My wife and I booked a private day tour with a car and driver that took us from our hotel in Dublin to Glendalough and the Wicklow Mountains and back. Brian, our driver, was perfect, exhibiting the wit, wisdom and gentle humor of the Irish. He knew the countryside intimately and was able to take us to some fabulous locations with breathtaking scenery and interesting history. We were also able to customize the itinerary to meet our specific interests and had as much or as little free time at any of the stops as we desired. All in all, we had a wonderful experience in the Irish countryside. I would highly recommend a private car and driver for anyone who does not want to navigate the small country lanes or confusing city streets on their own (all the while driving on, what is for us, the wrong side of the road). It is also a prefect way to set your own agenda and avoid the rush and the crowds of a scheduled bus tour.
