The highlight of our trip to Ireland. We booked a private tour for my husband and myself through Diana’s company. Diana was very personable as well as an interesting and knowledgeable guide. She picked us up at our hotel and took us to three archaeological
sites: Tara, Trim Castle and Bective Abbey. She relayed extensive history about each site, the grounds and the features as well as the ruins themselves. Up to this time we had been on 3 other tours in Ireland during our trip here. Those tour guides were fine, however, telling jokes and stories seemed to take precedent over relaying the true history of each place (along with its dark side). We had lots of time to tour and investigate each place and ask questions if we had any, whereas on prior tours, I had felt a bit rushed.
And finally, Diana packed and served us a wonderful little picnic that we ate on the grounds of Bective Abbey. Thanks Diane, it was a great day!

I'm still blown away by this tour - we climbed the Hill of Tara and saw breathtaking views, plus we learned so much about the history, legends, and spiritual importance of the site. Our tour guide Diana was a wealth of information, handling every question we asked her with aplomb (and we asked A LOT of questions).
Beyond her wide-ranging knowledge of Irish history and legend, Diana was a kind, funny, and unflappable companion as we navigated the sites together. We are so grateful to Gateway to Ireland for making this such an unforgettable trip!

Our private tour guide was Diana. She picked us up at our Hotel in Temple Bar and spent the day guiding us through some history of a few Boyne Valley Sights: The Hill of Tara, Trim Castle, and Bective Abbey. The Trim Castle Tour was given by an official guide, and was excellent.
It was cold, rainy, and sometimes sunny. Diana took good care of us.
This was a great way to spend a day with someone else driving and giving expert knowledge of some of the most ancient and historic sights in Ireland. The private tour was well worth the ticket price.
We stopped in the village of Trim, near the Trim Castle—had a beautiful homemade soup between stops. We were in a sweet little family luncheonette with excellent service. The HOT soup and the HOT pot of Tea were greatly appreciated on this cold and damp day. (Later in the evening, after the tour, we enjoyed a Guinness😂)
Diana could not have been nicer! EXCELLENT GUIDE.

Highly recommend! Amazing day spent with the sweet, attentive, and very knowledgeable Diana. This off the beaten path tour is a delight. Diana drove/guided my husband and I to the Hill of Tara, Bective Abbey and Trim Castle. We loved every minute, making three different historical stops in total. I sincerely appreciated how Diana asked us about our interests, so that she could personalize the day. Loved having tea/coffee and scones sat on a historical wall overlooking the Bective Abbey (chair was optional) and surrounding pastoral lands. We made sure to have our tennis shoes/hiking boots on, as the grasses were wet and a bit muddy; it was great fun getting up close and personal with over 5,000 years of Irish history. Also I was impressed how communicative she was prior to the trip; I felt in good hands from the minute I booked. Would not change a thing; bravo Diana for creating a fun enlightening trip.
