Top Dublin Cruises & Sailing - page 2

From start to finish, this tour exceeded every expectation. The journey out to Howth is stunning in itself, but what really makes this experience special is the perfect combination of breathtaking scenery and an engaging, knowledgeable live guide. The coastal views are nothing short of spectacular—rugged cliffs, sparkling blue waters, and charming harbor scenes that feel straight out of a postcard. Our guide brought everything to life with fascinating history, local stories, and just the right amount of humor. It never felt rushed, and there was plenty of time to take photos, explore, and really soak in the beauty of the area. Walking along the cliffs and looking out over the Irish Sea was a highlight we’ll never forget. The bus was comfortable, well-organized, and made the entire experience seamless and relaxing. It’s the perfect way to escape the city for a few hours without any stress of planning. If you want incredible views, authentic Irish charm, and a top-notch guided experience, this tour is worth every minute. Highly recommend for anyone visiting Dublin!

I met so many people from different parts of the country during the tour..all were lovely folks! I did the Guinness/Jameson tour in the morning and finished my day with this tour. I was one drunken female by the end of the night lol but it was really fun!

Had such an amazing time on this tour. We left promptly (don't be late!) and had a really lovely morning at Glendalough. Luke was our guide, really funny & charming. Was quick to offer recommendations of things to see & do no matter where you were headed. He provided back story on the places we visited and fun facts such as filming locations of iconic shows. Also loved that he repeated questions he got asked by others after each stop. Anyway back to trip, we lucked out with it being a beautiful sunny morning at Glendalough. It's so peaceful. Definitely take time to sit and absorb your surroundings. At the top of Wicklow, a lovely older man named Jim was there who shared a little bit about working on the power station there. Luke also volunteered to take photos (thanks!) and let everyone have their time. The sheepdog demonstration was so much fun. And vying with Glendalough for my favourite part of the experience. Seeing how the dogs work and how much control the Sheppard has over them was so cool to see. The gent also shared some of the difficulties of Irish farming which I also appreciated and deserves to be acknowledged. I did get to hold a bottle feed a baby lamb so.. best day ever?? Next was Kilkenny, it was a little rainy by then but a cute small town to explore. Didn't do much here since I popped into a restaurant to eat - Aroi - food was really delicious. Eli was our driver and he was great as well. I was able to completely knock out on the way back with no interruptions 😅 that's smooth driving.

Dragos is a very lively guide. He is also very attentive to our needs as travelers. He finds out specifically our likes and interests and tailors the tours accordingly to our preferences. He even recommends places of our interests for us to visit on days when we travel on our own in Dublin. A very knowledgeable guide who share vast information from culture to history to education to nature etc. You ask any questions and he will provide you with the information. It was an very engaging and enjoyable day touring with Dragos as our guide!

We had an amazing day with David touring the Bonye Valley. I was unable to secure tickets to Newgrange prior to the tour as they were sold out online, but David recommended we arrive at opening to see if there were any cancellations for the day and there were! The tickets were for noon, so he reconfigured our tour and took us to the Hill of Tara and an Bective Abbey and was an endless fountain of knowledge on both! When we returned to Newgrange we were in awe of the history and engineering- so glad we did not miss this! I cannot say enough about what a joy it was to have David as our tour guide. Between the rain for most of the day and not having advance tickets to Newgrange it could have been a disappointing day, but our tour far exceeded our expectations. Thank you David for an unforgettable experience and the true pleasure of your company for the day. We are grateful.

My fiance and I had an absolute blast on the craft beer and seafood tour in Howth with Patrick! Everything from start to finish was fantastic. The food and beer were top-notch, and the company of our fellow travelers made the day even more enjoyable. ​But the real star of the show was our guide, Patrick. He was awesome! Friendly, funny, and incredibly engaging, he made us feel like we were all just a group of friends exploring Howth together. He shared great stories and insights that made the experience so much more than just a tour. ​If you're looking for a fun, delicious, and memorable way to experience Howth, this tour is a must-do. And if you're lucky enough to get Patrick as your guide, you're in for an unforgettable time. We can't recommend it enough!

This was so much fun. I was a bit hesitant as a solo traveler to do this one, but I’m so glad I did! I actually had one of the best seats in the house, learned some dance moves and made some new friends. It’s really a fun experience and I highly recommend it to everyone! The dancers are phenomenal and we had a great singer as well. Just a fantastic day connecting with my Irish roots.

Excellent time with Dave. The experience was terrific. Dave was very accommodating with timing issues and we made the best of the time we had after meeting him. Viator trip was 5 star. FYI to ship passengers: Princess had a procedure that prevented people with outside tours from tendering to shore until after 9:30 (tendering started at about 7:30 am) and we left the ship at 10:30 for a 30 minute tender. Therefore we missed almost half of our full day experience. Better communication would allow people to make alternate trip arrangements.
