Newgrange is a must see from Dublin! - This is the only way to visit these sites without a car from Dublin, so well worth the experience. Loved Newgrange so much, so mystical and educational. Our guide Kevin was great, personality plus, professional, and informative.

Newgrange tour - Kevin was fantastic. Newgrange has a very good visitor center. Take time to do the walk thru. There are pictures of the excavation, surrounding area & videos of the different structures & what life for the people during the timeframe of Newgrange. Small groups are taken inside the structure by a guide. The guide provided excellent info on the structure & did a demo of the solstice. The cafe has a variety of sandwiches & drinks. The gift shop has a great selection of items. Excellent staff.

Hidden Gem of Ireland! Must see in my book! - Simply amazing site. Predates Stonehenge and the Pyramids! In my opinion much more impressive than Stonehenge. However I must say that for the first time I was not impressed with a Viator tour guide. I happened to go on this tour about six months ago. That tour guide was fabulous. Incredibly thorough and knowledgeable. I got off on the wrong foot immediately with the tour guide I had last week. My party arrived TWO minutes after the meeting time and he was no where to be found! On past Viator tours it seemed that the tour guides waited five maybe ten minutes after start time checking people off as they arrived. I even saw other tour guides call latecomers to see if they were still coming. But two two minutes after start time and he was gone. Luckily due to experience I knew that the bus actually departed around the corner. I literally had to run around the corner and stand in front of the bus as he was starting to pull out and wait until my guests rounded the corner. So I was not at all happy boarding the bus. As I said my Viator tour guide 6 months ago could not be better. On the drive to New Grange he was regularly providing interesting historical facts. AND he gave us a ton of facts on what we would expect upon arrival. Where we should walk to meet the next guide, the importance of the wrist band, rights and wrongs regarding behavior, etc. There were no surprises ahead! This time the tour guide hardly said a word on the drive. When we left the bus we were totally left to our own devices to find the guides. And he simply was not very knowledgeable on the subject. At a burial ground and then ruins that we later stopped at he simply opened the bus door and told us how much time we had to walk around. The past tour guide provided us with ample background on what we were about to see. I literally found myself having to impart interesting tidbits to my friends from memory of the last tour. It was really a shame because this guy was no where near the quality of my past Viator guides. Honestly, not to beat a dead horse, but I considered this guy to be nothing more than a bus driver rather than a quality Viator tour guide …

Beautiful and moving! - This was an amazing tour! Not only beautiful but very moving and spiritual! Kevin was a great tour guide and kept us engaged the whole time. The Newgrange guides were so thorough! We loved it and will be back to see the other sites when it’s in-season.

Second trip to Newgrange - It was raining heavily so that was a bit rough as obviously the tour is primarily outside, but this tour is well worth it. I have been to Newgrange before, but it is always outstanding. I do recommend this tour even with bad weather.

Great Experience - Highly Recommend - We had a great experience on this tour. Richard was our driver and tour guide. He was great! It was well organized, informative and timed perfectly. We were able to do so much in a single day and not having to drive ourselves was a highlight.
