Congratulations on finding the profile of one of Ireland’s highest-ranking tour guides! My name is Adam, and for over a decade, I've had the privilege of guiding guests through the beautiful Emerald Isle. Having toured over 80,000 people to Ireland’s most iconic destinations, I can assure you that you're in safe hands when you book a tour with me. I was born in Dublin and raised in the scenic county of Laois, where my passion for Irish history and culture began. This curiosity led me to travel across Europe, and beyond, to places like Turkey, Vietnam, and the United States. It was this love of learning and discovery that ultimately steered me toward a career in tour guiding. While many of my friends pursued more traditional paths, I chose to follow my heart and immerse myself in the study of history. That decision led me to tour guiding, where I discovered my true calling. Over the years, I’ve guided tours at some of Ireland’s most prestigious sites, including Kilmainham Gaol and the National History Museum. Tour guiding is more than a job to me - it's a passion. Spend just a few minutes with me, and you’ll quickly see how much I love sharing the rich history and culture of Ireland with others. I’m eager to offer you an authentic Irish experience, tailored to your interests and needs. Since joining ToursByLocals in 2019, I’ve had the pleasure of helping guests from around the world experience Ireland in a unique and personal way. Whether you're interested in history, culture, or scenic beauty, I’ll ensure you have a memorable time. Here’s a quick snapshot of my credentials: • Master’s Degree in History & Media (UCD) • Bachelor’s Degree in History & Politics (UCD) • Fáilte Ireland Certified National Tour Guide. • Lecturer of National Tourism Award. • “Travellers’ Choice Award” from TripAdvisor (2021-2025) • Over a decade of experience guiding in Ireland. I’m happy to accommodate your schedule, interests, and any special requests you may have. Please don’t hesitate to contact me - I look forward to helping you experience the best of Dublin and beyond. Céad Míle Fáilte (one hundred thousand welcomes), Adam

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.
• Start at Howth Castle, with its fascinating connection to the legendary Irish Pirate Queen, Gráinne Mhaol. • Visit the second largest dolmen in Ireland, an ancient burial site steeped in history. • Hike up to Muck Rock for breathtaking views of Dublin City and County. • Stroll through Howth Quarry before enjoying a break at 'The Summit Inn', Ireland's highest pub. • Descend to the harbor via the scenic cliff walk, with stunning views of the iconic Bailey Lighthouse. • Explore the childhood home of Nobel Prize-winning poet W.B. Yeats. • End the tour at Howth’s charming harbor, where you can watch seals come in for their daily feed.
