Only rating 2 because Glendalugh is a must see as is Kilkenny....but we paid for a full day Tour and literally got dropped off to fend for ourselves. We could have hired a driver, and taken the train to Kilkenny (we took the train back on our own instead of enduring the stark silence of the 7 passenger bus). We were asking questions along the drive to understand more about wicklow mountain area. The repeat answer from the tour guide was "i don't really know". In fact one of the other passengers looked up the answer to one of our questions we asked. I'm pretty sure the Tour guide should have at least pointed out Wicklow Gap as we sped past...
