Description:

Set your imagination free and visualize a long-gone era, when great civilizations shaped and ruled the world, leaving behind mind-blowing legacies such as the passage tombs of Newgrange and the sacred Hill of Tara. Stunning Irish landscapes and unique vistas enhance this memorable experience.

As you leave Dublin behind, your guide narrates the legends and archaeological exploreies found at the Hill of Tara. The Celtic hill is considered a royal and sacred place that dates back to the 11th century. One of the most important sights of the complex is, according to tradition, the former seat of the High King of Ireland.

Your next stop is Newgrange—an Irish burial chamber predating the pyramids of Egypt and one of the oldest and largest Neolithic burial chambers in Europe. Step inside this UNESCO World Heritage Site and listen carefully as your guide shares the history of its tombs.

On your way back to Dublin, make a stop at the delightful suburb of Howth. Stroll the streets and soak up the stress-free lifestyle as you make your way to its summit for far-reaching views over Dublin Bay.
