a magical road through Ireland paved with green grass and Celtic remains in stone - Singing driver was the best. :) Perfect atmosphere. Great performance by a driver who was bursting with information and a great speaker. Of the monuments, I enjoyed the Fore abbey the most. Perfect day. It was nice that we could make it with our small baby. The terrain is not everywhere suitable for a stroller, so it was good that we had a stretcher for the baby and remember to wear good shoes and clothes. :)

Don’t miss this tour! - This was the best tour ever! Start to stop it was fun, informative, mystical, and our guide/driver was the BEST. Driver 7 (Jonathan Silkenbeard as we called him ) with Irish daytours . Be prepared for a wee bit of a hike in a couple of places but nothing we seniors couldn’t handle! Dress for any weather but rest sssured whatever the weather it was a true Bedt Day EVER!

The views were fantastic from the hill top - Alex was a great tour guide. Plenty of local knowledge. Easy to understand. The trek up Loughcrew was a workout. My step counter said it was the equivalent of climbing 39 flights of stairs…..But worth every step.

Perfect day trip from Dublin: Tara, the Boyne & Lough Cree - The final stop at Lough Cree, assisted by the cooperation of ideal weather, made that event the highlight of an outstanding day of exploration and discovery. The guide, Tom, explained the significance of each stop’s history, and enriched the experience. I will encourage friends to participate in this offering, and am grateful for the chance to do so myself.

Wonderful Ancient sites tour from Dublin - Enjoyed the tour itinerary. Loughcrew Cairns climb was steep, but not too bad. Pace yourself is what our guide advised. Wonderful views at the top. Trim Castle (ruins) in the center of town of Trim was a pleasant surprise. Enjoyed the visit to Fore to see its seven wonders. Our guide, Alec, was awesome. Very knowledgeable and funny. Happy with this tour of Ireland's ancient sites.

Great trip and driver/guide - Alec was an awesome driver and extremely knowledgeable. We learned a lot about the history of Ireland and saw some amazing ancient sites which Alec explained in detail. I have been on other day trips where the driver just leaves you to wander, Alec walked with us when necessary to get a full appreciation of the area.

Physical Demands of Tour - It was a perfect day. Alec was knowledgeable and attentive. He asked us right away if we were told how much walking the tour required. No where in the description does it say anything about the physical demands of this tour.

Great Trip to the Boyne Valley - Great trip to several places in the Boyne Valley. The lack of information about each area from the driver (as there was no official guide) was quite frustrating. We didn’t even know where we were going for lunch until we got there? Loved the trip but wished we’d had a different driver.

Beautiful sites - Just like to say the sites were amazing would highly recommend. But gave it a one star because tour bus broke down and delayed and stuck on side of highway for a hour. Was told to contact the tour company for refund but no response 😕
