View on Google MapsWe had an amazing tour of County Wicklow with Dairine as our guide. My husband was looking to trace his roots and Dairine tailored our day-long tour to provide history and stops & hikes of significant places pertinent to his family. She was extremely knowledgeable and genuinely wanted to convey to us the feel of his native land and ancestry. It was an extraordinary experience.
We were looking for someone to take us around to check out family roots. We knew a bit, but not much, she did her homework beforehand and guided us to obscure churches and graveyards related to our search. She expertly drove on twisty turny back roads without a flinch. She took us the scenic routes when she could and my goodness, they were scenic!! She took us to counties and towns where the Leesons lived almost 200 years ago. It was a revelation! We even went to a 12th century Abby she'd never even been to, so she was really into it. To top it off we went to Huntington Castle which was a nice surprise and totally gorgeous. She made potty stops and coffee/ tea/ cake stops. And topped it all off with a beer at the dearest little pub. Oh! and she picked us up and dropped us off in a lovely luxury car. It was a perfect day. Don't hesitate to let Dairine make your special day REALLY special.

We spent two wonderful days with Dairine touring Dublin and Wicklow. She picked us up right where we were staying and took us on a lovely tour through Wicklow. The weather was tricky that day but Dairine was flexible and able to make our day magical even with some rain and wind. We toured the amazing Powerscourt Estate which was such a delight. Dairine is a wealth of information and a fantastic guide.
Dairine was awesome, she picked us up at the Cruise port on time in her very comfortable Mercedes. We had a nice drive to Powerscourt and she personally guided us through the amazing garden. We visited many other beautiful places in County Wicklow, lakes, mountains and historic places and had a delicious lunch at a very nice restaurant. She even arranged for us to visit a sheep farm and witness the gentleman and his sheep dogs work his sheep. Dairine’s personal knowledge of the area and the people made our day special. As a lifelong resident of the area, you feel her passion for County Wicklow.and the mountains. She also has a very good understanding of Dublin. We would definitely select her again and recommend to friends traveling to Dublin
My wife and I just enjoyed a wonderful tour of the Wicklow Valley area with Dairine. it turns out she grew up there and still lives there, so she is very well acquainted with all its features. She took us on a lovely 4+ mile walk through and around the valley, including some modestly steep climbs and descents which, although we're both around 70 years old, we found quite doable. We also had a fine tour of Powerscourt gardens, which is impressive. Dairine was a wealth of information throughout our trip and was an engaging conversationalist. All in all, I would strongly suggest this outing to others. It makes a nice getaway from Central Dublin.
Magical, breathtaking, healthy, fun, and educational. My 15-year-old daughter and I had the most wonderful day with Dairine exploring Wicklow. I am so glad we chose to do this.
Dairine was the perfect guide, extremely knowledgeable and pleasant, true local who had great perspective.
What a memorable day! Dairine was prompt, friendly, knowledgeable and extremely accommodating. She was able to structure our itinerary to ensure we were able to take in breathtaking views, learn a lot about the landscape and life in Wicklow. I highly recommend her!
My parents (60s) and I (early 30s) enjoyed a wonderful day in Wicklow with Dairine. From the start I had excellent communication and planning with Dairine. The day of our tour we didn't have the best weather (cold & rainy), but Dairine kept a great attitude which spread to us as well. She adapted our day to fit the weather and our interests. We went to a farm museum (perfect for my family with a history in agriculture) and saw not only so many historical items, but our lovely host provided so much detailed information. This ended up being a highlight for my father and great way to stay out of the rain. Throughout our tour we had lovely chats with Dairine, and she shared so much interesting history (past & present) with us about Wicklow & Ireland. She has incredible time-management and got us to many locations without us feeling rushed or as if we were missing something. I HIGHLY recommend a tour with Dairine, it will be the highlight of your trip!
It was so fun and informative to tour around Wicklow with Dairine. She was born and raised in the area so she knew all the best (and least crowded) places to hike and she shared lots of interesting stories and tidbits along the way. She was prompt about picking us up from our hotel and making sure we were back in time for our dinner reservation. And she has a lovely vehicle that made for a very comfortable and luxe driving experience. Our highlights from the day include: Seeing so many unique varieties of plants at Powerscourt Gardens, relaxing at the grotto near Glencree, a delicious lunch (and the best scone I’ve ever had) at Roundwood Stores, and hiking through the ruins of a monastic city at Glendalough. I would definitely recommend this tour to anyone who likes to spend time in nature & get local insights.
