Great hike and guide! - My friend and I had an amazing time on our hike, with much of it being because our kind, knowledgeable, and helpful tour guide Dee! She knew so much about the town and surrounding areas and was a great story teller. She was very accommodating and supportive of others in the group who were having a harder time. She also gave us great recommendations for not only our day in Howth after the hike, but other cities we planned to visit after. Thank you Dee!

Best experience in Dublin - Best tour in Dublin. The hike takes you through amazing views and knowledge about Howth. Even as someone that grew up near by, I learned very interesting things about the area and saw amazing views and even got up close to Highland Cows. Definitely worth with. Would high recommend to anybody. Thank you Paul, Shane and Kym!

Best way to spend a day in Howth - I was looking to spend time outdoors during my trip to Ireland, and I’m glad I found this tour - it was one of the best tours I’ve done. Paul guided us all around Howth and shared the history and stories of the area throughout the trip. It’s not the easiest hike, but the different landscapes and seascapes are an incredible reward. Paul’s two dogs also kept us entertained throughout the hike, and four hours flew by quickly. I will definitely do this hike again if I return to Howth.

Rain, wind and laughter - Dee was a knowledgeable and passionate tour guide! Unfortunately the weather did not cooperate, very windy and wet, but that made for a fun adventure. We laughed a lot along the way and Dee made the very best out of our experience.
