Customer Reviews
The tour was amazing today. To all of you fair weather cancellers, you missed a great adventure! Thanks to Zack, a great storyteller and passionate historian for lots of things Ireland and all things Howth, and Loki, his trusted companion. Highly recommended!
The Howth walking tour was an absolute highlight of our trip. Zach was a fantastic guide—knowledgeable, friendly, and full of great stories. His four-legged sidekick, Floki, made the experience even more special. The route took us through stunning coastal scenery with truly spectacular views at every turn. It was a fun-filled day packed with fresh air, laughter, and plenty of exercise, leaving us both exhilarated and grateful for the experience. As H.G. Wells said, “The past is but the beginning of a beginning,” and this day felt like the perfect start to more adventures ahead. If you are in the Dublin area, Howth is a must see and this tour is the best way to do it.
Had the best time on the coastal hike with Zack (and Loki). I’ve done countless guided hikes, and he was genuinely one of the best guides I’ve ever met. He was very engaged with our group, made us all feel welcomed, and kept a pace that everyone could keep up with, even gave gracious time for photos. This gorgeous coastal hike was genuinely the best part of my trip, and is a must-do tour for anyone visiting Dublin. I couldn’t recommend Howth Adventures enough :)
