Great walk with our guide Gillian who knew a lot about the plants and ecology. Kevin drove us on a tour and provided some comic relief. Note that the roads can be windy, so some might have some motion sickness. Also, the lunch spot doesn’t have anything both gluten and dairy free but the shop across the street does!

This tour was worth every penny and is one of my favorite memories of our trip. Matt was a fabulous guide and driver. He tailored the timing of our stops to the wants of the group. He was very professional, funny, and informative. His enthusiasm was contagious! He cared a lot about the safety of everyone in the group as we climbed over rocks and crossed narrow winding roads. I cannot recommend him or the full experience more highly. Communication from the company was excellent too! (PS To Matt's boss: He deserves a raise.)

This was a great tour! Our driver Kevin was great! His stories and expert driving allowed us to sit back and relax. Such a fun day!

I had no idea about the history of Newgrange and Knowth until I took this trip. It’s crazy to think about them being older than the Pyramids and Stonehenge. And, going inside Newgrange was great. Matt is a great tour guide who went the extra distance in explaining the monastery ruins we visited.

It is a nice turn. The driver was nice. We were very impressed by all the explanations he gave us during the drive. It was very interesting. The only thing that disappointed us is that we don't have enough time to do the longest trail in Connemara National Park. Because we need around 2,5 hours for this trail and we have only around 2 hours before the bus living. In addition to that, we lose around 30-40 minutes of the walk in the national park because we are not dropped at the entrance of the park, and we have to reach it first. But it is an interesting trip and you have nice landscapes. Thank you again!

The entire day was a big hit. Terrific van ride and our Guide/Driver Linda made sure that everything was fun, informative and just as promised. She was great as was the 8 hour tour. Will tell many friends about Hilltoptreks.

This was a terrific day trip. Our driver and guide, Matt, was outstanding and passionate about Irish history and culture, so we learned much more subject matter than what was covered specific to our stops. This is also an outing which is less dependent on good weather than other countryside adventures. Highly recommend!

Linda was a wonderful guide! My small group day tour to Powerscourt and Glendalough was amazing! She was incredibly knowledgeable, warm and funny! The day was planned very well, with a stop for lunch in Enniskerry. While it was a bit foggy way up in the mountain top of the Wicklow mountains, there were incredible views over the blooming purple heather and glacial lakes. I highly recommend spending the day in this incredible area, with Hilltop Treks.

Really well run tours! Matt was our tour guide and bus driver. Really interesting guide with tons of knowledge. The tour at Newgrange and Knowth was amazing! The day could have ended after this tour and gone back to Dublin and I would have happily paid the same amount of money. The abbey and monastic site were interesting, too, but after lunch (and the bus seats are made for people with very short legs) I was ready to head back to Dublin. Just prepare for a long day--bring water and snacks, and prepare for a variety of weather -- we went from rain to wind to bright sun over the course of the day. Highly recommend! I just wish more companies offered half day tours.

An amazing day. We were pleasantly surprised with the charm and beauty of the Wicklow area. Wicklow Mountain National Park, The Sally Gap, Lough Tay, the Guinness Lake Glendalough and its 6th-century monastic site. Kevin our guide was great!!

This was a well organized tour with just the right amount of time at each locale. Knowledgeable driver/ guide and local guides at the sites. The sites were amazing and the history fascinating. Highly recommend !!

The tour had 24 people on it, despite the website saying there would only be 16 max. The coach was small, but comfortable with USB chargers (but no wifi). The guide, Matt, was awesome -- super nice & entertaining & informative. We spent almost the entire time at Brú na Bóinne and while there we did the tours of Knowth and Newgrange, plus had time for lunch and shopping in the gift shop, as well as looking at this little displays/museum in the visitor center. The 2 sites were amazing and super interesting, lunch was fine, and the displays were pretty meh. We also stopped at Monasterboice and Mainistir Bhuithe which were cool old sites as well.

An absolutely amazing tour! The views were spectacular. Kevin, our driver, was extremely friendly and knowledgeable!

Gillian was great & informative. However I booked this to see Viking filming locations. A bit disappointed Gillian had no clue.

First I’d like to explain that Kevin gets 5 stars for his job as driver/guide. He ticked all the boxes as far as driving safely, explain sites and answer questions. My issue is the website should explain a little more thoroughly that if you chose a guided tour, that means you won’t be able to see the house or gardens. Maybe I didn’t read thoroughly but I had hoped a guided tour meant of the house and gardens themselves. We were surprised that means you actually miss the house and garden portion of the tour. Also to someone in only fair physical condition the hike is slightly strenuous. I don’t think we were tricked or anything, but am more disappointed that this isn’t explained more thoroughly while choosing this option.
