Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

This tour was great start to finish! Matt, our driver/tour guide, was fantastic. Powerscourt was worth the admission fee! Glendalough was beautiful and full of history. I highly recommend this tour!

I would highly recommend booking Hilltop Treks - and booking early - to anyone interested Newgrange and/or Nowth. Entrance to both is quite limited and individual visitors must have a car or work through a bus or train, followed by taxi option, that can proove costly and time consuming. With Hilltop Treks, it was so easy. A a small bus takes you from Dublin direct to the visitor center, where the staff guides tours of each site. As a bonus, after leaving g the Neolithic sites, Trek takes you to the Boyne battle site for lunch and optional tour and to St. Bhuite monastery before returning you to Dublin. Our driver-guide was knowledgeable, adding to the experience .

We were supposed to go to Knowth, New Grange, Slane Village and Castle and the village and castle of Trim. We were supposed to stop for lunch in Slane Village at one of Irelands most snug cultured pubs and cafes.

We did go to Knowth and New Grange, but not the last 2. Instead we were dropped at a rather boring tiny museum where we had to pay $5.00 if we wanted to go in. Not much to see. The lunch was not snug or cultured, but rather a simple buffet cafe with not enough inside tables for the group. It was too hot to sit outside. From there we made a 15 minute stop at a cemetery and abbey.

Our bus was so tiny we had to walk sideways down the aisle and there was no air conditioning. We were melting.

Knowth and New Grange were great but I don't know why we weren't taken to the other 2 places but instead were substituted for boring places. I have reached out for a refund but haven't had a response yet.

We had a great time thanks to excellent guide Terry, who told us about history and lore and gave us recommendations. We got to tailor our time at each place to exactly what we wanted (Powerscourt Gardens, Glendalough, lunch).

We had an incredible time with Hilltoptreks! Our guide Terry was amazing, very funny, and very musically talented! The horseback-riding at Killegar stables was so scenic. The woods we rode through were beautiful and all of the horses were so sweet! The stops at P.S. I love you bridge and Loch Tay also made for some incredibly views, and Glendalough was so interesting and peaceful! Overall we had a great experience!

Our driver Matt was fantastic. He made the trip very entertaining. He kept us on time at the various stops which is always a challenge with group tours.
