My tour was done by Derek Smith and I cannot say enough great things about him and the tour. My 3 girlfriends and I 100% agree that this tour was the best part about our trip to Ireland. Derek has a passion for history and was a wealth of information about the sites. He was friendly, profession, accommodating and fun.... More

Ireland is a place we will try to return to a few times, and I must say that we will try to get Derek to take us around again when we come back, as well. There aren't hardly any other tours that will take you to Meath. Thank goodness Derek decided to fill this niche, because the amazing sites and... More

Derek Smith gave us a wonderful day. My husband and I were traveling with another couple, and wanted to see Trim and other sites along the way. Derek insured we got to see all the sites of Meath and other recommended sites we did not know about. He also knew schedules, he clearly knew the in/outs of each site including... More

We wanted a private car and guide to visit Newgrange for a half day tour, when in Dublin recently. Derek provided a great trip,interesting and really personal. He was local and had plenty of little anecdotes to bring the trip to life, as well as an easy manner and good knowledge of the area. We would recommend his tours to... More

After three lovely weeks driving around Ireland, we decided to hire a private driver for our last day. We were staying in Trim and wanted to explore the many heritage sites around New Grange. The area has so many fascinating places but the maps were a bit confusing and we didn’t want to waste any precious time getting lost. Not... More

Derek was accommodating, kind-hearted, and went above and beyond the usual tours with his personal stories. He picked us up at our hotel very promptly, was a wonderful conversatonalist, and very professional in his approach, the price was very reasonable, comparable to a tour bus approach, but our family instead had a personal tour from a fantastic person. We got... More

This was me and my husband's second trip to Meath. Our first trip just left us wanting more, but to see everything we wanted to see would have taken us days. Derek with Beautiful Meath Tours was the perfect answer. He picked us up promptly in the am at our B & B and spent all day with us. Besides... More

may 18th 2011 This tour might be mislabled as derrick picks up travelers from dublin as well as other areas. i am not even sure why navan was used as the source. We are 5 mature adults who booked a tour with Derek in may. Our plane was a day late but Derek rearranged our times and gave us a... More

I'm not even back to Canada yet from my vacation to Dublin, but I strongly felt Derek Smith should be congratulated on the brilliant day he arranged escorting myself and two daughters throughout the Boyne Valley. We were promptly met at our B&B in a warm and comfy Nissan with large windows for excellent views. This part of the country... More
