I absolutely loved this tour! The Wicklow Mountains are a must-see when you're in Ireland - you're transported to another world, just ~30 minutes away from Dublin. Niall was a wonderful host, acting as both our driver and guide for the entire day. He took great care of us, and taught us a lot about Ireland in fun and delightful ways. You can tell when someone truly loves their town, and it was clear with Niall. He even took us on a few surprise stops and helped take pictures all day. He also made sure we had reservations for lunch - the food was SO good. And he gave a great and engaging tour of the monastery as we walked through. Want proof of how good he is? Random strangers started joining our walking tour just to listen to him, ha!

Finally, Niall was also really thoughtful when it came to the group, taking care of folks who needed help with walking and even offering to make custom stops back in Dublin at the end of the tour. His hospitality and charm are unmatched. I want to thank him and Wild Wicklow Tours for a truly wonderful day. :)

Anthony was great! Very knowledgeable about Ireland history and gave us just the right amount of time at every stop. I had only one day to explore Ireland after a business trip, and this was an excellent value for the time.

Tour très intéressant, chauffeur/guide très sympathique et ayant à cœur de nous faire découvrir cette région. Paysages époustouflants. Arrêt ds un restaurant très bien (non compris ds le prix du tour). Je recommande. Une suggestion : un guide papier ou à télécharger en français (ou autres langues) voire des liens Web sur les principaux sites vus serait un plus : l'anglais avec l'accent irlandais n'est pas facile à comprendre... merci
