Fantastic day with Gerry
We had a wonderful day with Gerry. He picked us up at our hotel on time and showed us all the wonders of the Boyne Valley. We even managed to get access to the inner chamber at Newgrange thanks to him. The whole day went above and beyond our expectations. Definitely the best way to see the ancient monasteries and ceremonial sites in one comprehensive day.
Response from the operator: Daniel, thank you for the excellent review. It’s really appreciated. I’ll keep that sweat shirt safe for your return!😎 Thanks again Slán go foill Ger Healy

Amazing Trip
What a great trip! Gerry is a great driver and we got to see some locals only off the beaten path spots. We also did a trip with him in August 2022 that was multi-day. Fantastic trip of a lifetime! Highly recommend
Response from the operator: Thank you for your great review. It is very much appreciated. Tours are always a pleasure when your in good company!

When a Guide becomes a Friend
We met Gerry on a recent tour to Ireland. It was our first time to the Emerald Isle and we wanted to maximize the experience without having to manage the challenges of navigating a new destination - Gerry made this possible with much, much more. We met Gerry through Wild Way Tours where he was our driver and tour guide for close to 10 days. As a native of Ireland, Gerry knows the country like the back of his hand and he was excited to share all he knew with us. We explored many destinations from Dublin to Galway, down through County Cork. Gerry made every experience unforgettable. The stress of navigating a new destination was avoided, replaced by discovery of hidden treasures that only locals like Gerry know. In addition to serving as our designated driver to bars like Sean’s Pub in Athlone, Gerry allowed us to explore the island like a local. From breathtaking views of the Cliffs of Mother (not the tour company views) to hidden pubs, restaurants and castles we were able to EXPERIENCE Ireland. We became friends with Gerry along the way, enjoying his quick wit, adventurous demeanor, and LOVE of sweets (I never saw someone eat gummy worms like Gerry). Needless to say, we will be returning to Ireland SOON, with Gerry as our Guide for Round Two.
Response from the operator: Greg Thank you so much for the great review. I'm looking forward to see you and Susan again for The Open. See you soon but you won't see me eating those gummy worms anymore! ;) Gerry

Why this scores 53
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Dublin Full-Day Tour through Boyne Valley: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Dublin.
How much does Dublin Full-Day Tour through Boyne Valley cost?
+
Prices start at $899 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Dublin usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Dublin Full-Day Tour through Boyne Valley take?
+
Plan for about 6 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Dublin is not rushed.
Is Dublin Full-Day Tour through Boyne Valley worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 53 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 3 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Dublin, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Dublin Full-Day Tour through Boyne Valley?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Dublin Full-Day Tour through Boyne Valley suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 6-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Dublin Full-Day Tour through Boyne Valley?
+
Around 1 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Dublin can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Dublin and add a light layer if any part of the 6-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Dublin Full-Day Tour through Boyne Valley start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Dublin within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Dublin?
+
On Outty we rank every Dublin experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Dublin to Cliffs of Moher, including Wild Atlantic Way and Galway, Dublin Highlights and Hidden Gems Guided Walking Tour, The Little Museum of Dublin Famous Guided Tour. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Dublin?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Dublin?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
