“Wonderful Tour” Michael arranged a marvelous full day tour of Boyne Valley for us. Besides the Neolithic sites of Newgrange, Knowth and Dowth, which were a must for us, he included Mellifont Abbey, several High Irish Crosses and a fascinating image called

Sheela-na-gig. He picked us up and dropped us off at our hotel. And arranged for the tickets ahead. Michael is a professional guide with incredible knowledge of the Boyne Valley. This is truly the only way to see this historic area. Highly recommended.

Learning moments throughout history I traveled to Ireland with my son. We both wanted to see the megalithic structures along with other historic sites.   Michael was a an incredible host and provided so much history and lore to the sites we visited.  We learned about the abbeys, Celtic crosses, castles, passage tombs and many other topics.  We started the day promptly at 08:00 and finished with an amazing sunset on the Hill of Tara.

Thank you Michael for the learning moments and enjoyable day spent making memories.

“An amazing tour covering thousands of years of history in one pleasant day.” Fáilte is Irish for Welcome and is something that Michael exudes. From the friendly handshake to start the day until the he waved goodbye at the end you feel welcome to be in Ireland and on the tour.

We started my heading to the Boyne’s neolithic headliners: Knouth and Newgrange. On our drive up from Dublin we talked and Michael rearranged the itinerary on the fly to accommodate our wish to see the sea coast.

All through the day Michael was a source of interesting conversation on an amazing variety of topics and he made the tour fun and informative.

By the end of the day we had seen the Neolithic sites, Drogheda, Trim Castle, the Hill of Tara, and the Bective Abbey. It was a full day.

I would recommend Boyne Valley Tours to anyone visiting Ireland to get a grounding in Irelands rich history.

I highly recommend Boyne Valley Tours as a wonderful way to see many historical sites of the Boyne Valley. Michael is a fabulous and extremely knowledgeable tour guide.

He picked us up and dropped us off at our hotel in Dublin.

We spent our morning at Newgrange and Knowth, followed by a lovely lunch. 

Knowth and Newgrange are Neolithic passage timbs and ancient monuments of the World Heritage Site of Brú na Bóinne located 8.4 km west of Drogheda in Ireland's valley of the River Boyne.

In the afternoon we saw the Hill of Slane, Slane Castle, Monasterboice Tower and High Crosses, Fourknocks, finishing with the magical site of the Hill of Tara.

It was a lovely and informative day that Michael created for us.				<img src="https://media-cdn.tripadvisor.com/media/photo-s/29/49/a5/c4/full-day-irelands-ancient.jpg" class="wprev_media_img"  alt="media thumbnail 0"><img src="https://media-cdn.tripadvisor.com/media/photo-s/29/49/a5/cb/full-day-irelands-ancient.jpg" class="wprev_media_img"  alt="media thumbnail 1"><img src="https://media-cdn.tripadvisor.com/media/photo-s/29/49/a5/d3/full-day-irelands-ancient.jpg" class="wprev_media_img"  alt="media thumbnail 2"><img src="https://media-cdn.tripadvisor.com/media/photo-s/29/49/a6/91/full-day-irelands-ancient.jpg" class="wprev_media_img"  alt="media thumbnail 3">

Incredible, Wonderful, Must Do Tour My family and I went on the Castles and Abbeys tour with Michael. Michael was wonderful with communicating before the tour. His knowledge of the area was impressive, to say the least. We went to visit many different historical sites that he explained in depth. He extended the tour to include a neolithic cairn that is in the area that was another local spot where you really had to know who to ask about getting in. He answered all of our questions thoroughly. He brought us to an amazing lunch spot that was clearly a local favorite. We are so thankful for Michael for providing this tour. There was no way we would be able to see all those sites or have a quarter of the knowledge and historical significance of the sites without him. Thank you Michael for the amazing and magical day!
