Overview

My name is Owen and I would like to tell you why my tour of the beautiful Boyne Valley is unique.

I am a fully qualified tour guide who lives with my family in a town called Drogheda, located at the heart of the Boyne Valley. My local knowledge of the area gives me a unique advantage as a tour guide.

I have a passion for storytelling and I use this to make the history and heritage of the sites in the Boyle Valley come alive, so that my guests can fully understand and appreciate our wonderful past.

My Private tour is luxury and bespoke.

Guests are chauffeured throughout the Boyne Valley in my beautiful jaguar limousine. An advantage of a private tour is that it is flexible. We can go at a pace that suits our guests and can change the itinerary if needs be.

After spending a great day together our guests will be chauffeured to their hotel. We will have only spent a short time together but I hope they will have enjoyed that time and have some wonderful memories that last a lifetime.

Activity itinerary

Hill of Tara
  • 45m
The Hill of Tara was once the ancient seat of the High Kings of Ireland, and today the series of Neolithic burial mounds and tombs offer stunning views across County Meath. As one of the most historic and mythical places in Ireland, a trip to this beautiful area is sure to be an eye-opening experience. This is your chance to explore the archaeological sites, take in the breathtaking views of the mountains of Mourne and learn about the Celtic rituals which stretch back into early Christianity.
Monasterboice Monastic Site
  • 45m
This fascinating monastic site in County Louth was founded in the 5th century by Saint Buite, and the historic ruins were once an important religious centre. Monasterboice has a rich and colourful history and was once captured by invading Vikings, who were then pushed out of the area by the High King of Tara. Although the original monastery is no longer standing, the 3 Celtic High Crosses, are widely regarded as some of the finest examples of early Christian crosses, with scenes depicted of the Old Testament and unusual crucifixions.
Hill of Slane
  • 45m
A place of significant importance for Christianity in Ireland, the Hill of Slane is the site where, according to the legend, in 433 AD Saint Patrick lit the first paschal fire in direct defiance of the pagan king Laoghaire who was celebrating the feast day on the nearby Hill of Tara, then the seat of the High King of Ireland. Back then, it was forbidden to light any other fire until a ceremonial lighting of a great fire on the Hill of Tara was over. While exploring the ruins of a 16th Century Franciscan monastery and tower you will be treated to some of the most spectacular views of the surrounding countryside.
Trim Castle
  • 45m
  • Admission ticket not included
Few places in Ireland contain more medieval buildings than the heritage town of Trim, once the medieval capital of Ireland. Trim Castle is the largest Anglo-Norman castle in Ireland, and with its monumental three-story keep and 20-sided tower, it is a truly impressive symbol of Norman glory. Hugh de Lacy and his successors took 30 years to build it. The castle is also known as King John’s Castle. When he visited the town he preferred to stay in his tent on the other side of the river. Today, visitors are able to look down into the interior of the keep via modern walkways which weave their way through this vast castle. Other medieval sites in Trim include St. Mary`s Abbey - a Franciscan abbey built in 1368 -, and Ireland`s oldest bridge, standing strong since the early 13th Century.
