    I have searched (and found) plenty of ideas for a friend visiting Dublin for about 4 days (and will be completing my hat-trick of visits to the Guinness storehouse) but I was wondering if there are any tours or day-trips to get out of Dublin for the day?

    Whan I was in Sydney my friend organised a day-trip up to the Blue Mountains, up early, bus takes you around, tour guide was great craic, it was a brilliant day out. Anything like that in Dublin?

    Cheers.
