Oldbridge Estate/Battle of the Boyne Visitors Centre
The Battle of the Boyne in 1690 was the deciding battle not just for the ruling class in Ireland but also in Britain and Europe. It explains the troubles of Northern Ireland and why it is celebrated each year on July 12th by the Loyalist community. It was a battle that would eventually lead to displacement of Irish Celts and their culture throughout the Island of Ireland. It was also a battle for the Throne of England between the catholic King James II and the Protestant King of Holland (William of Orange). You may decide to do the self Guided Tour - Pay at Entry.

Monasterboice Monastic Site
Mainistir Bhuithe – “ monastery of Buithe” is the 5th century monastic site founded by St Buithe. The site includes the remains of two churches built in the 14th century and a Round Tower from the 10th century, but it is most famous for its Celtic High Crosses. The round tower is about 28 metres tall, and is in very good condition. It was likely built shortly after 968 and damaged in a fire in 1098. The three high crosses date from the 10th century and form part of the scriptural group (showing biblical scenes). The 5.5-metre Muiredach's High Cross is regarded as the finest high cross in the whole of Ireland. It features Biblical Carvings from the Old and New Testaments of the Bible. It is named after an abbot, Muiredach mac Domhnaill, who died in 923.

What a brilliant trip! So much history and a great opportunity to learn about the history of Ireland. Matt was a fountain of knowledge and very thorough with his instructions. This was a highlight going to see the ancient Irish burial mounds and learning about them.

A Must-See for History Nerds!
Absolutely loved this tour! Learned a lot about the history of Ireland and the opportunity to actually enter the burial chamber was the experience of a lifetime. That might sound a bit melodramatic, but for a history nerd, it really was the highlight of my trip! Tour guides at each site were so friendly and very knowledgeable. Wish we had more time at the sites- we had just enough time to see what needed to be seen, grab a very quick lunch and then we were off. No time to dally or even read the placards at the info center- I made sure to grab any and all pamphlets and bought a book from the gift shop to fill in the blanks. Overall, a great experience!
Response from the operator: Thank you very much for the excellent review.

Why this scores 80
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Dublin to Newgrange, Monasterboice Small Group Guided Tours: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Dublin.
How much does Dublin to Newgrange, Monasterboice Small Group Guided Tours cost?
+
Prices start at $100 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 to Newgrange, Monasterboice Small Group Guided Tours take?
+
Plan for about 7 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 to Newgrange, Monasterboice Small Group Guided Tours worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 80 out of 100, which we label "Exceptional". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.7/5 across 619 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable most popular in Dublin, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Dublin to Newgrange, Monasterboice Small Group Guided Tours?
+
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 to Newgrange, Monasterboice Small Group Guided Tours suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 7-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Dublin to Newgrange, Monasterboice Small Group Guided Tours?
+
Around 217 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 7-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Dublin to Newgrange, Monasterboice Small Group Guided Tours 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.
