Driver Robbie was knowledgeable and entertaining Howth was iconic fishing village. Beware of gulls if you’re eating outdoors!

coastal tour - Howth

We had a fantastic tour and Jerry (our tour guide and driver) was amazing. He had lots of insight to share, a hilarious spin on things and was extremely enthusiastic which is always nice to see.

In Praise of Live Guides to Howth

Jerry was a great live guide, and live guides make the tour worthwhile. Decent amount of time to hike the cliff trail and get lunch in Howth. Better than simply taking a taxi or DART to Howth on your own.

Gerry's Tour is Outstanding!

Gerry is a phenomenal guide who loves what he does. He shares history and highlights of the tour with great humor and expertise. Both of the stops were great, especially the lunch stop in Howth.

Not a must do

Pretty fishing village. Nice views from summit if clear day. Very limited time at stops. Over priced compared to similar priced full dat tours.

Operator response

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We're pleased to hear that you enjoyed the scenery, the fishing village, and the views from the summit. Howth is a beautiful destination, and we're glad you were able to experience some of its highlights. At the same time, we're sorry to hear that you felt the time at the stops was too limited and that the tour did not represent the value you were expecting. We understand that guests have different preferences, and some may wish for more time to explore each location at a slower pace. Your comments regarding the overall pacing and value of the tour are important to us and will be shared with our team as we continue to review and enhance the experience we offer. Thank you again for your honest feedback. Flavius@BigBusTours

Must include in your itinerary

Our driver, Gerry, was extremely knowledgeable and kept us laughing throughout this experience. The breathtaking views of the lighthouse, amazing food at The Oar House, and the information provided by Gerry made this one of the most memorable experiences of our trip to Ireland. You do not want to miss this opportunity.
