Review of Dublin’s small-group shore tour to Glendalough, with Wicklow scenery, city highlights, port pickup, pricing, and practical tips.

Review this private Dublin shore trip to the Cliffs of Moher and Galway, with Burren views, flexible stops, costs, timing, and practical advice.
“Tommy was fantastic. He was very accommodating and asked us what we wanted to do and tailored the tour accordingly.

The drive back too was very picturesque. We even saw two beautiful rainbows at one point. For those who are thinking that it’s too far a drive from Dublin, go ahead and make the trip. It’s worth it!”
