Great tour of the city...

Great tour of the city and cliffs. We enjoyed the hike even though the weather wasn't the greatest. Loved seeing the puppies as well. Great way to learn about the town and see the sights.

Best day in Ireland!

Mark and Missie were so much fun to hang out with. Mark had great stories and humor. Missie allowed us to pet and feed her treats. The scenery and hike was stunning. The pints and lunch after were fabulous and we learned what “Split the G” means! The video Mark made was a welcome bonus. Highly recommend!!! If we were here longer, I would also do the seafood and pints crawl!

Fun Hike

Great fun. Our guide was hilarious and very informative. In the end, we met his pup and had a pint at The Bloody Stream. We came from a cruise ship and it was about an hour from the Dun Laoghaire stop to the Howth train station which is at the Bloody Stream Pub where the walk starts. Both stops are on the green train line so it's very easy to get to from the cruise port.

UNFORGETTABLE

A superb hike with lots of laughter and culture thanks to our guide Patrick, absolutely crazy from start to finish and who knew how to make himself likable from the very beginning of the activity even while we were still at the station. A good walk that ends with a good Guinness at the end of the adventure. Thank you Patrick!!!

Fabulous tour of Howth Coast

This was one of the best tours ever. Wonderful tour guide, Patrick, I learned so much about Howth, about Irish traditions (especially wakes) -- so many stories and so well told. I got to meet the puppies and I got a great video of our trip at the end of the tour. Very down to earth, lots of fun, entertaining. I highly recommend this.

Best Experience in Dublin

Our rent-a-friend, Paddy, was a great guide and a really funny guy. He seemingly knows everybody in the entire village and he kept us laughing up and down the hill. Be sure to ask about the Barry Tax; he's legendary!

A fantastic day away from the city center

One of the absolute highlights of my trip to Dublin. Patrick (our guide) obviously loved what he was doing and was happy to answer questions about everything from history to Dublin to the Irish language. The hike (~4.5 miles/7km) was very manageable -- a couple steep climbs, but on-trail pretty much the entire way without anywhere I was worried about my footing. The views were gorgeous, and the pups (brought out after the hike -- they were a bit young for the hike itself) were adorable.

Fun and fascinating

Amazing walk with Paddy today, he is a fantastic guide. Saw some great scenery, heard lots of fun facts and stories, cuddled cute puppies and a sweet older dog and finished with a pint of Guinness!
