Top Dublin City Tours

My wife and I only had two nights and less than three days in Dublin, so we wanted a memorable day-trip, knowing we would have enough time with the remainder to get a good taste of Dublin. We saw several day trips that looked similar and decided on this one (the word "wild" in the title might have swayed us slightly). The price seemed quite excellent considering it was a full-day trip! The itinerary was full but not cramped. There was adequate time to rest in between bits of exertion. Our guide Jim was outstanding: just a relaxed gentleman from Wicklow who was quite happy to talk knowledgeably about the sites we were visiting. He had a nice sense of humor and a good way with people young and old. The stops on the trip were great. I did think that the advertised "Avoca Handweavers" and the opportunity to buy "fine handmade goods" was going to be a bit like a country village instead of an upscale store, but the coffee there was good and it was appropriate to take a bathroom break at this point. So I still liked that stop. I just expected it was going to be more of a cultural experience. The stops for scenic overlooks were perfect, and we had plenty of time at each for photos. Jim knew when to hurry us along, as he wanted us to have more time at Glendalough. Learning about the bogs was absolutely and surprisingly fascinating! The lunch stop was outstanding. I really enjoyed my beef and Guinness stew with a nicely-poured pint to wash it down. The stop at the monastic settlement was a definite highlight. The only thing I might have changed the whole day was to do without the walk along the lake to the further parking lot. It was nice to stretch our legs, but I've seen plenty of lakes before so it was nothing really special. I would have more enjoyed more time at the settlement or at one of the earlier stops/viewpoints. All in all it was a grand day and it makes me want to do things like this more, wherever I find myself!

The Wicklow Guided walking tour with tour guide Linda and her pup Bowie, quiet lunch in Enniskerry and visit to Glendalough was a refreshing and an exceptional experience. We enjoyed the pace of the walking tour and the information provided by Linda the tour guide/driver. As a local resident she was able to provide valuable insight into the Wicklow area which added so much to our Ireland experience. The day tour was a great balance between guided tour and time on our own to explore at our own pace. We highly recommend Hilltop Treks for your next adventure.

This was a fantastic tour. Kevin was very knowledge with a great sense of humor. It was an easy walking tour and we went to 5 fantastic places for a mix of drinks and food, some tradition, some not. At the end of the tour we got a list of recommendations around the city which was helpful as well. I would highly recommend this tour. It’s one of the best I’ve done.
