★★ I walk with a cane, and... I walk with a cane, and the driver took one look at me and told me to go on a different tour. I finally convinced him to let me on the bus. The terrain turned out to be manageable for me. I’m glad I didn’t listen to him. This driver ruined my day.SALLY D · 2026-09-23 · via Viator
★★★★★ Fun ancient sites tour Lots of things to see on this tour. Had a blast. Loved hearing all the stories and myths about these ancient sites. Would definitely recommend!kelly n · 2026-09-19 · via Viator
★★★★★ Really great tour to some lessor known sites We really enjoyed this day trip to the Boyne Valley. Our driver and guide was Callum and he was really knowledgeable and a great driver. Our favourite stop was the cairns and the lunch spot was excellent too. Perhaps consider offering another tour to the Boyne Valley that includes Newgrange and Battle of the Boyne as we would be interested in that.Courtney W · 2026-09-15 · via Viator
★★★★★ Loved this tour! Great tour, and our guide was a fantastic storyteller! I’m impressed with his ability to drive the bus in crazy traffic but talk to us at the same time in such a calm and funny manner! Wear good walking/hiking shoes and bring rain gear just in case. Each stop was interesting and fun. 10/10 would recommend!Shannon B · 2026-09-14 · via Viator
