ceetee Posted February 6, 2018 #1 Share Posted February 6, 2018 Day trip from Dublin to Wicklow and Glendalough. Comparing bus tour vs Railtours which is train, bus, train. Same locations but price difference. Would like to hear feedback from anyone who has taken either one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
comcox Posted February 6, 2018 #2 Share Posted February 6, 2018 I did the bus tour but it was a few years ago. I found it a very enjoyable day tour. We had time to wander around the historic site on our own which I enjoy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kccrzr Posted February 7, 2018 #3 Share Posted February 7, 2018 (edited) We took the train/bus/train tour from Dublin to Glendalough and Avoca (where we visited the mill store and had a wee bit to eat in a pub/restaurant before heading back to Dublin). I am not one who usually enjoys organized tours but this one was great. Glendalough was magical and mystical and we got a beautiful wool throw at the Avoca mill. We had a tour guide in addition to the bus driver. The guide was excellent and it was an experience in itself seeing how the bus driver navigated the narrow, winding Irish lanes. As I recall, we did the train/bus combination tour to maximize time and go to Avoca as well as Glendalough.

elaine5 Posted February 7, 2018 #5 Share Posted February 7, 2018 If we take the train to Kilkenny from Dublin would we be able to see decent scenery of Wicklow mountains? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
