This city tour takes you beyond Dublin’s bustling center and into the quieter suburbs and coastal villages that reveal another side of Irish life. The journey includes a visit to Howth, a charming fishing village with roots stretching back to prehistoric times and deep ties to Irish mythology. Known today as a lively yet tranquil suburb, Howth combines a working harbor with wild hillsides, heathland, golf courses, and stunning cliff and coastal walks. Along the way, you’ll also see the historic Baily Lighthouse, built in the 17th century and famously the last lighthouse in Ireland to be automated.
A highlight of the tour is Malahide Castle, where over 800 years of history are brought to life. Guests can wander its halls on a guided tour, explore the magical Fairy Trail, and step into the Butterfly House to see rare species up close. The beautifully curated Walled Garden offers another treat, with its rich collection of plants and flowers adding color and charm. With opportunities for a short hike, engaging stories, and breathtaking scenery, this tour blends history, nature, and culture into a unique experience just outside Dublin’s city boundaries.

Ciaran was an amazing tour guide! He was super friendly, funny, and made the whole experience so enjoyable. You can tell he really loves what he does. We had such a great time — I would definitely recommend this tour to anyone visiting Dublin!
We had a great tour with Dan today. He told us everything you need to understand the Irish in a fun and engaging way. The tour took us through many interesting places, all with its own special story. We highly recommend starting your visit to Dublin with this tour 🤩
Tour of Dublin with Dan yesterday was Marvellous. Dan was very knowledgeable and thorough about the history of Ireland, and what a great story teller he is. Dan also provided a list of his favourite restaurants, pubs and things to do in Dublin, most helpful. Thank you for your sense of humour and going beyond, best tour guide we have had in all of Ireland whilst on holidays. Thank you
We had an absolutely fantastic time on the “Dark Tour of Haunted Dublin” with our amazing guide Deirdre. She brought the spooky side of Dublin to life with her incredible storytelling, humor and deep knowledge of the city’s eerie history. Deirdre managed to strike the perfect balance between spine chilling tales and fun, making the whole experience truly unforgettable. My wife Nicol and I were completely captivated from start to finish. We laughed, we gasped and we learned so much. Deirdre’s passion and energy made the whole tour feel like a walk through Dublin’s shadowy past with an old friend. A huge thank you as well for all the great local tips. The Irish bars and restaurants you recommended were spot on and really made our evening complete. If you’re in Dublin and want a unique, entertaining and slightly spooky experience, do not miss this tour. And if you’re lucky enough to have Deirdre as your guide, you’re in for a real treat.
The walking tour was amazing! Dublin is rich with history and our guide Dave did a fantastic job of navigating us through the streets of Dublin, taking care to make sure everyone was safe and knew where they were going if they had to leave early. Dave gave very full, detailed insight into how Dublin became what it is today. It was clear that he was a multi-generational Dubliner and he even gave great recommendations for places to eat or things to see once the tour was done!
