Activity itinerary

Newgrange
  • 2h
  • Admission ticket not included
Newgrange is a special place that's been recognised by UNESCO as important as it holds immense historical value dating back to 3,200 BC. To visit, you need to get tickets ahead of time online because they follow a "first come, first served" rule. Once you've booked with us, we'll tell you how to get those tickets.
Hill of Tara
  • 1h
The Hill of Tara is famous for being where the High Kings of Ireland used to rule long ago. It was an important place for politics and religion around the time of Jesus. People thought the gods lived there and that it was a way to reach eternal happiness. People say that Saint Patrick, a famous figure, went there when he came to Ireland. While you're there, your guide will share stories about ancient Celtic Kings.
Four Knocks
  • 30m
If you have enough time, there's a chance you might visit Four Knocks. It's a different place you can see if you can't get tickets for Newgrange. Four Knocks is an old tomb that was built around 5000 years ago. Four Knocks has a short hallway that goes into a wide, pear-shaped room with three smaller rooms on the side. A long time ago, the roof was made of wood and supported by a centre pole. But in 1952, they put a concrete roof on it after digging there for 2 years.
Hill of Slane
  • 30m
Explore the historic Hill of Slane on our captivating tour. Nestled in County Meath, this site brims with ancient tales and breathtaking views. Known for its ties to Saint Patrick, who lit the Paschal fire here in defiance of the pagan King, the Hill of Slane is steeped in spiritual significance. As you ascend this gentle hill, you'll discover ruins of a friary founded in the 15th century, adding to its mystique. The panoramic vistas from the top encompass the Boyne Valley, a landscape dotted with antiquities. Immerse yourself in the beauty and legends of the Hill of Slane as our expert guide unveils its history during this memorable journey.
County Meath
  • 2h
As this is a private guided tour, your guide is flexible and will recommend adjustments to the itinerary based on your interests. If you spot something intriguing on the day and want to explore it, just let your guide know. They will accommodate your requests for you and your group. The tour typically lasts around six hours, but if you'd like to extend it, additional hours can be arranged for an extra fee. While Newgrange is a highlight with approximately 2 hours of exploration, the other activities on the list are optional and depend on available time. Our aim is to make your 6 hours in the Boyne Valley and County Meath fulfilling, and your guide will collaborate with you on the day to ensure you have a rewarding experience.
