Explore Newgrange, the Battle of the Boyne site, and Monasterboice on an 8-hour small-group trip from Dublin with a local guide.
“The tour was good overall. The guide made a comment however, that I found deeply offensive when he was talking about the Famine. He said that the Irish people perhaps didn't have the tools or education to fish during that time. Anyone who knows their history will know that was not the truth, and it's a terrible thing to say about the people of the country.”

Visit Belfast and Titanic’s birthplace from Dublin, then explore Monasterboice’s ancient churches, round tower, and carved Celtic crosses.
“Il tour in sé è bello e capiamo che la puntualità è essenziale per garantire a tutti una bella esperienza, ma essere rimproverati due volte per essere arrivati pochi minuti prima della partenza è un po' troppo. A Belfast, l'orario di partenza per andare al Titanic era alle 13.00. Alle 12.58 eravamo a 50 metri dall'autobus che stava già partendo, abbiamo dovuto sbracciarci e correre per evitare di essere lasciati in città. Abbiamo anche trovato alcune affermazioni o battute piuttosto inopportune, come l'appoggio alle bande che sparano agli spacciatori in certi quartieri o l'aver detto alla guida del Titanic che c'erano due passeggeri single con cui poteva provarci, fino al…”

Review of the private Newgrange and Hill of Tara tour from Dublin, with practical advice on price, guides, timing, tickets, and flexible stops.
“We loved our tour with Noel. He was fun, easy-going, super informative, and made the day pure joy. We did the inside tour of the burial chamber, which we would HIGHLY recommend. Just amazing. We also chose to go to the Hill of Slane instead of Tara, since it’s high season and we didn’t want to face the crowds. So glad we did - we were the only people at the hill, walking through the ruins and hearing stories of St Patrick from Noel. It was magic. If you’re in Dublin and looking for something truly unique, we would recommend this tour. We think you’ll love it!”
