Kilkenny, Wicklow Mountains & Glendalough: Day Tour from Dublin

About
Join a day trip to Kilkenny, the Wicklow Mountains, and Glendalough.
Depart from Dublin in the morning. Travel by an air-conditioned coach with a local guide from Dublin city centre to Kilkenny. On arrival, you can take part in a guided walking tour of the city, followed by free time to explore on your own or have lunch.
After Kilkenny, continue through the Wicklow Mountains on a scenic drive. If conditions allow, there will be a short photo stop at Wicklow Gap.
The next stop is Glendalough, where you’ll have over two hours to explore the monastic site and surrounding lakes at your own pace. Optional guided walks are available in both Kilkenny and Glendalough.
