About Hilltoptreks

We had a great time on our tour to New Grange, the Boyne Valley and Monasterboice. Our guide, Matt was very knowledgeable and entertaining as well

St. Kevin was an excellent driver on all the narrow and winding roads. He was informative and his song playlist was outstanding. We very much enjoyed the horseback riding, as well as our time in Enniskerry and the old monastery. One suggestion: Have copies of the monastery trail maps available rather than having us take pictures of the lone laminated one.

An excellent tour to Glendalough and the Wicklow Mountains. Matt was a brilliant tour guide with many fascinating stories and infomation about the area and the history. He is clearly very passionate about the history of this beautiful part of the world and I learnt so much. The minibus was comfortable and it's much better to do a tour with a small group. The lunch stop at Poppies was also delicious.

Gorgeous views of Powerscourt Gardens, Wicklow Mountains and Gleandalough. Our driver/guide Linda us very knowledgeable and delightful. The lunch at Poppies in Enniskerry was so yummy and hit the spot. Rain didn’t slow us down. Great tour for those interested in getting outta of Dublin.

I truly enjoyed my trip! The Tour Guide was knowledgeable and humorous! And the scenery absolutely beautiful!

Fantastic day with hilltoptreks! Terry was an absolute legend. He showed up the most beautiful spots and entertained us with Irish stories, songs and even Irish bag pipes! We had a gorgeous lunch in Wicklow and had the most magical day in Ireland. Thank you Terry and Hilltoptrek for the most memorable journey!

We actually prefer exploring national parks by ourselves, but we were glad we didn't this time because it's huge and then we would have missed on a lot of information about Ireland, the Irish language and specifically the Wicklow area from our wonderful guide. Gillian. We were lucky with the weather. It was a sunny day and not very cloudy. We chose the "Day Tour from Dublin of Wicklow, Glendalough" with a guided walk. (Be mindful of what you book, because there are different options and it's best to book on their website) The guided walk isn't that far +/- 3,5km. But it is absolutely worth it if the weather is great. No need to bring food, because we stopped at Poppies and the food was delicious.

Kevin is an amazing tour guide and storyteller. I had a great time learning about Irish folklore and history, and I even made a few friends along the way. I highly recommend this tour through the Boyne Valley!

We took the day trip to Newgrange and the Boyne Valley. Other than the torrential downpour, it was a great day. The tour bus arrived on time and our guide was full of information. The tour bus was a bit small (you really get to know your neighbors- haha!) Our guide Joseph, I believe, was the only tour guide we had that actually helped my mom off the bus (she has mobility issues and needed a little more time). He was also the only tour guide that didn’t ask for a tip- we gave him one anyway. The first 2 stops at Newgrange and Howth were amazing. The last 2 stops I could’ve skipped (or replaced with something else). The stop in Droghada for lunch wasn’t too exciting. I wish they had more information on the Battle of the Boyne there. Monasterboise was cool but a short visit that seemed like a weird add on. All in all a great day!

The tour was fantastic. Definitely recommend. Matt was amazing. I did not expect to learn so much history along with the beautiful scenery.
