Absolutely a must to wear... - Absolutely a must to wear proper clothes. It is WINDY and cold in the end of the November. Good shoes ( non slippery, well gripped) are the bonus of your travel. Beware of sheep ( and their droppings, lol) The guide, Flann was amazing. Good narration, nice and tasty accent, welcomed questions. Since it was end of November, we had not much tourists and it was almost a “private” tour, absolutely amazing

Ancient Ruins and Fairy Trees - Loved this tour—spent the day admiring dramatic and sweeping vistas, hiking to mystical ancient ruins and fairy trees, taking tons of photos, and learning lots of local history. Our tour guide was awesome! Totally worth the money.

Wonderful Ancient Sites - This was a great trip. I enjoyed the driver’s commentary and all the stops. I especially enjoyed the Abbey and the little shop and pub. It is quite an active tour, especially the climb up to the cairns—but the view is well worth it.

A bus tour with interesting stops and flexibility - Climbing up to the archaeological sites at Tara and the other passage grave. I liked the flexibility of stopping at Trim and being able to choose what to do over the 2 hours instead of being herded around. Our guide Brendan S. Bourne was nice and looked out for us. There were plenty of stops with recommendations for food and restroom breaks. His knowledge of the area was sufficient for our varied audience, but, if he has the opportunity, some more research would enhance the tour.u

Good itinerary and good guide to Boyne Valkey - Colin was an excellent and enthusiastic driver/guide who gave us both history and mythology during our day out of Dublin. We saw beautiful vistas, ancient carvings and were able to see 25% of Ireland from the highest point in Meath (after a strenuous but not too long climb). Castle, abbey and cairns plus a lovely lunch stop made for a well-rounded day. The weather cooperated as well.

I would recommend Cullen, bus driver #10, as your tour guide. Sense of humour, knowledge and fun. - We stayed in Dublin for our whole trip and took this day tour to the Valley of the Boyne. It was great to get out of the crush of the city. The sites were amazing. The age and time of the cairns, burial sites, hill of Tara etc. were so profound to imagine.
