Glendalough and Wicklow Mountains Half Day Tour from Dublin
The Viator half-day Glendalough and Wicklow Mountains tour, morning departure. Same route as the GetYourGuide half days. Seven hours door to door.
The tour begins with an introduction to Dublin City, as we head south towards County Wicklow, known affectionately as the "Garden of Ireland". Beautiful lakes, dense forests and romantic brooks make this a wonderful scenic drive and a fine day out from the big city. See the scenery made famous by films such as Braveheart and P.S. I Love You. We make our way over the Wicklow mountains to Glendalough (minimum 1,5 hrs stop) - the valley of the two lakes. Enjoy a relaxing walk to the Upper Lake and explore the monastic ruins of St Kevin's monastery including its round towers, Celtic crosses and much more.

What travellers say
★★★★ It is pretty nature, but... It is pretty nature, but that’s the only thing you get to do is about an under 2 mile hike. Had to rush back to the bus because it is not clear how far things are away from each other and how long you should spend at each sitemonica p · 2026-09-23 · via Viator

★★★ Drop off and pick up... Drop off and pick up points are not the same. There is no guided tour as part of the experience. Limited amount of time on site. It would have been very helpful to have a trail map given to us upon arrival so we could make the best use of our time.vivian l · 2026-09-16 · via Viator
