A perfect hike of Howth with unforgettable views! - A beautiful tour of Howth. Our guide, Deirdre, took us to the most breathtaking views of Howth that I could just stare at it for hours. We climbed up gorgeous hills, saw fascinating plants, and walked around an old church left from the Irish rebellions. We learned so much about Howth’s history that we will always keep. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone who loves nature and a good hike up the hills.

An Authentic, 5-Star Local Experience with a Family Touch - If you want to experience the true beauty of Howth, look no further than this family-owned gem. As a 3rd-generation local, Zack brings a level of passion and knowledge you simply won't find on a commercial tour. We completed the full Cliff Loop, but instead of just following the standard crowds, Zack took us on specific alternative paths he’s discovered over a lifetime in the area. This allowed us to truly appreciate Howth’s Biosphere designation. We saw all the major landmarks, including the Baily Lighthouse, accompanied by fascinating historical insights and local stories. • Safety & Pace: Zack was incredibly mindful of the group’s abilities. The "slow and steady" approach made the more physical sections feel completely doable and safe. • Personal Touch: It never felt commercial. It felt like walking with a friend who deeply cares about the land and your well-being. • Loki the Dog: A massive shout-out to Loki! He is exceptionally well-trained, entertaining, and added a wonderful layer of fun to the hike. Highly recommended for anyone wanting an authentic, engaging, and safe way to see the Dublin coast.

Excellent tour - My family had a wonderful time on the tour. A lot of interesting sights that are not available to most tourists. Our guide. Sean, was delightful with a wealth of knowledge about the area.

Awesome hike. Beautiful... - Awesome hike. Beautiful views. Sean was a terrific guide. Great history lessons and story telling. Takes the full 3 hours. Has a few steep climbs but well worth it.

GREAT EXPERIENCE!! - My wife and I had a great time hiking with Leonie yesterday. She is so knowledgeable and a delight to be with. We learned a lot from her. The hike itself was perfect, not too difficult and definitely worth the breathtaking views. Would definitely give it five stars and would highly recommend going with Leonie!! Neil Pollack

Perfect day in Howth - Had an absolute wonderful day tour with Shane. We walked through all kinds of nature through forest cliffs, close to the water, etc. Shane had wonderful knowledge and stories about past and present of Ireland and Howth. I can highly recommend doing a tour with Shane.

Wonderful tour with stunning views - Zach and Loki were great. Zach was very knowledgeable. Loki loves back rubs! A very informative tour. Views were stunning. This is a very active tour. We hiked up a BIG hill. You need to be in shape to enjoy and finish the tour. We walked over 15000 steps. It was a beautiful day with stunning views. Also, Zach recommended and made reservations for us at a restaurant. It was wonderful all the way around.
