Great everything. Our guide JR made the activity very enjoyable for us. The monastery is beautiful and the mountains and lakes of Wicklow are very beautiful. I expected it to be a longer hiking trail, it is very short but it is very beautiful. The food at Johnnie Fox's is quite good, you can tell that it is homemade and it is appreciated, it consists of a very good cream of vegetables, a fairly rich and warm meat or vegetable stew, a piece of delicious banana cake, water, coffee or tea and bread made by them that is incredible. I recommend it 100%.

Do not hesitate to go with Mario to enjoy the good experience in the Wicklow natural park. Very complete excursion to very interesting places in this natural park. And to finish off, excellent traditional food in a bar, as I would say, a battle bar. Thank you very much Mario and a big hug. Joel and Ariana
