Top activity of our trip highly recommended
The private car was meticulous and comfortable. Jim was an amazing guide, knew everything about Dublin and its surrounding areas and the history of all sites we visited. He accommodated changes to our itinerary to suit what we wanted to see most, and created the perfect day. He was clearly proud of his heritage, and made the day very enjoyable. Thank you Jim for your knowledge and hospitality. - Luiz, Ryan, and Colin.

Best Day Ever
Miriam, our tour guide, was just lovely. We had several stops and learned so much about the history and culture. The actual tour of New Grange was fascinating.

Nice tour; very fine driver/guide
Miriam, our driver and guide, was prompt, organized, friendly, and well informed. Her vehicle was clean and comfortable. She got us to our stops armed with information and enthusiasm. We would be glad to travel with her again.

Excellent New Grange experience
This experience was amazing. Definitely a highlight of our visit. Miriam was our guide. She was excellent and so knowledgeable about New Grange and the entire area. We could not have asked for a better experience to visit the tombs and she also took us to see really cute sheep and goats:)

Newgrange
This was such an interesting and informative trip. Noel did an excellent job of explaining the background of NewGrange and made sure we had all we needed to get into the facility. He was also very flexible and took us to at least area that was not on the least. I heartily recommend him and this tour.

Miriam is the true queen of Ireland!
Miriam was the most kind, thoughtful amazing guide you could ever ask for. She was knowledgeable and made sure we were comfortable. She thought of every detail including drinks and croissants since it was such a long tour. Her vehicle was spacious, comfortable and very clean. We had such an amazing time, we wanted to take her home. So much so that we have invited her to stay with us in the states. There is no doubt you will love this woman and her tour we can’t say enough.

Excellent day out of Dublin
Diana was full of knowledge and she customized our tour the way we wanted it. She has a passion for showing the historical sights of Ireland. This was a fun quick trip not far from Dublin.

Beautiful historic sites
We enjoyed our tour. Diana was a very knowledgeable and helpful tour guide. Having a picnic in the Irish countryside was wonderful. If you have time, I would recommend booking this tour.

See worthwhile historic sites. Leave the traffic hassles to your experienced driver and make a new friend in the process
Knowth was very informative, had ample time view the site. New grange is more spectacularly visual but brief. Noel, our driver, then took us to the ruins of the friary church on the hill of Slane giving us its history while escorting us through the ruins. He took excellent photographs of us which we really appreciated.
Our driver was on time, clean van with water bottles for us, very friendly and knowledgeable about the sites that we visited, and shared his expertise in the local area.

Loved my virtual tour of the hill of tara
Incredible experience. I think, i enjoyed this just about as much as a live tour. The virtual tour was accurate and directions were easy to follow.

Unforgettable Day in Bonye Valley
We had an amazing day with David touring the Bonye Valley. I was unable to secure tickets to Newgrange prior to the tour as they were sold out online, but David recommended we arrive at opening to see if there were any cancellations for the day and there were! The tickets were for noon, so he reconfigured our tour and took us to the Hill of Tara and an Bective Abbey and was an endless fountain of knowledge on both! When we returned to Newgrange we were in awe of the history and engineering- so glad we did not miss this! I cannot say enough about what a joy it was to have David as our tour guide. Between the rain for most of the day and not having advance tickets to Newgrange it could have been a disappointing day, but our tour far exceeded our expectations. Thank you David for an unforgettable experience and the true pleasure of your company for the day. We are grateful.

The Oklahomans
Noel was awesome to be with for 6 hours. He was extremely knowledgeable on Irish history and drove the vehicle well. I would recommend Noel for anyone who wants to take a day trip.
