Brú na Bóinne

Best thing we did in Ireland. Highly recommend! The site and the whole experience was fantastic. Our tour guides were amazing, too. The opportunity to enter the ancient tunnel and go 20 meters in to the central room and burial chambers was unforgettable. It’s a mystery with many questions left unanswered. There’s also dozens of Neolithic/Megalithic art carvings in stone surrounding the tombs. Visitors centre was great. Loved it all!! A must see IMHO 👀 Enjoy!!

We did this at the end of our trip, after seeing a lot of sites. It was still incredible. We prebooked tickets the second the window opened, and sellout happens quickly, so be sure to act like these are concert tickets. We went at 930. Drove up from Dublin. We took the 3 hour tour, which seemed like a long time on paper and was actually perfect. The tour is well arranged. The guides are nice. A moderate amount of stairs and hills. In Newgrange, I was got scared at how tiny the tunnel was and turned around. The guide on the outside said that I should try again because it opens up reall big after that spot. I did. He was right, and I am so glad he convinced me. This is a must experience.

Both Newgrange and Knowth stunning. Took the longer tour and were not disappointed. The place is well maintained and we were well informed about the history. Our guide at Knowth was Ben and he was truly great! He was very friendly and answered all the questions our Group had. Appreciated a lot of time we had there, Newgrange was more in and out, but also great and very interesting details provided. Recommending this UNESCO place for sure! We booked online couple weeks before our Ireland trip and all went super smooth. There is also very nice exhibition in Visitor centre included.

Highly recommend the Knowth + Newgrange tour! Fascinating seeing the Neolithic monuments!

Unfortunately, Brú na Bóinne was closed when we visited, and as not-so-well-informed tourists, we didn’t realize there wasn’t much to see from the official entrance. But we didn’t give up! We found a nearby road and a small hill that gave us a great angle to take some nice photos. So even if you can’t get inside, the area still offers a bit of magic—just takes a little exploring

I wish we had checked the website better so we had known that it's absolutely necessary to book your tickets in advance to go here... All tickets to go inside the New Grange monument were just sold out right before us... So we could only do the tour around New Grange. Although I must say that this tour was definitely worth it, our guide was amazing. Very informative and fun tour!!!

Magical neolithic site ! You have to book the tickets in advance. Highly recommend !

One of the workers at the front desk entrance needs to have some more training on customer service. She was completely rude and out of line in the way she acted and with the tone and which she spoke to us. My father was speaking to my brother about tickets and who was going before she began to speak and then she began to speak but before that she said if you would be quiet and let me talk you can talk later. First of all my dad was not talking over here and not even talking to her he and my brother where behind me and my mother and brother. Second of all you never ever in customer service tell a customer to be quiet and let me talk in the tone she did. She was saying it a rude and snarky tone almost like she was telling us to shut up. I have been in customer service managing staff for over 3 years and this is something I would never dare do to a customer and would never allow from my staff to do. Either she needs more customer service training to fix habits like this or she needs to be moved to a position less customer facing. Other than the women at the front the rest of the experience was great. Being able to go in and see the heritage site was a surreal experience. The tour guides at both sites where amazing. They turned a bad first impression into a memorable experience.
