Fresh Seafood, Great Beer, Even Better Company

We had such an incredible time on the Hidden Howth Craft Beer & Seafood Trail—it was easily one of the highlights of our trip. The entire experience struck the perfect balance between exploring, relaxing, and indulging in some truly outstanding food and drink. Walking the trail with Mark and Missy made the day even more special. They created such a fun, welcoming atmosphere from the start, and it honestly felt more like spending the afternoon with friends than being on a tour. The pace was perfect, and the route itself was beautiful—taking in everything Howth has to offer while never feeling rushed. The seafood was absolutely phenomenal—easily some of the freshest we’ve ever had. Each stop felt thoughtfully chosen, and you could really taste the quality and care in everything we tried. Paired with a great selection of craft beers, it was the kind of experience where every single stop felt like a highlight. Mark, in particular, deserves a special mention. He was incredibly friendly, engaging, and genuinely fun to spend time with. His warmth and enthusiasm really elevated the entire experience, and it was clear he cares deeply about making sure everyone has a great time. Overall, this was a truly memorable experience that we’d recommend to anyone visiting Howth. Between the amazing seafood, excellent beers, and fantastic company, it’s something we’ll be talking about for a long time.

Puppies, beer, and seafood- oh my!!

I CANNOT recommend this experience enough!! A quick 30-minute train ride outside of Dublin gives a completely different perspective of Ireland. Howth is an incredibly beautiful coastal city. Mark is an extraordinary tour guide, full of fun stories and fascinating information — from explaining rugby to us Americans to sharing the rich history of Howth. On top of that, we enjoyed some of the BEST seafood and craft beer we’ve ever had (coming from a group that lives at the beach in North Carolina). This was hands down my favorite food tour I’ve ever been on, and we’re already planning our next trip back to visit again. We had 3 seafood dishes and 4 different pints- you definitely get your moneys worth! Every part of the experience was fantastic, but the absolute highlight for us was the puppies — SOOO sweet and precious! Our only complaint was that we had to return them at the end of the tour. We truly cannot recommend this tour enough if you’re considering it!!

This was a great little...

This was a great little tour! Not too much walking, but got to see a good bit of the town, including the old city hall and an abbey that looked out over the water. The pubs were all great! Their food was amazing and the beer was also good. Mark was an amazing host - both funny and knowledgeable. And his dog, Missy, was a great little tour mascot. Just loved everything about it!!

MUST DO while in Dublin!

Highly recommended! My husband and I had a fantastic time walking around Howth Harbour with our guide Paddy and a FUN group of peeps. The food was really tasty, the craft beer TWO thumbs up (They can even provide ciders if you or your partner do not drink beer). We had such great fun that everyone stayed after the tour was over, had a few beers and even played cards together! Loved it!
