The drive through Wicklow Mountains National Park alone is a reason to go private here, and Lough Tay - better known as 'Guinness Lake' for its real ties to the Guinness family's Luggala estate on its shore - is the kind of dramatic, black-sand-and-dark-water viewpoint that's hard to do justice to from a coach window.
Glendalough is the day's historical anchor: a monastic settlement founded in the second half of the 6th century by St Kevin, who originally came to the valley simply looking for solitude as a hermit. Its 30-metre Round Tower, built partly as a refuge from Viking raids, still stands among the ruins of stone churches and a priests' house in a valley whose Irish name, Gleann Dá Loch, literally means 'valley of two lakes'.
Powerscourt Gardens is offered as an optional add-on at your own expense rather than built into the standard itinerary - worth confirming when you book if you want the full estate experience alongside the mountain scenery and Glendalough's ancient ruins.
