VIP Tour to Malahide Castle & Howth with Coastal Highlights
Overview

Mobile ticket
If you fancy getting out of the busy city and seeing some of the lovely harbour villages along the coast, then this is the tour for you!
This tour has a bit of everything - village life, cliff top views, markets, fish and chips, manicured gardens, butterfly houses and even medieval history.
During this tour we will take in the villages of Howth and Malahide, and will see how they have changed over the years as well as what has remained unchanged.
One of my favourite spots that I'll take you to is Malahide Castle. I have many fond memories of playing football on the grounds of the castle lands as the owners of this estate where very open to visitors. I'm sure not many people except royalty can say they got to play football around a castle!
For more anecdotes and a taste of life outside the city, look no further than this tour!

Malahide and Howth!

5.00Gerry is a great tour guide. He is experienced, knowledgeable and, as we soon discovered, quite a personable chap. He's a safe driver. His van is comfortable and in great mechanical condition. He's also flexible when it came to our tour - we asked if he'd make a stop that was not on our tour itinerary and he was all for it. He showed up right on time and was prepared to provide us with a great tour. He's not the cheapest, nor is he the most expensive but his tour was competitively priced and provided our group with a memorable tour and some good craic to boot! PLEASE BOOK WITH CONFIDENCE! We highly recommend Gerry Murphy's tour services - 5 stars. Thanks Gerry!
Pat is the greatest!!

5.00Pat was incredible. He personalized the tour for my mom and I. She has mobility issues but he too great care with every step of the way. He has so much knowledge and takes pride in what he does. It was a truly special day.

5.00Jerry was awesome. He took us around the Howth penninsula, giving us short hikes and exactly what we wanted. Malahide castle was a highlight of our whole trip in Ireland.
