The horse ride was my favourite part! Meetup point was straightforward. Wicklow and Glendalough were just so beautiful! I would do this again with friends or family :)
Amazing experience! From the horseback riding, immaculate views, to the excellent driver with history of the Irish country along the way.
Went on this as a day trip from Dublin to get a horseback ride in and get out of the city. Really nice people, felt a bit rushed in and out the door but that was your day timing. Trail ride is a very low key plod along as most are but a pretty countryside. Then time in Glendalough was gorgeous. Recommend for sure
Thank you very much Kallie for the positive feedback
Had a great time horseback riding - great views and scenery. Our guide/driver Laura was very knowledgeable and engaging.
Thank you Christopher for the excellent review.
Matt was an amazing guide. Provided historical and fun facts about Ireland. He was interesting and friendly. Provided just the right balance of information and then quiet time to digest and think about the information. Horseback riding part of the tour was beautiful. Went for a leisurely walk the the fields and the woods. The Wicklow mountains are beautiful. Enniskery was was charming town and Poppies provided a delicious lunch.
Thank you Tricia for the excellent review for the tour and our guide Matt.
Jillian was an amazing tour host. We loved every minute of the tour and also her entertaining historical notes.
Thank you very much for the wonderful review.
Great day! Definitely take the horseback ride option. Lots of driving but it was nicely split up and our guide Richard was extremely knowledgeable and quite funny!
Thank you very much Marie for the excellent review.
People at the stables were great. Great scenery. Even through the rain we both had a wonderful ride.
Thank you very much Carol for the wonderful review.
Our guide Kevin was wonderful. Plenty of history provided during our trip. The staff at the stable were super friendly and our horses were gentle and lovely. We saw tons of beautiful landscapes and had the opportunity to hike some on our own. This was the perfect amount of time and we never felt rushed and were back in time early enough to enjoy dinner out. Highly recommend!
Thank you very much Kim for the excellent and detailed review.
The horseback riding was incredible. I loved Killegar Stables. Everyone there is super friendly, and the guide, Joe, knows the forest like the back of his hand. Riding along the pastures on the way to the forest, with the ocean as the backdrop, felt like riding into a fairytale. 10 out of 10. The rest of the tour was wonderful as well, with spectacular views and a bit of history and folklore as told by our guide Derrick. All in all, I would say horseback riding was the absolute highlight for me. If you want to ride in one of Ireland's most picturesque and magical locations, I highly recommend this tour.
Thank you very much Vera for the wonderful and magical review.
