Finally, the day has arrived and you are ready to be swept off for a half day to Wicklow to enjoy all it has to offer. We will meet you at your preferred pick up location in your luxury Mercedes motor vehicle. All there is to do now is sit back relax and enjoy.

The southern suburbs of Dublin are often overlooked. Our tour takes us through south Dublin towards Dun Laoghaire which was known in Victorian times as “Kingstown”. It was a popular vacation spot in that era and still today we can see hints of this past with the Bandstand on the East Pier or beautiful People’s Park that was originally created as a formal Victorian garden. Going further we will bring you past James Joyce’s tower which he mentions in the first chapter of his “Ulysses” that is located beside the renowned swimming location the “Forty-Foot” which brave locals in their hundreds daily take the ice-cold plunge into the powerful Irish Sea.

We journey a few minutes South of Dun Laoghaire to the cute seaside town of Dalkey. As we drive through you can spot the 10th Century Church and two Norman castles. Keep your eyes peeled as you might spot some famous locals such as Bono, Van Morrison or even Matt Damon who temporarily lived in Dalkey when filming “The Last Duel” and has fallen in love with the town. If you wish you can avail of a photo-stop at Coliemore harbour which overlooks uninhabited Dalkey island which boasts two churches, one from the 7th century and a Martello tower.

Now we start to leave the hustle and bustle of the city as we head to County Wicklow to appreciate the “Garden of Ireland” as we take ourselves back in time to when St. Kevin founded this awe inspiring site. Your friendly guide will explain the stories and tales associated Glendalough and why for thousands of years people have been attracted to the valley of the two lakes. Out of your premium vehicle you will be able to spend time exploring at your own leisure St Kevin’s Church, the 10th century round tower, the magnificent Celtic crosses.

At this point of the day our guests normally think it is all over. Thankfully on our way back to Dublin City Centre we will come off the beaten track and bring you to this truly spectacular sight. The scenery surrounding the lake is used as the backdrop for the hit tv show the Vikings. It also has its nickname the “Guinness lake” because it is situated on the Luggala estate, which is part of a private estate that’s owned by the members of the Guinness family trust and other reasons of which your trusty driver guide will be able to tell you.

After an unbelievable morning of adventure in the heart of Ireland’s ancient east we find ourselves back in Dublin for a late lunch and maybe a well deserved pint of Dublin’s finest, Guinness.
