The Royal Tour: Discover Ireland’s Ancient Heritage

Immerse yourself in Ireland’s rich history on The Royal Tour, an 8-hour journey through some of the country's most magnificent archaeological sites. Our adventure begins in the historic town of Drogheda, conveniently located just north of Dublin's city centre.

In Drogheda, you will marvel at the impressive Celtic High Crosses, regarded as some of the finest examples in Ireland. Nestled among the ruins of an early Christian settlement, these towering crosses date back to the 5th century and reach heights of up to 5.5 meters. Explore their intricate carvings and the stories they tell of faith and artistry from a past era.

Our next destination is the awe-inspiring Newgrange, a prehistoric monument in County Meath that predates the Egyptian pyramids by over 3,000 years. Constructed by ancient Stone Age farmers, Newgrange is renowned for its exquisite Neolithic rock art. As you stand before this UNESCO World Heritage Site, you'll gain insight into the remarkable craftsmanship and spiritual significance of this ancient burial site.

The final highlight of The Royal Tour is the Hill of Tara, an iconic ceremonial and burial site that once served as the seat of power for an impressive 142 kings of Ireland. Take in panoramic views of the Boyne Valley, encompassing landmarks such as the Loughcrew Cairns, the Hill of Slane, and Trim Castle. As you wander through this historic landscape, feel the weight of history and the ancient tales waiting to be discovered.
