What a trip! Best yet 💕 Matt was knowledgeable, entertaining & protective of us. I’d go on other tours knowing he was the guide. Cafeteria food was delicious with gracious workers. Top notch. Karen

This tour and the places we visited were truly mystical. You can really feel the high energy level if you’re sensitive to it. Our tour guide, Matt, was unbelievable, truly admirable. His depth of knowledge, whether historical, cultural, or about everyday Irish life, was impressive. He answered every question we asked with ease and passion and great humour. I can’t express enough how much I admired his dedication to giving us an unforgettable experience. Thank you, Matt.

To visit the Neolithic site st Bru Na Boinne was eye opening. incredible history on display. The transportation, description of events that occurred in the area. and the site tours themselves were top notch.

This excursion is great. The Stone Age sites are among the best in the world. What made this a 5+ was the guide, Matt. Told history throughout the trip and wove in interesting factoids that really made the stories stick.

Owen was a treasure. My 20 year old son and I greatly enjoyed his sense of humor and exceptional knowledge of the Boyne Valley and Irish History. The conversation was lively throughout the day and we wil not soon forget his contagious laugh. The car was pristine and comfortable. He is one of the great ones and you will be glad you booked with him.

We needed to visit a few special places while in Ireland and did not want to do a busy day tour with many other people. Owen was recommended to us by another driver in the area. We are so thankful for that because it could not have been better than it was with him. He provided us with a safe, very comfortable drive in a beautiful Jaguar that had great leg room and plenty of space in the back seat. In addition, Owen is engaging, fun loving, easy going, and a good driver. He accommodated us with special requests and is very flexible. Also, he is a very likable person. If you book with him, I promise you will not regret it.

We had the best driver ever. My husband and I travel a lot and Owen was literally the best. Very cautious with regards to driving, polite, amazing presentation, studied in history thus explaining things to us along the way. Owen drove us 6 hours from Dublin to Killarney with a two hour stop at Blarney Castle where my husband even kissed the Blarney Stone for a gift of eloquence 😂.Owen also took us for lunch on the way to a delicious farm to table cafe with delicious soup, bread and other foods and baked desserts. If you plan to visit Ireland and is considering an excellent driver with a very good car, be sure to call and book with Owen Mullen.

My niece and I are spending 11 days touring many regions in Ireland. We were looking for a day tour for the historical sights north of Dublin. We are so thankful that Owen was recommended to us by another tour operator! Owen took the time to tailor the tour to our interests. He was informative and entertaining - even my 16-yr old niece was engaged and asking questions. Owen was very easy to visit with and offered many of helpful tips for the remainder of our journey through Ireland. We thoroughly enjoyed our adventures with Owen!
