Explore Howth’s ancient village, castle estate, and stunning coast with a passionate guide who makes history come alive.
I can honestly say this was one of the highlights of my time in Ireland. Mark was an amazing guide who made every part of the walk feel personal and engaging. Instead of just repeating history, he shared stories, local knowledge, and little details that made you feel connected to the place and the people who have lived there for generations.
You could tell how much he genuinely loves Howth and wants others to appreciate it too. His passion was contagious, and his sense of humor kept everyone laughing along the way. The conversation flowed naturally, and it felt more like exploring with a knowledgeable friend than being on a tour.
The scenery was absolutely breathtaking (coastal cliffs, hidden paths, ancient ruins, and views that made us stop every few minutes just to take it all in). I left with a much deeper appreciation for Ireland’s history and natural beauty.
If you want more than a typical tourist experience and are happy to spend a few hours walking and exploring, I couldn’t recommend this tour enough. It’s authentic, memorable, and the kind of experience that stays with you long after you leave.

Best Tour in Ireland - Scenic and Interesting
It’s so easy to get to Howth from Dublin’s city center and considering how beautiful it is, it is absolutely necessary to go there if you’re ever in Dublin!
Missy and Mark were the perfect tour guides. Missy knew where exactly all the great places to go were and Mark was extremely knowledgeable and really had a passion and enthusiasm for Howth that really showed! I learned so much and had a fantastic time. This was easily my favorite tours that I went on when I was in Ireland!
Mark generates a video at the end that shows a map of you exactly where you went and has pictures and videos. Missy was a great dog model and fun to pose with. Well worth it!

Seals, a workout, craic, and a good dog
I took the shorter afternoon walking tour and was the only traveler on this early spring day. Mark took me around Howth's beautiful views, tirelessly joking and telling stories and chatting about his life in Howth. Lovely dog Missy accompanied us, and though she only has eyes for Mark she was happy to chase a few balls thrown by me. Mark is personable, smart, and delightful company. I'm delighted I took this tour on a whim and think it was one of the best things I did in Ireland. Highly recommend him and Missy!

Private walking tour with Mark
We were a party of 4, 2 from California, 1 from the UK and a local Dub! Mark completely got the mix of us. He had us all in stitches with his comedic stories. But don't let that take away from his great historical knowledge of the area. We thoroughly enjoyed the 2 hours walk around Howth with him and couldn't believe it went by so quickly. Missy his dog, was an added bonus - such a cutie. We will always book with Mark in the future when we have friends over to stay. Can't recommend him highly enough.
