I had so much fun with Patrick and Tilly, they were very friendly! The hike was the perfect start to my day and just a short ride on the Dart from the Dublin city center. I was blown away by the amazing video of our hike with videos, pictures, distance, route, etc... he sent everyone at the end of the hike. I'm looking forward to going on the hike again next time I'm in Ireland

Beautiful hike. Lovely, sunny day. Marc was a wonderful guide. And the puppies were awesome. Ended with a pint a meal at one of the local pubs. Highly recommend. One disclaimer - it is bit of a strenuous uphill hike.

This was such a great day! Highly recommend booking this for a fun and beautiful day in Howth. Mark was super friendly and a great guide. The hike was nice and easy and the views were incredible. Super simple to take the train from Dublin to Howth and the meeting point was right outside the station making it so convenient you can't miss it. This was a perfect day trip.

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. 😃

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.
