The tour runs approximately 8 hours and times the return to the ship around its departure window, so you don't have to calculate the schedule yourself. Small group sizes and an air-conditioned coach are standard; lunch is your choice of stops along the way.Is it for me?The 8-hour day starts early and moves at a steady pace—you're on the coach by 08:00 and covering ground through Wicklow and back into Dublin—which is what keeps Glendalough's monastic site, the mountain scenery, and Dublin's city center all inside one departure window.
