I found it essential to visit these place to familiarize myself with the old and mystical history of Ireland_br/_ dating back 5,000-6,000 years ago.

The tour was really cool. Howth was pretty interesting. It was early when we got there, so not everything was open yet, but it was really charming! Newgrange was pretty impressive. The Hill of Tara was just okay, and I could have skipped it. Especially since the chapel exhibit was closed. Regardless, I'm so happy I went!

We were so glad that we decided to embark on this day trip. Newgrange is an incredible site and felt like hallowed ground. It was an amazing experience and the bus driver was exceptionally pleasant and helpful. We spent a week in Ireland and this was a highlight on our trip. It's also a nice distance from Dublin, just far enough so that we felt that we had a full day of adventure, but not so far as to be exhausting. To experience such history moves the soul and provides a depth of understanding at to the age of this beautiful land.

The tomb and solar clock is set in the most breath taking country side, we were amazed by the tomb and marveled the ancient residents understanding of the movement of the sun. Makes you wish you could travel in a time machine.

What a trip. Not only did Gerry and Michael provide the coach with the standard tourist information about the places we visited, they added lots of local antidotes and personal stories that brought the day alive. A day of exploration, mingled with fun and humour, these two blokes were the best. Don't go on a trip without them Many thanks for the memories, Jeff.

I wish I remembered the name of our guide I'm sure TripAdvisor can find his name through GrayLine Tours for 27 March but we had a wonderful day visiting both the Hill of Tara and Newgrange. Although I wished we had more time to spend at Newgrange 90 minutes is not enough to appreciate the site and take advantage of it's lovely visitor center and restaurant/gift shop hint hint, we are grateful we were able to see it and that for the most part the weather cooperated. Although we visited the Hill of Tara a second time on a different tour with a different guide, that is another site worth taking in twice not only because of its size but also its history. We didn't have time to visit the gift shop or cafe on either visit because I wanted to use that time for photos, but we received a special surprise on our arrival this particular day, a rainbow!!

The Newgrange site is fascinating and impressive. I loved being able to enter the structure and imagine being part of the people who used it as a ceremonial site. Our tour guide on site was knowledgeable as was our guide on the bus. Our tour bus guide was funny and knowledge and even in pouring rain gamely took us on the Tara grounds. He was unstoppable. The lunch at Newgrange was very nice, as promised. Highly recommend this day trip.

Our guide, Eion, was a hoot! I'd go anywhere with him. _br/_ To visit Newgrange, you must be with a tour and have an appointment, so we reluctantly took a bus tour. Never thought it could be so fun and interesting. Newgrange was fabulous and I thought the schedule and plan they have set up is very well thought out. _br/_ While it was Newgrange that we wanted to see we'd recently read Frank Delaney's Ireland, the Hill of Tara was also very interesting. _br/_ Highly recommend this tour especially if Eion is the driver/guide. He's the modern day version of an Irish storyteller.

Our tour guide Jerry was fun and informative. This is a shorter day trip from Dublin--full of history and a brief stop in Howth_br/_ was a favorite with my sisters. Beautiful countryside everywhere you look.

Have been to Newgrange three times - which I strongly recommend if you are in the Dublin area. This tour was the best.

This was an amazing tour. Jerry was our guide and he was fabulous. He was funny and really took the time to make the trip enjoyable. The tomb at Newgrange is absolutely stunning. It is worth a trip to see. The Hill of Tara was very interesting and had a very cool Fairy Tree we were able to go look at, as well as the Rock of Destiny. The weather was extremely windy, but still worth the time to see these amazing pieces of history. I would recommend that you not miss this site and going with this tour was well worth it.

This tour was amazing our driver Eion was awesome so much historical knowledge was shared. Newgrange dated over 3000 year BC was a wow experience and the Hill of Tara, the historical events just blow me away. It was great craic as the Irish would say!! Would highly recommend, this is a must see. Eion was a lot of fun and made our day a truly memorable one !!!

The best thing was our bus driver Eoin, who was hilarious and indefatigably informative. He really went the extra mile and certainly has the gift of the gab._br/_ The Neolithic site of Newgrange was astonishing, and the Bronze Age remnants of Tara truly awe-inspiring.
Review by: Kristopher K, October 2017
Our tour guide was amazing and gave a good history of all the points that we stopped at. Loved this and would recommend to anyone. it was also nice that the tour wasn't rushed and really gave you time to see and enjoy the monuments.
Review by: David R, October 2017
Newgrange and Tara were both interesting sites. The trip to Howth was not a good fit. Just a waste of time for a pit stop.
Review by: Michelle F, October 2017
The trip was very enjoyable. Trev and Kev were a dynamic travel duo. They told us tales - tall and true. The weather was beautiful and showed off the countryside in all its splendour. Newgrange was fascinating. I would highly recommend this tour.
