We traveled in April and...

Elizabeth_M, Apr 2026

We traveled in April and the visitor center doesn’t open until May 1st. This tour was a wonderful alternative. Beautiful location that came to life as we listened to the narration would absolutely recommend picking up this tour.

Loved my virtual tour of the hill of tara

Paul_T, Sep 2024

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.

Tara - not to be missed

If you enjoy spending time and absorbing history within a beautiful landscape, all at your own pace … then this is for you! A very well presented audio, that was not only easy to follow and engaging, but enlightening.
