    The day trip with our guide Ashley was fantastic. We were welcomed by a cheerful, friendly guide in a comfortable bus. The stop at Dublin Bay offered great views of Dublin city and sea. There was also plenty of time and space for our own exploration and picture taking. While driving to the Wicklow Mountains, Ashley talked about everything you want to know about Dublin. And even more than that, he has so much knowledge! The stopover with the views of the mountains and lakes was also fantastic. Finally we got off at Glendalough and had plenty of time to explore this beautiful area independently. Closing with a small whiskey tasting we drove back to Dublin satisfied and a wonderful memory richer. Our compliments to Ashley who made this day unforgettable! Ashley's knowledge, interest and cheerfulness was fantastic. Highly recommended for an adventurous day trip from Dublin.
