My experience on line with the tour group was excellent. I had many questions about details and they were answered promptly. Our tour guide Owen was fabulous. He was a wealth of information about Irish history and all things Irish. His car was very comfortable and he was as entertaining as helpful during the entire day. We have fond memories of an amazing tour. It was breathtaking to enter the tomb of Newgrange and hiking out to Fourknocks and going inside another passageway tomb was an experience to remember.

Perfect guide and a truly memorable trip :)
Owen accompanied me and my mother on a trip to discover the Boyne Valley and he was the absolute perfect companion. Not only was the journey exceptionally comfortable, but it was also made even better by our wonderful, engaging conversations on a wide variety of topics. It was such a pleasure to chat and exchange perspectives with him.
On top of that, Owen went above and beyond by kindly providing us with admission tickets to Newgrange burial site. If you are looking for a relaxing, warm and well-organized excursion with a fantastic guide, Owen is the best choice.

Fantastic Private Tour of Newgrange and the Boyne Valley!
My wife and I had a fantastic experience touring Newgrange and the Boyne Valley with Owen. He was incredibly knowledgeable, personable, and had a great sense of humor that made the entire day both informative and entertaining.
What we especially appreciated was his flexibility. He customized our itinerary based on the time we had available and the weather, making sure we got the most out of our day without ever feeling rushed.
We thoroughly enjoyed the experience and would highly recommend Owen to anyone visiting the area. We'd absolutely book another tour with him when we return to Ireland!

On the Bucket List When Visiting Ireland
If you are in Dublin, set aside a day to do the private tour of Newgrange & Boyne Valley - an UNESCO designated Neolithic site. Owen was an excellent tour guide and safe driver. Five stars!

Friendly, humorous and respectful guide
If looking for a friendly, humorous, and respectful guide, then Owen Mullan is the guy to help you understand the history and significance of the Boyne Valley. Our little group of three got the answer to all our questions. Highly recommended.

Superb trip to the Boyne valley and visit to Newgrange
Wonderful day trip from Dublin. Booked directly with Boyne Vally Tours. Our driver Owen picked us promptly at 8 and drove us to the Bru na Boinne visitor experience. He provided clear explanation of what to expect. The tour from the center was fantastic. How often do you get to enter a passage tomb built in 3200 BCE. Visiting both Newgrange and Knowth exceeded all expectations. Do not miss it. After the tour Owen met us and answered questions while we ate lunch and we planned the rest of the day. We chose a visit to the Hill of Shane and Monasterboice. Owen provided excellent commentary and was extremely knowledgeable besides being very friendly and affable. This tour was a highlight. There were just the two of us so we spent more per person but for us it was well worth it. Highly recommend and ask for Owen

Our guide, Owen, sets the gold standard. Ask for him.
Our guide, Owen, is in a class by himself. I have had guides in my travels for 40 years . Many have been excellent but Owen stands out. He is so interesting to talk with, smart, and knowledgeable

New Grange Private Tour
Owen was a fantastic guide and wealth of information on Ireland and its people. From the moment of pickup from our hotel to our tours to recommendations on the BEST steak place in Dublin, we enjoyed Owen as our guide. Very comfortable car and we felt very safe driving with Owen. Highly recommend the New Grange tour!

Great day with a great guide, absolute recommendation!
We were picked up very warmly by Owen and drove with him to Newgrange. During the car ride, Owen already told us a lot about Ireland. It was super informative and fun at the same time. In Newgrange itself, there were separate guides. We were totally thrilled with the great organization and were impressed by the monument. Afterward, Owen picked us up again and we also took a look at the Hill of Tara and the Hill of Slane. Here, too, Owen gave us a super tour.

Newgrange and more!
Owen is a great and friendly guid who took us to some impressive sites that we will not be forgetting. In addition to Newgrange, we visited the Hill of Slane and Monasterboice Monastic Site which are two sites that we would not have known about or gotten to on our own.
Owen also answered questions we have about Irish history and daily life. Fantastic experience and well worth the booking!
