Curious about Ireland’s ancient secrets?
Hill of Tara
This was the seat of Ireland's Ancient High Kings, and they have left behind historic monuments that each tell a story of their own. The lush, green surroundings are just as charming today as they would have been in the days of the Ard Rí kings.
Trim Castle
Of all Ireland's many castles, this is among the largest and best preserved. The medieval walls of the castle sit alongside charming and well maintained gardens. At 11:50 AM, we're turning back the clock even further with a visit to Loughcrew Tombs, where megalithic cairns have stood for 5,000 years.
Fore Distillery-Fore Abbey
Fore Distillery is delighted to invite visitors behind the scenes for an exclusive look at the craftsmanship behind Fore Valley spirits. Guests will experience the art of distillation, enjoy a guided tasting, and immerse themselves in the rich history of this remarkable location. Although the original seventh-century monastery founded by St. Fechin is no longer standing, the remaining church ruins date back to as early as 900 AD.

BEVERLY
The day trip to Boyne Valley was amazing! Our guide really knew his stuff and provided us with the most interesting informations regarding Dublin City and its surroundings. Seeing landmarks that are older than the Giza Pyramids was breathtaking! The bus was comfortable, clean and warm. The guide also organised lunch to all the visitors during the visit, which was very handy! He was a smooth driver, concerned about our safety throughout the whole trip. I couldn’t recommend this trip enough!
ROBERTA
Absolutely fantastic tour. Our guide (Brendan) was wonderful. Best stops, in my opinion, were Trim Castle and Loughcrew.
