Wonderful experience!

My husband and I decided to take this tour on a whim while we were staying in Dublin as part of our honeymoon. We had such a wonderful time with Mark and Missy (his adorable dog) and couldn't recommend this tour more to visitors. We got very lucky with the weather (sunny, 15c) however, we had such a positive experience, we agreed it would have been just as fun if it had been raining and gray. Mark was so kind, engaging, and warm which made the hike all the more fun and enjoyable. Howth was also extremely easy to get to via public transportation; one of my favorite things to figure out while traveling! The tour was about 4(ish) hours that included a gorgeous hike, a history tour, and a pint at the end with the entire group. There were also people from all over the world in the group and with Mark's care, everyone had the opportunity to chat and get to know each other. Overall, we feel very lucky to have found this gem.
