One of the selling points of this trip to my peers and I were being able to feed the seals - however, once boarding the bus, we were told that the tour has not been able to do that for YEARS. Fortunately, we were still able to see a couple of seals in the harbor. Howth was absolutely beautiful. Definitely try to seafood chowder from the little cart along the harbor! And the castle itself was really quaint and neat. Despite the slight disappointment with the seals, everything turned out to be fantastic. Definitely recommend!
This castle was awesome and the trip wasn't too long. Disappointed I couldn't feed the seals even though the description said we would be able to.
The weather was horrible - raining and very cold but our driver and tour guide, Joe was a gem. In his Extreme Ireland bus he looked after us and provided us with an informative and pleasant experience. His knowledge of the history of Irish politics and internal conflicts was impressive and I came away with a much better understanding of why the island is politically divided. It was great being able to walk through Belfast and Joe also took us to see some of the graffiti evidence of past difficulties. Thank you Joe.
This trip was a big disappointment. The bus driver barely said a word on the way to the castle; then, we when we arrived at the castle, we were given a narrated tour by a recording and saw only 5 rooms of the castle. Not a fun trip and not recommended.
The tour guide was wonderful and added a great deal to the tour. I was a little disappointed with the castle itself because we could not take pictures. Had I known that I would have probably opted out since other tours I took included other castles.
This tour is not bad, especially if you only have a few hours to take for a tour. You cannot take photos at the castle, which is disappointing, and there were better castles on other tours, but they are all day tours. So, if you are looking for a half day tour, this one will do, if you have more time, choose one of the longer ones :)
This tour was just okay. I would have liked to spend more time in Dublin Bay.
The trip was cancelled but I could participate free on another one to Glendalough and it was really amazing, our tour guide was really nice and told us lots of information and stories! I can just recommend!
Thank you to Gillian and Noel for a wonderful trip over to Dublin Bay, stopover at Howth and very informative Malahide castle tour with its lovely grounds. Thoroughly enjoyed it. Gillian's knowledge was awesome.
If you are visiting Dublin, this trip is a great opportunity to see more of Ireland and its countryside. The guide was very helpful and knowledgeable. The overall trip was very interesting and was very well worth its price. Highly recommended.
Nice trip to a beautiful castle! The only thing is that we can't feed the seals in Howth anymore... I was disappointed!
The tour was very enjoyable. This was mainly due to the fantastic weather on that day but also to the tour guide who was very informative and good humored.
Nice half day diversion from Dublin. Our tour guide Larry was fantastic!! He was very knowledgable and engaged in the topics and a great conversationalist. The transportation was clean and comfortable.
Fun trip and great scenery. Would like to have had more time to explore the city Knowth. Everything else was well worth seeing.
The bay was gorgeous and the castle was very nice and worth the trip. But the tour guide was very good and friendly and made it worth the trip.
