of Glendalough worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 60 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.5/5 across 8 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 tour of Glendalough?
+
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 tour of Glendalough suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 24-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Wicklow tour of Glendalough?
+
Around 3 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 24-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Wicklow tour of Glendalough 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.
