Miriam, our tour guide, was just lovely. We had several stops and learned so much about the history and culture. The actual tour of New Grange was fascinating.
The perfect trip to the Boyne Valley historical sites, Newgrange, Knowth, Monasterboice and Hill of Slane

My guide Miriam was class the entire day, and it was a long one. She was incredibly kind, professional, knowledgeable and genuinely warm and friendly. I had the finest experience on tour with her today and I can not think of one thing she could've been better at. I was as comfortable as I've ever been on a tour and the places she took me to and information she provided at each site was spectacular. I will always remember her wonderful tour today and can honestly say that she made my trip to Ireland worth it. A more knowledgeable or kindhearted guide you could not hope for. I'd give her more than 5 stars if Trip Advisor allowed for it.
Fantastic

Noel was our guide and what a find he was, lifelong Dubliner he knew more that we needed to know about everything we were interested in. Patient, informative and engaging, he took us through the Hill of Tara that perfectly dove tailed into new grange which was awesome. Highly recommend him but the company is also awesome, their guides are great!

Miriam was a super guide. My daughter and I enjoyed the day immensely. The vistas of Boyne valley were incredible. A bonus side trip to a local craft shop was delightful.
Wonderful

Miriam was on top of it. She had knowledge about every place we went and there was never a lack in conversation. She was easy to speak with and I totally enjoyed myself as we drove out and about.

We booked a tour of Newgrange for a family group of 4 adults and 3 kids. and Noel with Irish Tours 365 picked us up at our hotel in Dublin & drove us to Newgrange. He waited about 3 hours while we did the tour and then drove us back to our hotel. It was much more relaxing than taking the train or driving ourselves would have been I’d definitely recommend this service!
What a great time - and Noel was the best!

Our tour guide was Noel and he was fabulous! As others have said, he is fun, easy going, incredibly knowledgeable, and just an absolute joy to tour with. Newgrange is a must see - especially actually entering the burial chamber, which was a don’t-miss experience. We opted to see the ruins at Slane rather than going to the Hill of Tara, since we had heard the crowds there could be a little overwhelming, and were so glad we did. We had Slane all to ourselves! Noel shared the stories of St Patrick and his time there, and he made the place come alive. We are so glad we chose this tour, and HIGHLY recommend Noel and the Newgrange/Hill of Tara tour. Go - you will love it!
