Howth Walking Tours

"We couldn’t recommend John more! He was easily the highlight of our trip. The Howth walking tour was so much fun and he is very knowledgeable on all things Ireland. We also did the pub tour with him which was filled with so much history and fun stories! He even was able to organize a special lunch, and for us to see the cliffs of Moher. Absolutely a great time and a fantastic guy!! Would give more than 5 stars if I could."

"Words cannot fully explain our experience. John's only mission is to share Ireland's magic with any and everyone he meets. We recognized that right away and trusted him and his knowledge, which completely changed our entire trip for the better. After meeting John, we were able to see Ireland from a local, historical, and purposeful perspective. From Howth Cliffs, Dublin pubs, the Cliffs of Moher and beyond, we had an incredible time with John. We learned, we laughed, we ate, we drank, and built a connection to last. We will definitely be recommending John to anyone that visits Ireland. Looking forward to next time. Thanks for everything, John!"

"I was looking for a tour in Howth well before my trip to Ireland. I am so happy I found John’s tour. I decided to go with him because he is a certified guide and because he has a heart of gold. It’s important for me to have a guide who really knows his history and who tells good stories. Because John has his ATGI - Approved Tourist Guides of Ireland - I knew that he was well trained. But beyond just knowing his history - John tells great stories! They are better told by the man himself! The tour is really an experience. There’s a reason almost everyone in the town of Howth stops to say hi to John - because they love him! You’ll get to meet some new friends along the way because John is very connected to the community of Howth. So if you’re looking for the perfect tour, look no more, the man they call the man, is a great man from Ireland. Go walk the stunning cliffs of Howth, to see the beauty for yourself, and have a laugh and make a friend, it’s a great day for you that I highly recommend."

"Me and my friend had a walking tour with John the Man after running into him outside of the train station, and I can honestly say it was one of the best parts of my trip to Ireland. He connected us to the history of Howth, giving us context and information that made the peninsula that much more amazing. The breathtaking views and friendly people were a huge part of the trip, but this walking tour brought the culture of Ireland to life in a way I never would have experienced otherwise. Truly one of my favorite moments in Europe thus far. If you are lucky enough to run into John, spend time with him and let him take you on a journey in Howth that you will never forget."

"A friend highly recommended John the Man's Howth Walking Tour -- and I'm so glad she did -- it was a highlight of our trip to Ireland. John reached out the day before our tour to make sure we had everything covered and knew how to get to him by train. He met us at the station with a huge smile and took us on an unforgettable adventure through the myth, history, and beauty of Howth. John has a deep passion and respect for what he does and makes sure everyone is included in the experience; a natural storyteller with a hospitable, deep heart. My favorite part was our short hike to see the lighthouse (and when John recited some lovely poems for us by heart). Thank you for creating this memorable experience for us! :) Will absolutely book again when in Dublin. Until next time, John! - Love, the Jersey Girls"
