A great hike in a beautiful area, great day trip from Dublin - This is a beautiful area and the hike goes to some stunning locations. The guide was amazing, informative and personable. It is easy to get there from Dublin on the Dart train, I think about 30 minutes and 5 euros, and a great day trip. It was my favorite part of my visit to Dublin

Halloween hike in gorgeous Howth - We had a beautiful hike with Dee. I was visiting Dublin for a few days and wanted to see something of the countryside. Howth is a quick 30 minute train ride from Dublin. This tour was perfect. The scenery was gorgeous and the hike was invigorating but fairly easy (but it’s 3 hours so you do need good walking shoes and to be in fairly good shape). Dee was a great, lively tour guide - I learned a lot about Irish history and the plants and animals in the area and she added in a few ghost stories as it was Halloween! The tour was everything I wanted. Many thanks!!

Worth the trip - The tour was fun and informative for sure. The guide communicated well before during and after the tour. The small group format allowed for a great experience exploring Howth and learning all about its history. We enjoyed the walking tour and all of Dee’s knowledge made the 5+ miles walk seem effortless

Amazing views and great guide! - Can’t say enough how wonderful our guilds was, Dee was amazing and I thoroughly enjoyed the whole experience. It was a bit touch and go to get to the meeting point due to the Dublin marathon stopping all the train, but Dee very helpfully gave advise to get me there. Throughout the hike there was stories and information a plenty, and the added bonus of pictures chronicling our journey. Was an awesome day with amazing views of the whole island. Was a great craic! 🤩

Beautiful Landscapes - Amazing Hostess - Beautiful weather on a Thursday in October. Dee was our amazing guide and hostess! She provided great stories and history. Beautiful landscape and gorgeous views that get better and better as the hike progresses. FYI - you need to be somewhat fit for this long hike. Highly recommend if you are!

Take in the beauty of Howth! You won’t regret it. - Peter was a lovely tour guide, sharing the culture of his hometown. He had a lot of great stories to share, and kept us entertained with friendly chit chat and banter as we walked along. The fresh air in Howth is unmatched. And the views Peter took us to were breathtaking. Lots of great photo opportunities. We loved our time with Peter!
