    Overpayed for not that good a tour
    B_v, Sept 2022
    We ordered a tour with four friends for a total of 140 euros. We thought it to be a bit steep, but it was the only guide left when ordering the day before. During the trip John tried to get all people we ran into to join the group in the hope of getting a tip and most importantly to get people to join his pub crawl. But okay c'est la vie. Then the tour... John the guide spouted a bunch of nonsense with a small fact in it. He admitted himself most of the stories were made up. Me and my friends preferred historical information about Howth, but that was severely lacking. In general we were not amused
    Fun and friendship

    A favorite tour of the trip. You will make a best friend at the end and have an incredibly beautiful walk around Howth. Not to be missed!

    Howth hike
    Janet_C, Jun 2022
    I had hurt my knee and John tailored our walk so that I could manage it comfortably. We appreciated John’s knowledge of the history of the area and our off the beaten path hike to the lighthouse view and through the woods. Yes, Ireland has the best display of rhododendrons ever!! We loved our hike and John and had a great meal at the Bloody Stream after then John walked us to the train to Dublin-he was a great guide!
    A beautiful magical place

    JOHN, our guide, is MAGIC! He exceeded our expectations and gave us a most memorable experience. With his wonderful Irish wit he entertained us with fantastic tales told with poetry and song. Clearly a man who loves his native land and everything in it. We had a great time!
    Wonderful Day

    Great day with John. He really tried to make sure it was a special day for everyone. It certainly was.
    Lovely walk around Howth! A must do!
    WaioliSue_B, Apr 2022
    Had a lovely walk with John! Surprisingly one of my favorite activities on our Ireland trip. John has vast knowledge of Howth, his thorough overview of the history of the peninsula was so interesting. And throw in some storytelling and poetry, and it made the whole walk go by quick. (Sorry and thank you again to John for waking up a bit early for us!!)

    We had an amazing time with John on our walking tour of Howth. Charming, funny, witty and friendly are all ways to describe John!! The scenery was absolutely beautiful and I am so very grateful that we were able to see such a sight. I would definitely recommend the tour.
    A wonderful day!

    A beautifully spent afternoon

    We had a fantastic time on this tour. Our guide John gave us history, lore and humor. The sights were beautiful on this moderate cliff hike. I would highly recommend this tour.
