Bru Na Boinne recommendations Mary's Newgrange tours are booked up

Traveling on the RS 8 day Ireland ending June 4th in Dublin and planning to stay 1 day longer in Dublin specifically to get out to Newgrange. Any recommendations on other tour operators or how to get out there without a car? Checked the online tickets on the heritage site and can book only 30 days out . Mary's Newgrange Tours are booked out :(

Advice welcome or other operators who can get me out there ! Thanks

Hi Laura, My husband and I are starting a tour Sunday June 4 at 5 pm and are arriving Saturday. I also asked Mary Gibbons about that date and she said she had an archaeological tour and there would be no waitlist.

Hilltop treks told me Bru na Boinne didn’t allocate spaces for their tours on Sundays during June and July. It is open to the public.

I asked Rick Steve’s tours about how to get there and they said:
You can take public transportation. Also, they provided the following links which I have not checked yet.

There is a great journey planner from the site here: https://heritageireland.ie/visit/places-to-visit/bru-na-boinne-visitor-centre-newgrange-and-knowth/#place--contact

If you do find a tour, would you please post it here, because I am interested in a tour on Sunday, June 4?
