Review of the Howth Coastal Half-Day Bus Tour from Dublin, with cliff views, village free time, lively guides, and practical weather tips.

“Loved this trip to Howth. Wish it was slightly longer so I would have had a bit more time to explore the shops, but it was a really great time. Jerry was our tour guide and he was fantastic. His knowledge blended perfectly with his great jokes. (Just don't be late getting back to the bus or you might get left.) Would definitely recommend for someone with limited time in Dublin who wants to get out of the city and see some great views of the Irish coastline, a cute little town and eat some delicious seafood. One tip, get to the bus early as the 2nd floor of the…”

“OK, where do I start. Nikki who did the tour and her teammate who is responsible for setting up the booking were nothing short of fantastic. I was 15 minutes late due to travel and they more than accommodated me having the Group wait 15 minutes to make sure I made it. When I arrived, I was paired with four guys from England and we had a glorious day around the island. It was sunny, which even took it up to another level and Nikki was very knowledgeable about all things Howth because she grew up on the island, knew a lot about history, and was full of great experiences…”

Review of the Howth Safari Hiking Tour near Dublin, with cliff paths, sea caves, scones, local stories, practical tips, and value advice.

“Awesome experience with our amazing guide, Dee! Glorious blue skies and views all day. Easily the highlight of our trip to the Dublin area. We are experienced hikers but having a guide made all the difference. Dee made the hike what it was, an informative and thrilling telling of the history and culture of the area and took us through less traveled trails. She was knowledgeable and kind and knew the flora and fauna of the region well. She was very accommodating and made sure everyone was comfortable during the hike. Remember the importance of proper footwear and bring enough water, food and snacks. It is a full half day…”
