Had such a great time - Mark and Missy were excellent guides. We had a lot of fun and the views were incredible. Mark is hilarious and is very knowledgeable about Howth. Meeting at the train station made it very easy to get to since we did not have a car. I would highly recommend this trip. P.S. I learned about the middle G challenge and was able to accomplish it later in the evening thanks to a pro tip from Mark. 😃

Great easygoing walk - Loved my walk with Mark, Missy and the group. Had a very lovely day and would participate in more of Mark’s tours anytime. Liked the pace, historical bits and great views. The beer and food at the end were so satisfying and Mark was most agreeable.

Fun at Dublin’s coast - I had a great time learning about Howth from Mark. Despite the rain, it was a very engaging tour with interesting stories and beautiful views. It didn’t even feel like 3+ hours because we were enjoying ourselves. Would highly recommend this tour!

Must do coastline tour just outside Dublin - We had the best time on this hike with Mark and Tilly leading the way. It was filled with history, great stories, laughs and beautiful views. I loved learning about Howth and it is such a short Dart train ride from Dublin, how can you not go! It was so nice to get out of the city, get in a good hike and breathe in the ocean air! The video provided by Mark at the end was awesome and such a great recap of the tour. The pint and lunch we had at the Bloody Stream to top it all off was the perfect end to one of my favorite memories of our trip to Ireland.

Our favorite day in Ireland! - My daughter and I took this tour together, and we are so glad we did! Mark is so personable, taking time to talk with everyone in the group individually while also sharing the history of Howth and funny anecdotes with the group along the way. Of course Missy the dog makes an adorable sidekick. The views once we got to the cliffs were amazing. By the time we made it back to the pub we were all ready for a pint. The food was also delicious (try the seafood chowder!) and the service friendly. We ended up staying for several hours! I highly recommend this tour if you are in Howth.

Great way to experience Howth! - I thoroughly enjoyed my tour with Mark and Milly. This was a great way to experience Howth and learn more about the area. At the end of the tour we all had a pint (or beverage of choice) and lunch, which was a great way to finish the tour. The picture video Mark made of our adventure is a fabulous memory of the trip. Mark and Milly are wonderful hosts.

Best Activity Near Dublin - Our favorite activity in / near Dublin! We took a quick train ride from Dublin to Howth and the meeting spot was easy to locate - right outside the train station. We then went on a walk / hike around Howth, stopping along the way to learn more about the sights. The highlight was the hike to the lighthouse, where the views were incredible. Overall, it was ~4 miles of walking and then we ended up at the Bloody Stream Pub. Here our guide got us each a pint of our desired beverage and we all decided to eat lunch (not included in tour). I thought it was great that our guide ate lunch with us and seemed to genuinely enjoy talking to us. The puppy was adorable too!

Great Tour - This was an excellent tour. Mark took us to some beautiful spots. He was a great tour guide and his puppy, Tilly, was adorable. There were 10 people in our group which was the perfect size. There is a lot of walking uphill, so be prepared for that. This tour was one of the highlights of our trip to Ireland.
