Hi I’m Conor a fully qualified Irish tour guide. I specialise in private half day bespoke walking tours of Dublin City for families and small groups. My tours are lighthearted and fun. I enjoy telling my guests the funny names we have for our statues and also enjoy singing a song or two along the way. For lovers of the great outdoors I love to bring my guests to Howth, a lovely fishing village close to where I live to take them along the famous cliff walk to see Baily Lighthouse. Contact me for a great half day tour of Dublin City or Howth. I can tailor the tour to your group’s specific interests. Conor

Mark is a born-and-bred Howth local who has spent his life exploring every cliff path, hidden trail, and historic corner of the peninsula. He turned that passion into Hidden Howth Experiences — a collection of award-winning tours that mix breathtaking scenery, proper Irish storytelling, great food and drink, and plenty of laughs along the way. Joined by his iconic sidekick Missy the dog, Mark creates tours that feel less like a formal experience and more like a day out with friends. Guests get the real Howth: the stories locals grew up with, the secret viewpoints, the characters of the village, and the warm Irish welcome that keeps people coming back again and again. If you want a fun, relaxed adventure with a local who loves what he does — you’ve just found it.
