Michael is a very safe and careful driver and his automobile is extremely comfortable. Our full day tour included the Wicklow mountains and Powerscourt Gardens. We also stopped at the Avoca Mills where we observed the old way of weaving, had lunch and purchased some great woollen items. Michael's tour was the highlight of our two day visit to Dublin and we highly recommend Michael for this tour! More ...

The Glendalough Upper Lake and Lower Lake add to the area's allure, offering a perfect backdrop for a leisurely stroll. Hike along the well-marked trails, breathe in the crisp mountain air, and let the awe-inspiring scenery transport you to a bygone era.
