Itinerary
We will start the tour visiting the fishing port of this typical Irish town, where with any luck we can see a gray seal. From there, based on the weather, we will decide our next point on the itinerary: we can visit Howth Castle, learn about the history of Ireland's most famous pirate captain, tour the beautiful rhododendron garden, go back in time to visit a dolmen and know its legend, we will go up to Muck Rock where we will have the best view of the bay of Dublin, we will cross a forest where we will have a picnic (it is recommended to bring something to eat), next to the fairy houses. From there, we will head towards the famous Howth cliffs, where the view of the Baily Lighthouse overwhelms. We will finish the tour walking along the cliffs and descending to the best known fishing village in eastern Ireland.
Pass by: We will see at the back of a spectacular landscape the wonderful Baily Lighthouse, one of the icons of Howth and a magnificent place to take photos.
Pass by: We will pass in front of Howth Castle, which is full of stories and legends such as that related to pirate captain Grace O´Malley

!!!MORE THAN RECOMMENDABLE!!!
It is the first time we have done a Free Tour, and thanks to Bea, we will repeat it. What a dynamic, cheerful, and good communicator she is! She explained everything very well, and most importantly, it was so enjoyable! She sent us a WhatsApp advising us on places to visit, where to have breakfast, and where to eat. Thank you very much, Bea! And what can I say about the Tour in Howth with David! We had a great time, both with the group and with David; we talked a lot about everything, it was a luxury! Both tours and guides are highly recommended! THANK YOU VERY MUCH!!
Howth like I never imagined it 🇮🇪✨
Jorge took us to explore the Howth peninsula in a way very different from traditional tourist tours. In addition to the classic places, he showed us the beautiful rhododendron garden and guided us on a hike to a hill with a spectacular view of Dublin and the sea. What I liked the most was that Jorge not only recommends good places to grab a snack or enjoy a beer, but he also shares the fascinating history of Ireland, from the early Viking settlements to present-day Ireland. You can tell the passion and knowledge he has about the country. We ended the tour at the cliffs, taking incredible photos and enjoying unforgettable landscapes. A completely recommended experience! 5 stars!
Highly recommended

The guide Juanje was fantastic, very close and pending us the whole excursion. It made our journey very enjoyable by telling us curiosities along the way and took us to places that without it we would not have known how to reach. He recommended places to eat and visit. I would repeat without hesitation.
