Great

Owen is a great guide! Overall I think the tour is great though I wish we’d spent more time on the cliffs than in the harbour, overall great experience.

Halfday bliss to coastal Howth and back to Dublin

Perfect half-day trip to experience the coastal town of Howth! Loved our young and talented driver/guide Owen who gave us the right amount of history, quiet/music, a lovely stop just before Howth to walk a mile-ish loop (if you want) along a high-spot Oceanside trail! We then had 75 minutes to enjoy Howth. He sang us a delightfully authentic lullaby (with a twist) near our farewell spot. Perfect and highly recommend!

Operator response

Thanks Owen!

Great experience and worth the money. Highlight of the trip was definitely Owen the bus driver and tour guide, he made this trip so much more fun and enjoyable while also providing historical information about Ireland.
