Which tombs would be the best to tour? The tours I'm finding seem to offer one or the other.

Haven't been to Loughcrew, but our visit to Newgrange was definitely worthwhile and I'd do it again.

We drove to Newgrange only to find out that all tickets were sold. Wherever you go, I recommend going with a tour with entry included. Such a disappointment to us!

Thanks, all. I booked Newgrange with a day trip tour from Dublin.

Greetings from Ireland.
Newgrange is definitely the blockbuster archaeological site but apparently you no longer have to book a bus-tour to go there, the visitor centre Manager told me you can now book tickets online in advance at their official website. (worth calling to confirm)
I was one of the lucky 20 out of 60,000 lottery-applicants who won a place to be inside Newhrange for the winter solstice in December 2016! One of the top 5 highlights of my life so far...
Enjoy
