Best way to spend a day in Howth - I was looking to spend time outdoors during my trip to Ireland, and I’m glad I found this tour - it was one of the best tours I’ve done. Paul guided us all around Howth and shared the history and stories of the area throughout the trip. It’s not the easiest hike, but the different landscapes and seascapes are an incredible reward. Paul’s two dogs also kept us entertained throughout the hike, and four hours flew by quickly. I will definitely do this hike again if I return to Howth.
