Does anyone have any experience going to Wilclow and then visiting Dublin? If so how did you get there and did you enjoy it?

You can take half-day or full-day tours to the Wicklow Mountains and Glendalough from Dublin. There are several companies that offer them. The area is beautiful and well worth a visit.

Thank You. My concern is that I would like to get a private tour with a company someone has had a positive experience with. Have you been there? Is it too much to see in one day?

Yes, I have been there several times, but I drive (use public transport in the city). Are you talking about seeing Dublin and Glendalough/Wicklow in one day? If so, yes, that is too much in one day. Even a half-day tour would leave you only a few hours to see Dublin. That would limit you to maybe a HOHO bus tour and a bit of time to walk around. I have heard good comments about several of the tour companies, but nothing about private tours.

Yes it is a one day stop. I was thinking of taking a private tour in the morning to Wicklow and then visiting Dublin on our own the rest of the day. How does that sound? It is a Sunday.

As I said previously, a half-day in Wicklow will leave you a half-day in Dublin. There won't be time to do much but a quick look at the city (though you don't say how late you will be there - are you spending the night?).
