What to do and see in County Wicklow, Province of Leinster: The Best Things to do for Honeymoon

Footfalls Walking Holidays was founded in 1994 by Christopher and Teresa Stacey. We wanted to share our love and interest in the great outdoors with others so we started guiding individuals and groups in the Wicklow Mountains. Before long we were getting requests from our customers to see more of Ireland than just Wicklow and also do self-guided tours. Today we have expanded to where we are offering guided and self-guided tours to almost every corner of Ireland, Scotland, Wales and the Lake District. Despite out growth almost all of our tours are guided by us, Christopher and Teresa, to guarantee that personal touch.

Ireland’s original and leading small-group tour operator since 2002, Vagabond specialises in fantastic off-the-beaten track tours of Ireland – we will take you to the hidden corners of the world’s favourite country.
