Not to be missed. - This was one of the best tours we have done in this our second trip to Ireland. Patrick, our guide, was fantastic! His ability to mix history and local knowledge with humor made the entire time we spent together absolutely great. The views that we took in during the hike were incredible. If your looking to get out of Dublin for the day and experience the views and history of a fishing village, this tour is the one!

Exceptional time. - Patrick, you came into our lives and for a few brief hours entertained us with the history and beauty of your town. We hiked the cliffs and gazed out on the islands, pondering the vastness of the ocean and how we fit into this infinite universe. Then we drank some Guinness. Cheers mate, hope our paths cross once again.

Howth - A Beautiful Day Trip from Dublin - Patrick was an excellent guide for our tour of the town of Howth as well as the cliffside. Not only is he a long time resident of the area, but his wit and personality make this an excursion entertaining. The outing consists of a long hike up hillsides, so one needs to make sure you have a water bottle with you and proper shoes for the hike. This is not a casual walk in the park. We were fortunate to have a sunny, clear day and the pint at the end of the hike was well worth it.

Exceeded expectations - Well worth the short trip from Dublin, and a great time and value! This hike exceeded my expectations. The group size was perfect, and Patrick was great storyteller and highly informational and entertaining. Ending the trip with a pint was the best. And we had the best weather.

GIRLS TRIP !!!! - Patrick is so much fun and he had us laughing the whole time. He’s a hoot and a half. He also had the best job ever and I might move to Howth just to work with him. #girlstrip #bestshaggyimpression #pattynotpaddy #regannotronald

Spendid - Howth hike - Do this hike if you like to get outdoors. We had an amazing hike with Mark and Missy. The stories were great. The cliff views were phenomenal. Mark is very personable and talk to each of us in the group. Missy has a great personality and knows what she likes. Taking the train out to Howth was easy from Dublin city centre.

Breathtaking views, great stories, puppies, and pints! - The Howth coastal hike was absolutely fabulous from start to finish. The views of the cliffs, sea, and village were stunning. What made the experience exceptional was our guide Mark, who shared interesting details and fun local stories, and his puppies. His knowledge added so much to the hike, making it more than just a beautiful walk. He also took pictures along the way and shared them in a video with us after the hike. Highly recommend this experience to anyone visiting Dublin!

A Highlight of our Ireland Adventure! - My husband and I had a great hike with Mark, his wife and their two dogs. No one else had signed up for our hike, so we ended up with a “private“ tour. Beautiful sights, great conversation, great history. Lots of laughs!
