Howth Puppies & Pints Tour 5/6/25 - My husband and I did the Puppies and Pints tour in May with Patrick and Tilly, the dog. It was a beautiful day. The hike is very scenic. When the tour was complete, we enjoyed a pint at The Bloody Stream Pub as a group and shared some laughs. This was one of the highlights of visiting Ireland. Howth is so pretty and great for picture taking. Thank you for such a wonderful experience. We have told our whole family about this tour. Best, Christine & Mike

Fun Outdoor Adventure - Fun and interesting tour of Howth with insider knowledge and great cliff views! Paddy was fun and knowledgeable, it felt like taking a hike with a friend! Easy to get to by DART train. The pint at the was well-earned and refreshing with great company! The hike was what you would expect in Ireland, mildly challenging but very doable for adults of any age.

Great and easy excursion from Dublin. - A great way to spend a day in the Dublin area. Easy hop on the DART train to Howth and immediately greeted by Patrick and Tilly to embark on our walk through the lovely town and then a stunning coastal hike.

History, Scenery, and a Four-Legged Guide – A Must-Do in Dublin - We weren’t quite sure what to expect when we signed up for our first group adventure with the Dublin Coastal Hike, Pints, and Pups experience — but it turned out to be absolutely outstanding, and we have no regrets! Howth is a charming seaside village, easy to reach from Dublin yet feeling like a world apart, with its peaceful atmosphere, stunning coastal scenery, and warm, welcoming vibe. Our guide, Mark, was engaging, knowledgeable, and full of entertaining stories, bringing the history and legends of Howth vividly to life. His adorable pup, Tilly, was the perfect hiking companion, proudly leading the way and stealing everyone’s hearts. The hike itself was refreshing and filled with breathtaking views, and we wrapped up the adventure perfectly with a hearty lunch and some delicious pints at the cozy Bloody Stream pub. Sharing the experience with new friends made it even more memorable. I highly recommend this experience to anyone who loves fresh air, beautiful landscapes, good conversation — and of course, four-legged friends along the way!

Amazing experience - stunning views and a great tour!! - Wonderful and personalized way to experience the Howth Cliff Walk! Great fun for our whole group, which included three teenagers. Mark was a gem - witty and lovely and engaging. We all loved his tales, he took amazing photos for us, Missy his little dog was a big hit, and the area is stunning. We did a private tour as wanted to go later in the afternoon. Timing was perfect and I highly recommend a group or private tour with Mark. I have been to Dublin serval times but never to Howth and I cannot recommend it enough. The area is impossibly beautiful and rugged. It’s hard to believe it’s so close to Dublin. We took an uber to Howth (based on timing) and the DART back. The DART is so fast and easy and my teens were less than a euro per ticket! The tour ends with a drink of your choice at a cozy pub - we opted for Irish cider and Guinness and sodas for the teens. A perfect day!

Highlight of Ireland Trip - Mark & his wife, along with their dogs were absolutely amazing. The tour was planned to perfection. The stops along the way were beautiful, and full of information. At the end of the hike it was so special to share drinks and dinner and continue conversation about Howth and our families. I can't recommend this tour enough!
