About this experience

Begin your journey with a visit to Kilkenny, a charming medieval city where you can wander at your own pace through its historic streets, discovering centuries-old castles, abbeys, and hidden corners full of character. Next, enjoy an authentic Irish experience with a traditional sheepdog demonstration, where you’ll witness a skilled shepherd and his dog expertly herding a flock of sheep in the countryside. Continue with a scenic drive through the breathtaking Wicklow Mountains, stopping for photos at the stunning Wicklow Gap, one of the most picturesque viewpoints in the region. Your journey then takes you to the peaceful valley of Glendalough, where you can explore one of Ireland’s most beautiful outdoor locations, rich in history and natural beauty, with time to enjoy a relaxing walk or short hike.
