Our guide great - Dara (wrong spelling) Was knowledgeable about our sites. Loved Trim Castle, and Slane Monastery. Newgrange was awesome and the Hill Of Tara was worth the visit. I also liked that we only had a small van instead of a bus. I would recommend this tour guide and tour company Hilltoptreks. Also under the visit multiple choice - think you need a couple of more choices. It was my daughter and myself on this trip to Ireland so had to check the friends box

Tour guide was very knowledgeable, pick up at the set location via a small passenger van Expect to spend a lot of time in the van traveling The promoted castle tour is misleading as you're limited on time and the ticket does NOT include access to the inside of the castle, you're limited to walking the exterior grounds. Last stop was the biggest site, however we only were able to park on the side of the road and view the attraction from over a hedge
