As much as we love our city, it's nice to escape every now and again. Hop on board with today’s ticket...

We're offering you a Glendalough and Powerscourt Gardens day bus tour, or Malahide Castle and Howth Harbour tour for just €12, saving you up to 44% off DoDublin's price of up to €21.60.

Get out and about with a choice of two fantastic DoDublin tours, who hold a TripAdvisor Certificate of Excellence, so you know you'll be in trusty hands! Each tour departs from Dublin’s city centre and has you travelling in style in a double decker bus - perfect for capturing candid shots of Ireland's gorgeous scenery. The bus even comes complete with Wi-Fi and live commentary on all places of interest! Opt for the Glendalough and Powerscourt Gardens half-day tour lasting six-and-a-half hours, to see the best of what is on Dublin’s doorstep. After departing at 10.30am from Upper O’Connell Street, the bus will pass by Sandymount Strand (made famous in James Joyce’s ‘Ulysses’) before turning inland towards Wicklow Mountains, and continuing to the enchanting old-world village of Enniskerry - home to one of the country’s finest estate gardens, Powerscourt. Spend the morning in the estate’s spectacular mountain setting and explore the stunning gardens, which have been voted #3 by National Geographic in their Top 10 Gardens in the World. Then, you’ll hop back on the bus before making your way to Glendalough where you’ll have plenty of time to explore the picturesque surroundings, as well as visit the monastic settlement founded in the sixth century, before returning for 5pm. Amazing!

Alternatively, jump on board the Malahide Castle and Howth Harbour tour - departing at 11am - if you’d rather escape the bustling centre of Dublin. In this five-hour tour you’ll be surrounded with splendid views, enchanting venues and incredible history. Begin with an inclusive visit to Malahide Castle, where tour guides will take you on a journey through the history of the Talbot family, and the fascinating legacy they left behind. Next on the itinerary, is a visit to the magnificent fishing village of Howth. Known as one of the world’s great seascapes, this working harbour is a hub of activity with plenty to see and do. Whether you want to stroll along the pier, spot the seals lazing in the crystal waters or simply much on some fish and chips; Howth has it all!

Both tours also include a walking tour with Dublin historian Pat Liddy (if you wish to attend), a single loop on the hop-on hop-off bust tour of Dublin city, and your ticket will also allow you entry to the Little Museum of Dublin. What a day!
