Malahide Castle & Gardens
Located in County Dublin, this castle has a history spanning nearly 800 years. Originally built in the late 12th century, it became the home of the Talbot family in 1185, who lived there almost continuously until 1975. The castle was expanded and remodelled over the centuries, reflecting various architectural styles. It played significant roles during key historical events, including the Battle of the Boyne in 1690, where 14 members of the Talbot family were killed. In the 20th century, the castle and its gardens were sold to the Irish state. Today, Malahide Castle is a popular tourist attraction, showcasing its history and heritage. Note: travel time from your hotel is included in the time spent on this attraction.
Monasterboice Monastic Site
Located in County Louth, this is an early Christian monastic site founded in the late 5th century by St. Buithe, a disciple of St. Patrick. The site thrived as a center of religion and learning until the establishment of nearby Mellifont Abbey in 1142. Monasterboice is renowned for its impressive high crosses, including Muiredach’s High Cross, considered one of the finest examples of Celtic stone carving in Ireland. The site also features a round tower, which once served as a refuge during Viking raids. Today, Monasterboice stands as an important archaeological and historical monument, attracting many visitors.

5.00The castle's tour guide was very knowledgeable and easy to understand. The place itself wasn't so busy at the time of visit so it was relaxing and comfortable to be walking around the whole garden/place. The Butterfly House is ok, but not amazing.
Great guide. Knows his Irish history and funny too!

5.00Owen was a great guide. Knowledgable, welcoming and funny too. I went with my aunt who is obviously a native of Ireland. However Owen was able to tell us stuff we didn’t know. His car was lovely and comfortable too!
Owen is knowledgeable, gracious, and kind—AMAZING day!

5.00We scheduled a tour with Owen and since it was private, he allowed us to customize it exactly the way we wanted. We were able to travel to the lake where parts of the show Vikings was filmed, which was high on my bucket list. We were also able to plan a romantic walk for just my husband and me. Owen was absolutely delightful and made us feel completely comfortable while he took care of the logistics of getting us from place to place. He found a charming little pub for my husband and I to enjoy a relaxing meal in the middle of our touring day, and the food was absolutely fantastic. We enjoyed seeing an ancient monastic site, old ruins, and lots of beautiful nature in the area. Owen is a great resource for information in Ireland, and when I return, I will absolutely contact Owen as my first resource to explore more of Ireland! Thanks so much for an incredible day. Lots of beautiful memories!
