Welcome to Ireland ! My name is Hogan and I'm delighted to join ToursByLocals from June 2022! I'm a National Tour Guide, based in Dublin and covering the entire island of Ireland. I'm a Chauffeur Guide for small private groups (up to 7 guests), as well as doing Shore Excursions, Walking Tours and personal Genealogy Tours. I'm also a Genealogist with over 35 years experience, which has given me a unique insight into the deep connection people of Irish heritage all over the world feel towards this beautiful island country. There are more than 100 million people around the world who claim Ireland as their ancestral home! But Ireland enchants visitors of every background, not just those of Irish descent, and I love sharing my passion for Ireland with every guest for whom I have the privilege to be their guide or driver guide. Whether it's the Ring of Kerry, the Wild Atlantic Way, or Co. Antrim's stunning Causeway Coast, Ireland has some of the World's most breath-taking coastal scenery, and there are "postcard views" around every corner. And there's much more to Ireland than simply beautiful scenery; our culture, music, and writers have all found world acclaim. Ireland is home to some of the World's finest Stone Age archaeology, and then there's our history: Ireland's story is one of successive arrivals and settlement, invasion, conflict, tragedy and triumph, but ultimately, it's a story about people. It's a story which will beguile you, enchant you, and capture your heart. All my tours can be customized upon request. Come, discover our story - let me help you Fill Your Heart with Ireland! National Tour Guide (White badge), recognized by the Irish Tourist Board. Licensed chauffeur, guiding in my own limousine. None

Five thousand years in a day: From the Stone Age to the Digital Age!
Overview of your Dublin tour
A voyage of discovery, to the UNESCO World Heritage Site of Brú na Bóinne, an enormous complex of 5, 000 year old tombs. If you love history & archaeology, this will be among the most memorable days of your life! And if you think you don't like history and archaeology, prepare to discover that you do! The highlight of today's tour is a visit to Brú na Bóinne, including the spectacular Stone Age tombs of Newgrange and Knowth. These tombs are the pinnacle of Stone Age monument building in Ireland, and are among the finest anywhere in the World. They are celebrations of engineering, astronomy, and the human experience! This tour also touches on the history of Dublin, from the War of Independence in the 1920s, back to the arrival of the Vikings in 842AD. We will see the finest carved stone Celtic Cross in the world, dating from 923AD, and your choice of a Norman castle built in 1172AD, Royal Tara (seat of ancient Kings of Ireland), or the Battle of the Boyne site (1690). Be back in Dublin in time for dinner!
Your Dublin tour itinerary
*All aspects of this tour can be customized. *This tour takes about 8 hours. We can depart at any time up to about 12 noon, but I suggest a starting time of around 9am to ensure we are back in Dublin in plenty of time for you to relax before dinner. *Traveling by private limousine, our first stop is the spectacular Stone Age complex of Brú na Bóinne. *After that, we move on to the Early Christian site of Monasterboice, and finest Celtic Crosses in the world! *Our final visit for the day will be your choice of Royal Tara (seat of ancient High Kings of Ireland), Trim Castle (built in 1172AD), or the Battle of the Boyne visitor centre, which explains the battle of July 1690 and the effects which are still felt today! Trim Castle and Royal Tara are outdoor visits, so in wet weather I recommend the Battle of the Boyne centre. *All sites have rest rooms and cafés nearby, as well as pub food or a fine hotel for more elegant tastes.
