“Robbie was the best tour guide and extremely knowledgeable on the topic of Game of Thrones. It was truly a magical experience one that I highly recommend. There is a lot of walking so if your not physically fit maybe reconsider this particular tour.”
Coastal hike in Howth with a local guide, folklore and lighthouses, then a pint at The Bloody Stream plus a shareable video.
“Fantastic experience learning about Howth. This cliff walk doesn't quite qualify as a hike, but you'll log 16k+ steps, half of which are uphill, before you end with a well-earned pint on Mark. I'd recommend this every day over 8 hours on a bus to see some more-well-known cliffs.”
Guided 3-hour hike from Howth Market through harbor seals, abbey lore, and cliff paths with big views, then time to eat in town.
“I am so glad I booked this experience. Howth is beautiful. I would definitely recommend it and i hope you end up with Matt as a guide because he was so lovely and shared so much historical and contemporary anecdotes. Would also recommend if you dont have a lot of time to spare.”
Hike Howth’s south cliffs with an expert guide, start with scones in town, chase sea caves, and finish at a famous summit.

A 11 km Howth hike with Spanish guide, Celtic legends, forest paths, cliff views, and a picnic stop. Train ticket extra.
“Álvaro is a great guide. He's funny and knows not only the history of the place but a lot of curious data about it. We had an amazing experience around Howth cliffs and the forest -there's a lot of hidden secrets! - I absolutely recommend doing any tour with him!”

“By the end we felt like locals from Howth. Along our hike we were taught the legends of the area, saw the unique landmarks where the locals spend free time, and see the beauty of the whole region. We highly recommend this hike for others. It was a fabulous, fun and full of inspiring wonder.”
Hike Glendalough at sunset, follow guides through ancient monastic grounds by head lamp, then stargaze in County Wicklow with history stops.
“Both guides but especially Elena were marvolous. Perhaps start earlier so the pace is not so fast and more time to enjoy the views.”
Guided hike through Dublin Mountains megalithic tombs, panoramic views, and seasonal wild berries, with small-group attention and optional pub lunch.
“Had a lovely time hiking with Ben. He had so much knowledge of Irish history and I learned a lot. The tombs and the views were my favorite part. The hike was gorgeous. You should definitely book this hike.”
