4.6 hour Half-Day Award Winning Private Tour of the Boyne Valley

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 75 reviews · 6 hours (approx.) Top rated

Travel from Dublin in a private car with guides such as Miriam, Noel, Jim, or Paul, visiting Newgrange and the Hill of Tara. Add Monasterboice, Mellifont Abbey, Fourknocks, or Slane if time allows. Newgrange chamber tickets cost extra and must be booked ahead.

“by Terry_P -"Our driver, Paul, was excellent! He was extremely flexible and was very patient with my wife who has bad knees and must take it slowly. We would highly recommend this tour to anyone wanting to see the Hill of Tara & Newgrange. HOWEVER, WARNING - When we originally booked the tour, the tour company did not make it clear that we needed to book tickets for Newgrange on our own. Normally tours take care of all of that, so by the time we found out, everything was sold out. If not for this, I would have given 5 Stars.”
