Day Tours out of Dublin

Private Day Tours from Dublin to scenic County Wicklow, including the monastic settlement founded in the 6th century by St Kevin at Glendalough, a scenic drive through the Wicklow Mountains and Avoca Village, home of Avoca Handweavers.

Private Day Tours from Dublin to the Boyne Valley, including Newgrange and Knowth UNESCO World Heritage sites, Monasterboice with its round tower and high crosses, the Hill of Tara, seat of the High Kings of Ireland, and Trim Castle, the largest Anglo Norman castle in Ireland. A typical day north of Dublin balances Brú na Bóinne with time for one or two further stops, so you see the monuments at a steady pace without rushing back to the city. When Newgrange and Knowth are included, we arrange the official timed tickets on your behalf.

Specialist Private Tours to Celtic sites such as the Hill of Tara and the Hill of Ward, Megalithic sites such as Newgrange, Dowth, Fourknocks and Loughcrew, and early Monastic sites including Monasterboice, Mellifont Abbey and Bective Abbey. These themed days suit visitors who already know the main highlights, or who prefer to follow one thread through the landscape: kingship and mythology, Stone Age passage tombs, or early Christian Ireland.

A Bespoke tour can be arranged to suit your interests and pace. That might mean ancestral places, gardens and country houses, film locations, quieter archaeological sites, or a mix of Boyne Valley and Wicklow when you have a longer day ashore. Tell us what matters most and we shape the route around your group, walking comfort, and pickup point in Dublin.
