About this experience

Smaller Coach. Wilder Roads. The Best of Wicklow. Unlike many larger coach tours, our smaller coach takes you beyond the main roads and deeper into the Wicklow Mountains, with access to spectacular mountain roads, valleys and viewpoints that larger vehicles often cannot reach. Travel with one of our expert local guides for a fun, relaxed day filled with scenery, history, stories and plenty of time to experience Wicklow. Highlights: scenic drive along Dublin’s southern coast, Killiney Hill, Avoca Handweavers (Kilmacanoge), Sally Gap, Lough Tay (Guinness Lake), Glendalough’s ancient monastic site and free time to explore the Valley of the Two Lakes. Finish with a complimentary taste of Glendalough Whiskey. Winter itinerary – 1 November to 4 April: Killiney Hill and Avoca are normally excluded, allowing more time for the Wicklow Mountains, Lough Tay and Glendalough.
