  • Dublin Airport, Dublin, Ireland
  • Hill of Tara, Navan, Ireland
    Private guided tour of the Hill of Tara, a Celtic ceremonial site associated with kingship rituals. The summit of the hill is enclosed by a Iron Age Royal Enclosure known as the Fort of the Kings. There are two interlinked earthworks within the enclosure, Cormac’s House and the Royal Seat. In the middle of the Royal Seat is a standing stone known as the Lia Fáil (Stone of Destiny) at which the High Kings were crowned. According to legend when the true King held the stone, it would let out a screech that could be heard all over Ireland.
    60 minutes
  • Loughcrew Cairns, Oldcastle, Ireland
    Private guided tour of the 5000 year old Stone Age Cairns spread across the hills at Loughcrew. The Irish name for the site is Slieve na Caillaigh, which means "mountain of the hag". Legend has it that the monuments were created when a giant hag, striding across the land, dropped her cargo of large stones from her apron.
    60 minutes
  • Dowth Passage Tomb, Donore, Ireland
    Private guided tour of Dowth megalithic passage tomb. Dowth is the one of the three principal tombs of the Brú na Bóinne World Heritage Site. Although not as well-known, it compares in size to both Newgrange and Knowth. Like Newgrange, Dowth is aligned with the winter solstice. During this period in December, the setting sunlight penetrates the passage tomb and illuminates three stones within the central chamber.
    60 minutes
  • Fourknocks Passage Tomb, Stamullen, Ireland
    Private guided tour of Fourknocks tomb, a hidden gem, located just outside the village of Ardcath, Co. Meath. It derives its name from the Irish, Fuair Cnoic or ‘cold hills.’ The mound was built around 5,000 years ago, a similar timeline to both the Newgrange and Knowth tombs. Whilst Fourknocks is too far north to have a solar alignment, it is however aligned with the path of the winter solstice sunrise towards Newgrange. During stone age times, the passage tomb was aligned with the helical rising of the ‘W’ shaped constellation of Cassiopeia, perhaps accounting for the dominance of ‘W’ shaped zig zag engravings.

Michael Fox is an expert in all things Boyne Valley. From the moment he picked my friend and I up at our hotel…to depositing us back there at the end of the day…we were entranced by the streams of entertaining and historical facts about the area. Michael is a gentleman, in every way. He was very attentive, supportive and generous with his time. I kept a slower pace and sometimes benefited from his arm to lean on…to help me balance on slippery slopes and slick muddy areas. That arm was there…even before I thought to reach for it. I am especially grateful for the extra time we had with him on the second day. Thank you, Michael. You are a jewel in the crown of Ireland. I would give Michael a 12++

We spent a wonderful day with Michael touring the Boyne Valley. His passion for the area is obvious and we found it extremely informative and interesting. He is great at tailoring the tour to meet our needs, and went with the flow when we wanted to get some fish and chips for lunch ????. It was a very relaxing day as he thinks of everything and was always attuned to our needs…for instance noticing when our coats and scarves were getting caught on brambles. The thing that stood out, other than his deep knowledge and reverence for the area’s sacred sites, was his kindness. We had unexpectedly not been able to hire a car due to a license issue and he immediately offered to drive us the next day to our next destination as he had a free day. He really went above and beyond, and treated us as new friends rather than a transaction. If you’re touring the Boyne Valley I would highly recommend Boyne Valley Tours…you will be in excellent hands. Thank you again, Michael, for all the things, seen and unseen, you did to make this a day we will remember forever.
