Very interesting visit, excellent value Award. To do. - Very good visit, interesting and competent Guide. Excellent beef stew in the cafeteria. Relatively small group (20) which means that the Guide does not have to stray to make himself understood.

The whole tour was very... - The whole tour was very interesting, the locations were well selected. The guide, Mat is an Irish patriot and a good driver. He was kind, attentive, enthusiastic and very much dedicated to provide information and educate the participants about the historical background. He explained very well the tour and the locations, that we have attended. He very well managed an unexpected situation, when there were difficulties to attend Newgrange for everyone. He also well organised the tour, so we were able have a good look at all places. The lunch in Newgrange was tasteful and well provided. We liked the whole day very much.

Fantastic tour - Newgrange was an amazing experience. Kevin, our tour guide, drove us to and from the sites, but once you’re within the Knowth and Newgrange Visitir’s Center, your actual tour of these ancient sites is handled by the office of Public Works. This company handles the driving to/from these sites, and your entry ticket to them. Kevin then drove us afterward to Monasterboice, which has free admission, and took us through his own detailed tour of this beautiful area. I’d been on 3 other tours around Dublin in the days leading up to this one, but Kevin still shared lots of facts and anecdotes about Dublin that I hadn’t yet heard. I highly recommend the tour.

Newgrange - Very enlightening tour. I had no idea that the Irish had these types of structures over 5,000 years ago. Our guide did an excellent job of telling the story.

Great trip, long day (would have paid same for 1/2 day) - Really well run tours! Matt was our tour guide and bus driver. Really interesting guide with tons of knowledge. The tour at Newgrange and Knowth was amazing! The day could have ended after this tour and gone back to Dublin and I would have happily paid the same amount of money. The abbey and monastic site were interesting, too, but after lunch (and the bus seats are made for people with very short legs) I was ready to head back to Dublin. Just prepare for a long day--bring water and snacks, and prepare for a variety of weather -- we went from rain to wind to bright sun over the course of the day. Highly recommend! I just wish more companies offered half day tours.

Newgrange and Knowth were awesome! - The tour had 24 people on it, despite the website saying there would only be 16 max. The coach was small, but comfortable with USB chargers (but no wifi). The guide, Matt, was awesome -- super nice & entertaining & informative. We spent almost the entire time at Brú na Bóinne and while there we did the tours of Knowth and Newgrange, plus had time for lunch and shopping in the gift shop, as well as looking at this little displays/museum in the visitor center. The 2 sites were amazing and super interesting, lunch was fine, and the displays were pretty meh. We also stopped at Monasterboice and Mainistir Bhuithe which were cool old sites as well.
