Celtic Boyne Valley & Ancient Sites Day Tour From Dublin

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 865 reviews · 10 hours (approx.) · from $84Our pick

Explore Ireland’s Boyne Valley from Dublin, with Tara, Trim Castle, Loughcrew Cairns, Fore Abbey, countryside views, and a distillery stop.

“Read the descriptions closely - there's lots of walking on this tour. Specifically, lots of uphill walking to Loughcrew Cairns (which means lots of slippery downhill walking, too). Beautiful scenery - a great look at ancient Ireland. If anything, I'd want more time at Trim Castle and less time at the distillery.”

“Simply amazing site. Predates Stonehenge and the Pyramids! In my opinion much more impressive than Stonehenge. However I must say that for the first time I was not impressed with a Viator tour guide. I happened to go on this tour about six months ago. That tour guide was fabulous. Incredibly thorough and knowledgeable. I got off on the wrong foot immediately with the tour guide I had last week. My party arrived TWO minutes after the meeting time and he was no where to be found! On past Viator tours it seemed that the tour guides waited five maybe ten minutes after start time checking people off as they…”

“Trim castle was great! Unfortunately, we were unable to complete the main part of the tour (New Grange) because we were not told we needed to book tickets in advance. Everything else was OK. Also, the distillery was closed. Although our driver was great, this tour was definitely not worth the cost. I would not trust Viator again for any tours I take.”

“We had a wonderful day with Gerry. He picked us up at our hotel on time and showed us all the wonders of the Boyne Valley. We even managed to get access to the inner chamber at Newgrange thanks to him. The whole day went above and beyond our expectations. Definitely the best way to see the ancient monasteries and ceremonial sites in one comprehensive day.”
