Had a wonderful time. We were able to see so much on this trip. Truly amazing. Glad I could mark it off my bucket list.
The driver and the tour director were outstanding.
If I could change anything it would be staying at that Clayton hotel. It was just so so. The room on that first night was better than the return room we had. The return room carpet was really dirty and overall did not look great. The shower in the return room also was very small and leaked.
We did like the restrauant / bar was very nice.

Overall, really a five but I have consider my wife, as I am still sleeping with her... but the quality of the Clayton made it feel like we were at a Courtyard By Mariottt. It is designed to accommodate the business traveler. BUT, your bar made up for it. Everyone that served us during both stays made it all worthwhile. So, kind, geuine and takes the time to learn about you and indulges us, about them just as well. We'll done overall folks. Plus keep striving for Excellence.

A week-long walk near Dublin through a patchwork of landscapes on the Emerald Isle's oldest waymarked hiking trail. The Wicklow Way is Ireland's oldest waymarked trail, pioneered by a famous hill walker, J.B Malone over 40 years ago and reveals some of Irelands finest views; Powerscourt Waterfall, Luggala, Loch Dan, Glenmalure and historical Glendalough. The trail extends from Marlay Park in Dublin to Clonegal on the borders of Wicklow and Carlow covering a distance of 127 kilometres (79 miles). The way winds through the Wicklow Mountains, one of the country's most spectacular upland areas. The advantage of walking south to north means you will finish your walk in Dublin. This is a shortened version of the walk with a start in Tinahely. If you want to complete the full Wicklow Way walk, please refer to the 9-day option with trip code JIW.

This walk ends at the scattering of houses and splendid inn that make up Glenmalure hamlet.

At the head of the valley is the Guinness family estate and later in the day enjoy views of Powerscourt Waterfall, the longest in the country.
