Dublin and nearby areas, sightseeing in August

I will be disembarking a cruise ship in Dublin, early August. I was in this area a lot when I was a child, as we spent summers with relatives in Bray. I don't really remember anything about what we did when n Dublin.

I have booked a 3 day stay in Dublin - midweek.

I have been looking to see if there were any tours that take you around Dublin, give you an overview, or London Walks type tours. But am not finding anything that seems to make sense for me. Do people find Dublin easily walkable? Is it easy to get between sites?

Would also like to revisit Bray briefly. + I have seen the gardens of Powerscourt nearby and trying to see if I could go there after Bray. I think this is possible using DART?

Would be grateful for suggestions and advice of how to best structure this trip.

Many thanks
Katy

If you look in Rick Steve’s’ Ireland tour book, he lists several city guides for Dublin. We’ve used his recommendations in the past for different cities and they have been very good, but we haven’t used one in Dublin.
