Private escorted chauffeur driven tours of Boyne Valley / Malahide Castle
On this unforgettable tour you’ll dive deep into the ancient origins of European culture and Ireland’s role as the land of the setting sun.
Sit back and relax in your luxury chauffeur-driven car, leaving the bustle of Dublin far behind as you travel north towards the Boyne Valley, the hub of Irish heritage.
Begin by taking in the wonders of Newgrange, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. This must-see attraction is a complex of megalithic tombs dating back to the Neolithic period.
Your tour, your way.
The Boyne Valley is at the heart of Ireland’s myths and legends. Your driver will regale you with these vivid tales as you drive through the lush landscape, explaining how each one contributes to 21st century Ireland.
Choose from two possible onward routes:
1. Early Christian landmarks: Continue to Monasterboice to explore the magnificent stone High Crosses and then onto the ruins of Ireland’s first Cistercian Abbey at Mellifont. A return via Drogheda and the coastline makes for a memorable finish.
2. Slane Castle and Distillery, home of Lord Henry Mountcharles. Visit one of the most innovative distilleries in Ireland and experience the remarkable revival in Irish whiskey (tours of the castle are also possible). End the day on a high note with a relaxing stroll on Hill of Tara.
Other attractions of the Boyne Valley include Loughcrew Megalithic site, Trim Castle and Bective Abbey. Or lean into your driver’s knowledge and allow yourself to be whisked away to a hidden gem of a thatched pub or a secret beach.
In a nutshell - This is The Royal County – and oh the stories you’ll hear!
