★★★★★★★★★★4.8 · 2,599 reviews · from $34Our pick

Review of Dublin’s full-day tour to Glendalough, Wicklow, Kilkenny, and an entertaining Irish sheepdog show.

“Mark was a fun guide. His self deprecating humor was enjoyable. He allowed for plenty of quiet time to rest along the way. The sheepdog show was so much fun. Farmer Michael and his place were great. Kilkenny was lovely and a place I won’t soon forget. I would just update the buses either to allow chargers or to have USB-C cables.”

Review of Belvedere Irish Night in Dublin, with traditional music, dancing, a three-course dinner, audience participation, timing, and value.

“Music was good, dancers were good. Service was OK. It seemed random in timing of when food came out and paying at the end was slow. Sad they have to charge 6.50 for a bottle of water. The dinner portion seems very long and could have probably condensed Lilly an hour by starting the show as we were finishing food.!”
