Fantastic views of Wicklow Mtns on horesback

Linda, our driver & guide, was great! Very friendly and shared lots of fun info on the ride throughout. Ella and Joe at the stables were really helpful and patient getting us all setup, but once we started the views were just stunning! Back in the van, the tour through the mountains offered spectacular views with several photo stops before reaching Glendalough. The town and 2 lakes didn’t disappoint either! Highly recommend!

Fascinating and enjoyable

This was a great trip. Newgrange and Knowth are fascinating Neolithic sites and the Boyne Valley is steeped in history. The driver and tour guide Matt is funny, informative, a master story teller and a skilful guide. The whole trip was enjoyable and went off like clockwork.

An Amazing Excursion

Review of Dublin to Newgrange, Monasterboice Small Group Guided Tours. This excursion was amazing. Standing in a structure at Newgrange 5,000 years old was surreal. All three stops were so beautiful and interesting. Our guide, Matt, was so knowledgeable, funny, and a safe driver. Listening to Irish music on the way back to Dublin was a nice touch. Don't pass this excursion up.

Walking Holiday in Ireland

It was a really fantastic and unforgettable nine days round trip from Dublin to Galway including celebrating even two birthdays! Terry was amazing and legendary, he showed us the most beautiful places and entertained us with Irish stories, music and songs. So, we will be back definitely! BIG THANKS to Hilltoptreks and Terry from the Croatian hiking group!
