Travel in comfort in a luxury car while a knowledgeable guide shares fascinating stories, history, and local legends. Begin at Newgrange and Knowth, UNESCO World Heritage Sites over 5,000 years old—older than Stonehenge and the Pyramids—and uncover the Neolithic people who engineered these remarkable tombs. Continue to the Hill of Slane, where St. Patrick lit the Paschal Fire, marking the dawn of Christianity in Ireland. Conclude with a visit to the Monasterboice Monastic Site, famed for its soaring high crosses, including Muiredach’s, a masterpiece of Celtic artistry, before going back in comfort to your hotel.
