Description

Step into the heart of Ireland’s rich past and rural beauty on this full-day tour from Dublin. Begin your journey with a visit to Glendalough, a serene monastic settlement nestled in a glacial valley. Walk among the ancient ruins of St. Kevin's monastery and enjoy the natural beauty of the surrounding lakes and forested hills.

Next, travel through the rolling landscapes of the Wicklow Mountains, a region famed for its natural drama and cinematic connections—including scenes from Braveheart and P.S. I Love You. Stop at a working Irish sheep farm, where you’ll experience a live sheepdog demonstration. Watch in awe as expertly trained dogs respond to commands and herd sheep across open fields—an authentic slice of rural Irish life. If you lucky there could be some lambs to feed or even a few collie pups to play with!

The journey continues to Kilkenny, one of Ireland’s most charming medieval cities. Here, you’ll have free time to explore. Wander through cobblestone streets, browse boutique shops, enjoy a local lunch, or wander through the gardens of Kilkenny Castle, which dates back to the 12th century. Your guide will provide insight and recommendations to help you make the most of your visit.

This tour is perfect for nature lovers, history enthusiasts, and anyone seeking to immerse themselves in the traditions and landscapes that define Ireland.
