best tour ever!
i can't tell you enough how much fun we had on this tour. Patrick started the tour by saying he wanted to be a new best friend for the next 4 hours. he turned out to be just that. not a tour guide but a true friend. the tour was informative, funny, great food, awesome beer, and the locations we visited were really neat and were full of history. we ended the tour at the Bloody Stream where we hung out with Patrick and Mark and family. and the pups! Great people, great music and lots of Guinness to go around. and Patrick got up and sang with the band! what a great way to end a fun day. I can't say enough how much we enjoyed Patrick and his company. We all made a new friend today. next time we're in town, Patrick, we're looking you up.

Beer and Seafood with great people
A great escape from Dublin’s bustling environment for a quieter and quaint fishing town only 45 minutes away. Our guide Patrick was warm and welcoming. He had great stories and anecdotes to go along with each beer and each place we visited/ate at. Would absolutely recommend for a craft beer or seafood lover.

100000000000/10 highly recommend
The tour was absolutely amazing, ahead so much fun. Perfect for anyone who likes to go on vacation and not do stupid touristy BS. The food was UNREAL at each stop. The beer was even better. I don't usually even like beer (and neither does my husband) and we enjoyed every single one. I highly recommend this tour to anyone looking for an experience that feels like you're hanging out with an awesome local friend reho knows all the inside scoops and cool lore about the town. 600000000000000/10. THERE WERE PUPPIES!!!

Excellent tour
Paddy was fantastic. We got so much more out of this tour than we could have ever expected. Paddy has a great sense of humor. He treated everyone like a friend and then some! The beer and food was great as well. I would highly recommend this tour and you can only hope you get Paddy as your guide.
Thank you Paddy!
Barbara and Jamie.

Wonderful day in Howth
We booked this adventure in celebration of our 52nd wedding anniversary and a better choice could not have been made! Mark was an exceptional tour guide, knowledgeable and funny, the food and beer were amazing and we saw the beautiful town of Howth in a more personal way. We would definitely book another tour with this company if ever we return to Ireland!

Best tour ever!!!! Thank you Patrick
We would do this tour with Patrick again in a heart beat! The food, the walk, the information and the good time - we can not recommend this enough! If you are considering it - book it! We loved the tour, the place and the people! We missed the last train to our hotel even though the tour ended five hours earlier …. stayed at the bloody stream for the live music and chat with the locals. Can’t wait to go back - and we will!

Everything was top notch...
Everything was top notch from beginning to end. Food, delicious. Tour group, left as friends. Host: ABSOLUTE PHENOMENAL. Tilly the dog stole my heart. I cannot not recommend this experience enough. Would do it again!
Operator response
This made us smile — especially the part about arriving as a tour group and leaving as friends! ❤️ That’s exactly the kind of day we hope Howth creates. We’re delighted you loved the food, the company and the experience from start to finish. And as for Tilly… she has a habit of stealing hearts wherever she goes! 🐶😂 We’d absolutely love to have you back for round two someday!
