Overview

You will be collected in style by a luxury Paddywagon coach from the Cruise Ship Terminal in Dublin. Your guide will begin the day with a panoramic tour of Dublin City, pointing out highlights such as Trinity College, O'Connell Street, the GPO, Molly Malone, River Liffey, Ha'Penny Bridge, Christchurch Cathedral, and St Patrick's Cathedral. You shall then continue south of Dublin to the nearby Wicklow Mountains. Here you shall visit Glendalough - which means the valley of two lakes. The scenery in the Wicklow Mountains has been made famous by movies such as Braveheart and P.S. I Love You. At Glendalough you will be spellbound by the scenery of this enchanting place, and will also have the chance to visit the monastery, and marvel at its round tower and of course its famous cross founded by St Kevin. This is truly one of the most historic sites in Ireland and the most popular place to see for people visiting Dublin. Our guides are considered Ireland's finest to inspire you on your journey.
