Trip Advisor Review: Loved our tour of the Wicklow Mountains and beyond with Michael Fox. The heather was just about to be in full bloom on the "raised bogs" high in the Wicklow Mountains I guess I'll always be able to see the beautiful site of the pink/purple covering the green rolling hills. Traveling in comfort and with Michael Fox was a real treat. Learning so much about the history and seeing it first hand. It was fun seeing the places where the peat was dug out. Michael picked us up from our hotel and treated us to a perfect day with historic sites, celtic crosses, beautiful Manor houses and gardens. A very full and meaningful day. Michael is caring, thoughtful, informative and interesting. I guess everything a great tour guide should be. Thanks again Michael. Original Trip Advisor Review.
