Full description

The Boyne Valley is to Irish people what Israel is to Christians. The Boyne Valley is historically the most important part of Ireland. On this tour you’ll be taken back through the mists of Ireland’s ancient history, spanning over 5,000yrs to visit Newgrange (an ancient passage tomb older than the Pyramids), The Hill of Tara (the old capital of Ireland), Slane (where St. Patrick secured his legacy), Monasterboice Monastery (famed for its elaborately carved High Crosses) and Trim Castle (a mighty spectacle from the 12th century). Why people love this tour: 1. Walk into a tomb that’s over 5000 years old and be moved by its majesty & mystery. 2. Stand atop the Hill of Tara (Ireland’s historic cultural, spiritual and political capital), contemplating its huge significance whilst peering at Ireland’s endless verdant stretches before you. 3. The myths, legends and histories of St. Patrick, ancient Gaelic Kings, battles and societies open up a whole world that you never knew existed.

Outstanding Experience seeing Ancient Sites

Aidan was our driver-guide. He was warm, welcoming, knowledgeable, and an excellent driver! He was exceptional! He shared a great wealth of Irish history-- from pre-Celtic to current-- and really brought the sites and countryside alive! We had the best day! This was worth every penny, and will always be remembered as one of our favorite experiences in Ireland. We are grateful to have so enjoyably learned so much! Ireland has a fascinating history.

Dublin and surrounding area

Tommy M. Made for an amazing day seeing the gorgeous sites of Ireland within 90 minutes of Dublin. We had the most fantastic time with him as he told so many stories of the country. I couldn’t recommend this tour more. Cheers to Tommy! Best. Day.ever!

Could have been better.

Trim castle was great! Unfortunately, we were unable to complete the main part of the tour (New Grange) because we were not told we needed to book tickets in advance. Everything else was OK. Also, the distillery was closed. Although our driver was great, this tour was definitely not worth the cost. I would not trust Viator again for any tours I take.
