★★★★★ Easy, stress-free visiting out of Dublin with rich history discoveries Visiting Dublin, we wanted to explore around without renting a car. We found this tour to Glendalough, Wicklow Mountains and Kilkenny. The guide, Nick, was simply amazing. Take the (free) optional walking tour in Kilkenny with him, you'll learn a lot. And our driver, Anna! Impressive driving skills through narrow streets, and highways. Enjoy this stress free day out of Dublin without the rental trouble!S5624VSsandrac · 2026-09-22 · via Viator
