I've done quite a bit of traveling, touring singly, in groups and on tours. The Newgrange Tour was by far the best tour I've ever taken. Mary Gibbons was amazing in her depth of knowledge of Newgrange and the Hill of Tara, her light-hearted yet dedicated guiding, and the smoothness of the whole day. The coach met us precisely at...

The tour guide, Mary was extremely knowledgeable about all the monuments/places we were visiting and provided a very in-depth history. I would even recommend this tour to the locals. We stopped at a... More

We booked this trip last minute (20:00 the night before) and still made it on the trip. Mary Gibbons is a very knowledgeable and entertaining tour guide, and the actual tour part of the trip was fantastic. We saw beautiful parts of the Irish countryside, and learned a great deal about history and architecture (but it wasn't boring!) We also... More

We took the tour to Tara Hill and Newgrange. It was fantastic. One of our top travel experiences ever. Mary Gibbons is both entertaining and a terrific fount of information on history and archeology. The Passage Tomb at Newgrange, which we were able to enter and receive a tour of, was one of the travel experiences of a lifetime. Don't... More

Went on the Newgrange and Hill of Tara tour and it was a great tour. Very well organized schedule and very educational. Mary provides you info about things/places during the whole tour and she knows tons about Newgrange and the Hill of Tara. They even offer wifi on the bus which is great!

This was by far the most informative and interesting tour we have ever taken. Mary Gibbons informed us at the beginning of the tour that it was gouing to be an archeological and historical tour and she had a serious and eloquent tone. Our tour started at 10:30 and as we were driving through the city of Dublin she gave... More

We took this tour because it was the best price of any tour that included entry to newgrange. You head out straight to newgrange from Dublin. Along the way Mary begins telling the history of Ireland going back 5,000 years. Soon we arrived at newgrange and got straight on the shuttle up to the site. The tour and site are... More

When I booked this tour, I had asked about the amount of walking since we had two people with walking issues. Mary assured me that there not be that much walking. Mary gave a great tour and tried to make sure the people with disabilities kept up. But it was a struggle. By the end, my friend was exhausted, but... More

I could tell she was very passionate about the history behind Newgrange and the Hill of Tara. It is a tour for people who actually want... More

This is a great tour for anyone who has an interest in sites of historic interest, Mary was extremely knowledgeable and was able to supply a comprehensive history and background of the areas we covered in the day long tour.
