Howth hike

We thoroughly enjoyed our hike with Sean. The conversation was lively and we learned so much about Howth and Irish history. The hike was moderate and the scenery was beautiful! I would highly recommend this tour.

Magical place with thee best tour guide x

What a gem of a place. Sean our tour guide absolutely captivated us with the folklore and the history or Howth. The scenery is breathtaking. We have fallen in love with the place. I'm so glad we took a tour rather than just headed out on our own. The knowledge and information about Howth and the surrounding areas made the experience next level. Will definitely be back x

Highlight of our Dublin trip

We had an excellent experience hiking with Zack (and dog Loki !) as our guide(s). The sights and history and hill and woods walking were great!

Great place to spend time - Howth Ireland!

I sent in a review in early May. Rob Keough was our guide. He grew up in the Howth area and was very considerate and knowledgeable about the fishing village. It was my favorite day!
