Overview of your Dublin tour:

H.G. Wells, author of War of the Worlds, called the views from Howth "one of the most beautiful in the world." If that’s not reason enough to join this tour, read on. While most visitors picture Ireland’s scenic countryside, many overlook its beauty so close to Dublin. Don’t miss out on experiencing it for yourself. Rather than enduring an impersonal, lengthy bus trip to the Cliffs of Moher, join me for a personalized day trip to Howth, a picturesque headland just 30 minutes from Dublin’s city center. Howth boasts stunning coastal views, charming fishing villages, and rich history, from medieval castles to ancient ruins. We’ll take the famous cliff walk, offering panoramic views of the Irish Sea, Dublin Bay, and beyond. Along the way, we’ll explore hidden spots that most tourists miss, like secret coves and tucked-away trails. Afterward, enjoy fresh seafood at the harbor or wander the village, full of quaint shops and cafés. Howth offers the perfect mix of natural beauty, history, and local charm.
