“This was the greatest way to see Howth in Ireland! Even in November, it’s a beautiful hike. We saw rainbows and Missy is the cutest little furry tour helper ever! Mark has so much knowledge, great storytelling and is the perfect company to have for this experience. Best thing of all, he makes a video for you to take home that documents your distance walked with photos and videos of the journey. Definitely worth the price!”

“If you’re visiting Dublin, this is an experience you CAN’T miss. Mark + Missy are the highlight of my entire trip! It was so wonderful exploring the coast while meeting new friends and drinking a cold pint at the end of a stunning hike. I highly recommend this Airbnb Experience ( If you like seafood, I highly recommend the Craft Beer & Seafood Trail With Mark & Missy as well ) Can’t wait to come back to Ireland!! Thanks a million Mark + Missy”
Lilly
“Mark and co-host Missy really brought the Irish village of Howth alive! My wife and I loved the views and the history. The main highlights for me were the cliffs, the seals and having Missy as a co-host. The beer at the end of a nice hike was the cherry on top.
If you are visiting Howth, don’t miss this tour especially if you are a dog lover!!!”
David
“What an amazing day with Mark & Missy. Missy is a dog full of character and soul matching equally with Mark’s story telling. A truly unforgettable experience that really highlights what Ireland and more specifically what Howth is about. This experience is definitely a must do for anyone visiting Dublin since its just a short 30 minute train ride from the city centre. The views were mind blowing and really makes you understand why its called the Emerald island.”
Fabio
“Wow wow wow! Such a great experience! Mark was so knowledgeable of the area and his dog Missy was the best navigator. I think I smiled most of the walk around Howth. I loved hearing about the history of the area and the views are spectacular! Mark even made a little video that I can look back on showing the whole hike with pictures. This hike really exceeded my expectations! So many beautiful views in this coastal town! We had perfect weather to the point that I go t a little sunburnt! haha highly recommend this if you want a day out of the hustle and bustle of the city and just enjoy some coastal winds and views!”
