As the sun casts its gentle rays over Dublin's cobblestone streets, anticipation fills the air. Your guide, a seasoned storyteller with a twinkle in their eye, meets you at the hotel or the lively bus stop, ready to whisk you away on a journey to Howth. There's a sense of excitement as you board the H3 bus, leaving behind the hustle and bustle of the city for the tranquility of the coast. With each passing mile, you feel the weight of everyday life slipping away, replaced by the promise of adventure and discovery.
As you ascend the winding roads of Howth, anticipation builds with each twist and turn. At last, you arrive at a place where the sky meets the sea in a breathtaking panorama – Howth Summit. Perched atop the rugged cliffs, overlooking the vast expanse of Dublin Bay, stands The Summit Inn, a beacon of warmth and hospitality amidst the wild beauty of the coast. Step inside and feel the cozy embrace of a traditional Irish pub, where tales of seafaring adventures and local legends linger in the air. It's the perfect starting point for your journey, a place where every sip of stout is savored and every moment holds the promise of adventure.

We had a fantastic walk with John Caffrey to Howth. Our Guide is very friendly and has taught us a lot about the history of Howth and about beautiful Dublin. Very nice to have a good Guide. The enthusiasm bursts from it! If you are going to Dublin, book this walk with John Caffrey as Guide.

We had a wonderful day with Mark learning about Ireland and seeing the breathtaking views of the Ireland coast. We learned how to make Irish coffee at a local cafe. The area is beautiful and Mark was so nice and knowledgeable.
