This small-group day tour lasts about eight hours and starts at the Molly Malone statue in Dublin, where the guide meets the group. The tour travels by mini coach with a maximum of 29 people to the Boyne Valley, an area rich in prehistoric sites. The first main stop is Newgrange, a large Neolithic burial site aligned with the winter solstice and part of the Bru Na Boinne complex. Entrance fees for Newgrange and Bru Na Boinne are included. Between November 1 and March 1, Knowth is not accessible, so the visit to Bru Na Boinne is shorter during this period. After Bru Na Boinne, the tour continues to the Oldbridge Estate and the Battle of the Boyne Visitors Centre, where visitors can take a self-guided tour with an entry fee payable on site. The final stop is the Monasterboice Monastic Site, founded in the 5th century. Here, visitors see the remains of two 14th-century churches, a 28-metre tall round tower from the 10th century, and three 10th-century Celtic High Crosses, including the 5.5-metre Muiredach's High Cross with biblical carvings from both the Old and New Testaments. The tour includes a qualified guide and transportation by mini coach. Food, drinks, and hotel pickup or drop-off are not included. Rain gear is advised in bad weather, and bringing a camera is recommended.
