We had a free day in Dublin before our cruise tour would begin. We were looking for a trip that would take us to places you don't normally visit. This trip fit the bill perfectly. Our driver was waiting when we came down from our hotel room. We visited Trim castle, Bective Abbey, Hill of Tara, Hill of Slane, Slane Castle and Distillery, Monasterboice and Tullyallen - Melllifont. Our guide was excellent and we saw more than we expected.
