Traveler reviews
Fun ancient sites tour
Lots of things to see on this tour. Had a blast. Loved hearing all the stories and myths about these ancient sites. Would definitely recommend!
Really great tour to some lessor known sites
We really enjoyed this day trip to the Boyne Valley. Our driver and guide was Callum and he was really knowledgeable and a great driver. Our favourite stop was the cairns and the lunch spot was excellent too. Perhaps consider offering another tour to the Boyne Valley that includes Newgrange and Battle of the Boyne as we would be interested in that.
Loved this tour!
Great tour, and our guide was a fantastic storyteller! I’m impressed with his ability to drive the bus in crazy traffic but talk to us at the same time in such a calm and funny manner! Wear good walking/hiking shoes and bring rain gear just in case. Each stop was interesting and fun. 10/10 would recommend!
This was a cool and low...
This was a cool and low key tour which was perfect for us on the tail end of our trip. Alec did a great job as both a driver and a tour guide. He took the time to explain each site and the history/folklore behind them. He stopped for a long lunch at a very reasonably priced restaurant with a lot of options. We also enjoyed the distillery stop and bought a couple bottles to take home. I'm guessing this tour isn't as popular as places like Blarney and Giants Causeway, which we also went to, but it was still a fun day and I'd recommend it.
Awesome day trip from Dublin
As a lover of history and archaeology, this was one of the highlights of my trip to 🇮🇪. Starting with the first stop at the hill of tara, the delight of fore and ending with the loughcrew cairn it was truly a marvelous day experiencing the ancient past of Ireland
