The wonder that is , Newgrange - The highlight of our stay in Dublin , so pleased that we went .
Matt our tour guide was so good and so knowledgable regarding the history of not only NewGrange but the areas surrounding it.
Clodagh ( tour guide ) and John ( Newgrange tour guide) were also exceptional in their knowledge as well .
Definitely recommend this trip , particularly for those who are interested in megalithic history .

Go for it! - Very nice guide. Knowth and Newgrange was spectacular! The other places we visited was nice but not that interesting. I would rather have seen more of the beautiful Irish countryside or had a pint in a village pub after the visit to Knowth or Newgrange.

Convenient and informative (but expensive) way to see these ancient sights! - Going into the chamber at New Grange is not to be missed! The High Crosses and setting were spectacular! Learning more about the hunger famine was sobering. The story of how Ireland came under British rule was very interesting.
