On the Bucket List When Visiting Ireland - If you are in Dublin, set aside a day to do the private tour of Newgrange & Boyne Valley - an UNESCO designated Neolithic site. Owen was an excellent tour guide and safe driver. Five stars!

Friendly, humorous and respectful guide - If looking for a friendly, humorous, and respectful guide, then Owen Mullan is the guy to help you understand the history and significance of the Boyne Valley. Our little group of three got the answer to all our questions. Highly recommended.

Superb trip to the Boyne valley and visit to Newgrange - Wonderful day trip from Dublin. Booked directly with Boyne Vally Tours. Our driver Owen picked us promptly at 8 and drove us to the Bru na Boinne visitor experience. He provided clear explanation of what to expect. The tour from the center was fantastic. How often do you get to enter a passage tomb built in 3200 BCE. Visiting both Newgrange and Knowth exceeded all expectations. Do not miss it. After the tour Owen met us and answered questions while we ate lunch and we planned the rest of the day. We chose a visit to the Hill of Shane and Monasterboice. Owen provided excellent commentary and was extremely knowledgeable besides being very friendly and affable. This tour was a highlight. There were just the two of us so we spent more per person but for us it was well worth it. Highly recommend and ask for Owen

Our guide, Owen, sets the gold standard. Ask for him. - Our guide, Owen, is in a class by himself. I have had guides in my travels for 40 years . Many have been excellent but Owen stands out. He is so interesting to talk with, smart, and knowledgeable

New Grange Private Tour - Owen was a fantastic guide and wealth of information on Ireland and its people. From the moment of pickup from our hotel to our tours to recommendations on the BEST steak place in Dublin, we enjoyed Owen as our guide. Very comfortable car and we felt very safe driving with Owen. Highly recommend the New Grange tour!

Great day with a great guide, absolute recommendation! - We were picked up very warmly by Owen and drove with him to Newgrange. During the car ride, Owen already told us a lot about Ireland. It was super informative and fun at the same time. In Newgrange itself, there were separate guides. We were totally thrilled with the great organization and were impressed by the monument. Afterward, Owen picked us up again and we also took a look at the Hill of Tara and the Hill of Slane. Here, too, Owen gave us a super tour.

Newgrange and more! - Owen is a great and friendly guid who took us to some impressive sites that we will not be forgetting. In addition to Newgrange, we visited the Hill of Slane and Monasterboice Monastic Site which are two sites that we would not have known about or gotten to on our own. Owen also answered questions we have about Irish history and daily life. Fantastic experience and well worth the booking!

Outstanding visit to this world class historic site with a wonderful tour guide! Highly recommend Owen! - Our family loved our visit to this world heritage site with Owen of Newgrange Tours. It was an amazing experience to visit one of the oldest human building sites in the world (older than the Pyramids!) So easy to access from Dublin. Newgrange Tours made everything easy — including buying the hard to get tickets ahead so we didn’t have to worry about securing (you can only buy 30 days ahead and they sell out immediately). Our guide, Owen was lovely - the best of Irish hospitality. He also has a beautiful touring car that was well appointed and very luxurious and comfortable. We also really enjoyed Owen’s insights and historical knowledge that he shared on the easy one hour drive from Dublin and back. We learned so much from Owen and the tours! Don’t miss this if you are in the Dublin area.

Incredible Experience! - This was the best experience we had during our entire visit to Ireland. Owen is an expert tour guide and conversationalist; we found ourselves learning more about Irish history and culture than we could've imagined. The tour itself is so well thought out and planned, that you have a full day of experiences without ever feeling rushed or over-scheduled. I recommend this tour (and Owen specifically), with full confidence that you will have a wonderful time.
