    Fantastic Day with Owen at Newgrange Day Tours

    We booked a day trip from Dublin for me, my wife, and 15 year old son with Owen and the whole thing was fantastic. Booking was simple, pick up was smooth, the tour was fun and really insightful, and Owen was fabulous. It is rare to find a guide who can so seamlessly talk to and make relevant all things to all people and Owen is one of those people. A great experience that we would recommend to any and everyone. Thank you, Owen, for a great time!

    GREAT TOUR!!!!!

    Hills of Tara Owen was amazing!!!! He arrived early and was very talkative and explained every aspect of the tour. We went to the hills of Tara where he gave us a one-on-one guided tour, that was amazing. His knowledge of Irish history was above and beyond. Could not have asked for a better guide. Second was Bective Abbey he was very knowledgeable and told us the inner workings of the Abbey. Third was trim Castle. He allowed my wife and I time to walk around and enjoy the beauty of the castle. Upon leaving, he chatted with us the whole way back discussing more history from Ireland.. I cannot stress enough, how great of a guide he is. If you're going to take a tour, ask for Owen by name. We will definitely have him take us some places when we return.

    Wonderful tour with Owen

    Owen is a delightful guide. Well informed, humorous and just a good guy. He gave us some interesting historical information on both sites at Tara and Trim Castle and a few laughs along the way. Thank you, Owen!

    Hill of Tara and Trim Castle Private Day Tour from Dublin: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Dublin.

    How much does Hill of Tara and Trim Castle Private Day Tour from Dublin cost?

    +

    Prices start at $693 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 Hill of Tara and Trim Castle Private Day Tour from Dublin take?

    +

    Plan for about 5 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 Hill of Tara and Trim Castle Private Day Tour from Dublin worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 58 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 7 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 Hill of Tara and Trim Castle Private Day Tour from Dublin?

    +

    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 Hill of Tara and Trim Castle Private Day Tour from Dublin suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Hill of Tara and Trim Castle Private Day Tour from Dublin?

    +

    Around 2 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 5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Hill of Tara and Trim Castle Private Day Tour from Dublin 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.
