Absolutely worth it! - It was absolutely the best part of my trip to Dublin! Thanks to Zack and his lovely dog Loky! Stunning views and interesting information from a local who loves his hometown and his job:) It was absolutely worth it! Greetings from Germany and "Auf Wiedersehen"! :-)

Fabulous hike in beautiful Howth - We had a wonderful walkabout the Howth Peninsula with Sean. Loved the hike, the views, and most of all, our guide. Great history and stories. The hike was just over 5 miles, more climbing than we realized, but Sean took great care in pacing the walk for everyone in our small group. It was a gray day, and we considered maybe skipping...we are so glad we went because it was spectacular. Worth every step and every breath of fresh air.

Spectacular Views Hiking the Howth Coastline - Dee Dee was a fabulous guide with lots of information about history, local tradition, culture, and anecdotes. The hike went all through the hills and along the coastline. Incredible views. If you enjoy a good hike, I can’t recommend this highly enough.

We were lucky enough to have Zac and Patrick as our guides who welcomed us as family friends and made sure we enjoyed every minute of our hike in Howth. Highly reccomed this vigorous adventure. Be prepared for breathtaking views, hillside and Coastal terrain, historical anecdotes and delighful cultural lore. A wonderful way to spend a day in beautiful Howth.

Awesome Hike without Rain and Barely Wind - The views were amazing, and we got so lucky with the weather—no rain and barely any wind, which is kinda rare for Ireland. Even though I’m not too into sports, the 3-hour walk was chill. Our guide, Dee, was awesome and made sure we were all good. Totally recommend it!

Howth Countryside Hike With a Fantastic Guide! - Dee was such a fun and interactive guide!This was voted our family’s favorite excursion while in Ireland for the week. We hiked 5 miles up, down, and around the beautiful Howth countryside with the ocean as our backdrop! Our family relished the tranquil views of nature and appreciated the way Dee would access the best views while keeping us off the heavily trafficked areas. Dee even made us a short, personalized digital picture video of our hike! What a treat!

A lovely day for a hike. - The hike was really nice, as we walked through trails full of summer flowers! I felt very close to nature, and the guide made lovely videos after the tour. I also learned about the history of Howth while enjoying the nature. Not difficult for beginner hikers.

Wonderful hike - Our local guide Dee led us (a small group) along beautiful paths away from the crowds across the Howth peninsula. We enjoyed fantastic views from the most beautiful spots and learnt lots of interesting facts about Howth, its history, flora and fauna and famous people who lived here. Dee spoke to us in an extremely pleasant manner and was very helpful, for example in finding out when the excursion boats leave. We felt very comfortable with her. To our surprise, we even received a 3D live map with the route and photos of our hike, what a great memory! Thank you very much, dear Dee.
