Overview

Ireland is packed with hidden treasures — places where charming scenery rubs up against a rich and fascinating history. So where do you find such treasures? Well, in Glendalough and Wicklow mountains.

The ruins of the early medieval monastery at Glendalough are a particular highlight, while the sweeping forested hillsides and crystalline lakes offer the perfect backdrops. Exploring this singular landscape is easy with our Wicklow Glendalough tour.

The Glendalough and Wicklow Mountains tour departs from Dublin at 9:30 AM. After a warm welcome from your guide, and the chance to meet the other guests sharing the experience with you, the drive through the stunning Irish countryside awaits.

We will arrive at Powerscourt Waterfall at 10:30 AM. You will have approximately 45 minutes to 1 hour to explore this stunning natural wonder in the Wicklow Mountains. Feel free to walk around and capture beautiful photos of the waterfall as you take in the scenery.

After the waterfall, we will arrive at Glendalough Monastery around midday. You'll have 2 hours to explore this monastic site. Saint Kevin founded this Christian settlement in the 6th century, with most existing structures built in the 10th-12th centuries. Enjoy a leisurely lunch in a charming environment, and then we continue the tour. Unfortunately, lunch is not provided, but you will be able to get some food, in the shops, restaurants, or food trucks that are around the park.

Next stop: Hollywood. Only this time it's the original Hollywood.

Ireland's beauty is out there waiting for you. And a day trip to the Glendalough and Wicklow mountains is the perfect way to unlock the magic.

Itinerary

09:30: Departure from Dublin

This day trip leaves Dublin at 9:30 AM. We depart from the Molly Malone statue on Suffolk Street. Please arrive 10 minutes early to meet your guide and fellow travellers. The map is linked on our booking page.

Powerscourt Waterfall

Our first stop of the day is the Powerscourt Waterfall in the heart of County Wicklow. Is one of the country's tallest waterfalls, cascading approximately 121 meters (397 feet) down into a lush valley. The waterfall has been a popular attraction since the 18th century and has been featured in several films and television shows, showcasing its picturesque beauty.

Glendalough Monastery

We arrive at the famous Glendalough Monastery early in the afternoon. This is the perfect arrival time, with most people having already left. It's really worth taking your time to explore this place, so we give you 90 full minutes to really get acquainted with its beauty.

Holywood Village

Our next stop is a quaint village with a famous name. Hollywood in Wicklow isn't as famous as its Californian cousin, but it was definitely here first.

4:30 PM: Arrive in Dublin

We arrive back in Dublin at 4:30 PM, full of great memories and stories to tell. We drop you back at the Molly Malone statue on Suffolk Street, where your adventure began many hours ago.

Headphones to listen to the commentary on the multilingual app
