Great Day Trip From Dublin to Newgrange - 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!

Highly recommend - Miriam was a fantastic tour guide: informative, fun, and friendly. She even grabbed a croissant for us for a snack so we would have more time to explore. We had a great time and learned a lot. Would highly recommend.

I felt welcomed - Miriam was my driver for this day and she was so kind. She went above and beyond and really made sure to make me feel welcomed. She took some excellent photos she shared with me and the chocolate croissant was delicious.
Noel was so helpful too helping me book everything and he even made sure that he booked a Newgrange tour early to make sure I would have a ticket.
The ancient valley of Boyne was just so amazing. I really don’t have words for how it was. Definitely go and please use these guys. They are gonna make your trip better.

Great Private Tour of an Amazing Newgrange! Don't miss it! - Miriam was a wonderful tour guide - prompt and friendly! Her intros to Newgrange and the Hill of Slane & Abbey were educational and interactive. The Newgrange tour is done with Newgrange staff and Miriam secured our tickets and organized all the day's plans.
We were able to spend time at this amazing place as well as visit the beautiful Hill of Slane & Abbey ruins. Miriam explained all of the history and details. Photos were great! We did not go to the Hill of Tara. Preferred the Abbey ruins instead.

Perfect Custom Tour - Noel was a fantastic guide who customized a VIP day tour, picking us up at our front door in Dublin to visit medieval and ancient sites to fit our entry time to Bru na Boinne / Newgrange center. Instead of the Hill of Tara, we went to the Hill of Slane and Monasterboice at our request.
He is a friendly and knowledgeable guide. We were amazed at the sites, and pretty much had them to ourselves. Noel was great at suggesting photo settings, and took several shots of us that we will keep for years to come of these stunning places. Noel let our own curiosity lead the way with each stop.
On top of all that, he gave us a great recommend to a Dublin pub and eating establishment where, after our drop off, we then enjoyed a dinner and a pint with more locals than tourists, for a great price! He became our local insider.
Highly recommend! I will definitely be booking another tour with this group when I return to Ireland.

Outstanding experience with Noel of Irishtours365 - I was traveling with my wife and 4 friends and we started our discovery of Ireland with Noel of Irishtours365. What a way to start! Noel was our driver/guide and he was everything you could ask for. He was prompt, knowledgeable, friendly, helpful and patient. All 5 of us fit very comfortably into this clean, spacious van and he guided us on a tour of Newgrange and the Hill of Slane. We found both places fascinating. I particularly enjoyed exploring the ruins of the Hill of Slane where Saint Patrick is said to have lit the paschal fire, bringing Christianity to Ireland. Noel was entertaining and informative and I highly recommend his services.

A wonderful tour with Miriam!! - Miriam was such a wonderful tour guide! I cannot recommend her enough! Her car was super clean, her driving perfect and her knowledge of Ireland made the day so fun and interesting. She made an extra stop to get ice cream - some of the best ice cream topping I’ve ever had.
I wouldn’t hesitate to have her take us on another tour. She was so kind and personable. Cannot recommend her enough!
