    Great tour. The docents were knowledgeable and very engaging and know the history well. Knowth was an exceptional experience. Visitor Centre really well done, efficient, clean and memorable. Tour very good value for money to see such extraordinarily special place.

    Amazing experience where you can see and touch stone markings made by someone over 5000 years ago. The tour guides are very nice. You get an explanation and a tour inside the tomb (you can't take pictures inside) and then you can explore the outside on your own.

    Lovely to be able to walk in and see the craftsmanship on the interior. I’m sure it’s spectacular to see on the winter solstice. But they do a mock up of that for you with the lights off and then the sun rising. They give you a lot of history so there’s really no time to look around on the outside. The buses are very timely.

    Amazing place, worth to visit. You are traveling from tourist center to Knoth and Newgrange by bus. In both places guides were great. Better reserve tickets earlier, I was alone and lucky that they had 1 place for me in the bus. Tours for every hour were fully booked that day and it was not even weekend.

    Wonderful day. These neolithic structures are incredible. The guides are superb and the educational materials great. Also a freshly made sandwich and decent tea in the visitor centre. Everyone should see these places

    One of the places with the highest historical load on the island. The monument is impressive not only in terms of construction and symbol, but also because is in top of the hill and in a sunny day you can have a beautiful panorama. But pay attention, if the day is rainy and windy, be prepared and dressed properly, will be very cold.

    Excellent and well preserved and maintained megalithic tomb site. I didn't go inside because of claustrophobia. Beautiful vista of the Boynw valley and fields.

    Amazing experience. We booked for 2pm on a Sunday. Book in advance for sure! You start with a visit in the visitor center for around 45 min and then a shuttle bring you to Newgrange for around 30 min visit with 20min with a guide. Really worth it for the price!

    A beautiful and spiritual place to visit. So many things to see and do. A very nice gift shop along with a very tasty restaurant. Rock formations were amazing. A great experience for young and old.

    A great experience even having caught the tail of hurricane Agnes. Not even 80 kph wind gusts and stinging rain stopped our guides who forged ahead anyway. One thing’s for sure—the Irish can weather a storm! The history, culture and the tombs themselves are amazing. Our guide, Lisa, was particularly good at sparking our imaginations and closing the time gap between us and our ancient ancestors. The center was very nice and a welcome respite from the weather. The best ham and cheese sandwiches I’ve ever eaten. Of course, Irish butter instead of mayonnaise! The Boyne Valley and River—scenic delights. Even caught a rainbow. Definitely, a must see experience.

    Great example of a mostly complete neolithic site dating from at least 3500 BC. Our tour guide at the site, Aegnus, was amazing. You could really tell he genuinely loved the material and was excited to present it. Additionally, the visitors center was excellent. The material presented in the exhibition was very much a information gathering before the trip to the site. The way they displayed the info was just right - not too technical nor too simple.

  • 5/5 Luz Alejandra Magre C. 8 months ago on Google
    Great experience, especially being able to go inside the monument. The guides are great and you can tell that they are very passionate about it. It's amazing how these structures are still there after 5000 years. Book at least a month in advance. Tickets sell very fast. You go there from the visitor centre and a bus takes you there at the time you booked.

  • 4/5 Philippe L. 6 months ago on Google
    Very interesting historical tour of more than 7000 years in the past. Good price (€10 per adult) for the "sister" version of the larger Newgrange site. The exhibition was fun as it immerses you into the lifestyle and the foot path of the neolithic population. The guided tour lasted for 30 minutes with some archeological descriptions together with theoretical stories opening to your own interpretations. You can then walk the site at your own pace for about 15 minutes and watch a video.

    Can I only give it 5 stars? Deserves more! This was the highlight of our trip to Ireland. If you're interested in this sort of thing then you've probably seen plenty of photos and documentaries about New Grange. My visit exceeded expectations. To go inside was amazing 😍. Staff and guides were excellent at giving us all of the information we needed to interpret the site. I want to go again next time.

    Had an amazing and very informative visit last week, have been intending on going for years. Just wanted to say a HUGE thank you to Sinead and Jackie for helping us out (I'd booked for this Weds instead of last Weds, but they managed to sort out our tour....thankful after driving for over two hours to get there!)

    We went with a home-school group to visit this site. The tour guide was very knowledgeable. She lives in the area and has been doing the job for a long time. She told us of new information about the other cairns in the region as well. Overall, this trip is worth it just to see what they have uncovered. This tour is highly recommended!

  • 5/5 Chris v. 4 years ago on Google
    A unique and interesting prehistoric site. Worth a visit to explore the mysterious origin of this structure. Our group included children 11-17 and they all enjoyed the visit

  • 5/5 Natalie C. 4 years ago on Google
    Great day out with the kids, knowledgeable staff and fab food in the cafe!

  • 5/5 Heather B. 4 years ago on Google
    1000 years before Stonhenge. 500 years before the pyramids. You are able to go inside the sacred space and see the carvings and recognize the historical significance of the place. Be aware though that is a very tight fit. If you are claustrophobic, it may not be the right thing for you. I would still go but just stay outside and walk around...

  • 5/5 Vikas G. 4 years ago on Google

    It is very very worth the visit. Most unique and special site.... And the new visitor's center (that looked fantastic) wasn't even open yet!

  • 5/5 JamminBoomPow 4 years ago on Google
    A truly wonderful place. Incredible to imagine the direct link that we have, through this monument, down through countless generations to the ancestors who built this amazing and enigmatic structures. Guide was lovely and very knowledgeable.

  • 5/5 Barbara G. 4 years ago on Google
    Awe inspiring tomb. We visited at opening on a frosty December morning, before the buses' arrival. Though it was a few weeks past solstice there was still a shadowy spear of light apparent when guides turned out the lights. Sadly the indoor displays were closed for remodeling.

  • 5/5 Johnathan B. 3 years ago on Google
    The hair on my arms and neck stood on end being in the presence of this place. Partially because its older than the pyramids and its location is breathtaking. FYI, The visitor center is currently under construction, so myself and partner got to view it on the tour for free!

  • 4/5 Micalle C. 4 years ago on Google
    This was a fascinating experience. The museum or guest center is extremely well put together. We enjoyed going into the tombs and the guides. I will say that I wish there was a bit more info with regard to the folklore. A lot of assumptions go into what they presume these places were established for. These could just as easily been created as living quarters to fight elements. Rather than animal sacrifice... perhaps just a kitchen? On the Knowth perimeter there is a structure from the Victorian era. We inquired and were told this was a "folly" building completed to give workers something to do. Terrible information. It much resembles a stone Igloo. Most likely a very useful structure to avoid elements.

    Waste of time. We tried to book online and system is offline for next 4 weeks. Turned up at 1pm on a Sunday and were told that there were no more tours available for the rest of the day. (Last tour circa 3:30pm) "First come first served" Wasted journey & 5 v disappointed children.

    (Translated by Google) A place where people face history. It is worth visiting a place that is about 500 years older than ... Egyptian pyramids. (Original) Miejsce, gdzie człowiek staje twarzą w twarz z historią. Warto odwiedzić miejsce, które jest starsze o ok 500 lat od... egipskich piramid.

    Helpful guides and brand new exhibition centre

  • 4/5 Nigel G. 4 years ago on Google
    Extremely interesting insight to ancient Irish civilization. Fantastic restoration of structure with original materials. Tour guide experienced and free time to wander about the surroundings while waiting turn to visit inside. Bus and tour were free (October and visitor centre in building process) but would have been worth the trip even if there had been a fee. Imagine is extremely busy during the tourist season so an early arrival is advised
