Highly recommend a walking tour with John The Man. It was an unforgettable journey. John is truly one of a kind. He’s a great poet, story teller, tour guide, comedian, photographer and more! This was my first time visiting Ireland and honestly this walking tour has been my favorite thing so far. If you have the opportunity to take this tour, DO IT. The adventures that will unfold will create lifelong memories.

We had an incredible time with John ! We discovered a marvellous wild nature and we learnt so much about Irish history. John is the best guide we could possibly have. He is kind, funny and he cares about the people he meets. He loves his job, Ireland and above all people ! We will never forget this experience and from now on we will definitely never forget names such as "Skerries", "Malahide" or "Rush and Lusk". Thank you John the Man ! "Steph"

John the Man was an excellent guide, informative, humorous, caring, and delightful! Our mixed group of 6 women presented challenges to him but he made the trip easy and good for all. I thoroughly enjoyed the cemetery stop with its beautiful moss-covered stones. The hike was a gorgeous view of the sea but somewhat scary. John held my hand since I’m afraid of heights and made sure the other fearful person kept her eyes straight ahead while all the time he encouraged us to talk about unrelated topics. Others in the group scampered along with no trouble! John explained Eire 6 as being part of the signal to WWII aviators. Very interesting bit of history that is being saved. After the walk, he recommended a nearby restaurant with lunch of fish and chips. John the Man is a wonder and I highly recommend him!

We had the absolute pleasure of exploring the beautiful village and landscape splendor of Howth with a fantastic tour guide. John the Man was not only extremely informative and well versed in the history and culture of Ireland and Howth, but also brought great energy and lots of fun and playful banter. We became friends with him by the first minute of meeting him. I highly recommend booking with John for your tour of Howth. You will be pleased with everything you learn and he shows all the beautiful sights for some great photos! Thanks John!

John the Man is an exceptional Irish tour guide in Howth! His cheerful personality and friendliness create a warm atmosphere. His captivating stories are both entertaining and informative, providing a delightful insight into Howth's history. The cliffside walk to the Howth Lighthouse, guided by John, is a wonderful experience, showcasing the beauty of the area. Overall, he adds a delightful touch to the trip, making it one of the highlights of our visit to Dublin.

Lovely experience with John on our first day in Dublin. First off as we arrived for the tour my son from Michigan landed after a serious delay. John quickly asked when we first met at the Howth meeting point if it would be okay to pick him up and include him. The tour was exceptional, John was enthusiastic and an entertaining guide. This review was delayed due to the death of my mom. But as I think back on his tour my family and I fondly remember his love of Ireland and our time with him.

Wow! Our family was lucky enough to get a walking tour with the John, and it proved to be a highlight of our trip. John was so very friendly, funny, considerate and knowledgeable about Howth and Irish history generally. John has the gift of gab, and is just generally a really nice guy too. We had much more fun than we expected to - laughed a LOT - and learned a lot about Celtic/Gaelic and local area history on our breathtaking walk. We highly recommend Howth and the Cliff Walk with John!!

What a pleasant surprise of a tour. We just got off the DART in Howth and John just started a lovely chat with us. When we were wrapping up he told us he does tours and say he would do it for a pay what you think the value was. Of course I was skeptical inside but John was such a blast we said let’s give it a try. Boy am I glad we did. This was a fantastic walk and John was great mixture of entertainment and information. We got a lot of history of Howth and Ireland and also the little nuggets you don’t get just walking by yourself. Got us to a couple of fantastic points to take pictures that were a little off the path but totally worth it. I would highly recommend John and his tour to anyone going to Howth.

John and Conor even gave us a video of the walk afterwards. Stunning views from the edge of the ocean.

John The Man’s Howth Cliff Walk tour was amazing! Our group thoroughly enjoyed his narrative of the surroundings and he lent us along the way his personal and favorite poetry reciting. He even led us to a local pub part way through our journey for a bite to eat. I had booked this tour based on the reviews and I realized straight on why folks raved about it. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for making our group's last day in Ireland so memorable.

John the Man! Excellent tour guide and very knowledgeable and funny. After knowing that I have done the cliff walk the day before, he was very accommodating and changed the route and took me off the beaten track. And even saw Aideen’s grave!

John The Man was brilliant, knowledgable, funny and wise. We probably wouldn’t have completed the walk without him. It took us around 4 hours but time went quickly as did the distance as we chatted on our journey. Shared a nice relaxing drink at the end and had some tasty fish and chips at the restaurant on the quay. Would definitley recommend and will be back soon.

Excellent walking tour of Howth with “John the Man”. He is fourth generation from Howth. Enough said! Weather was sketchy on the peak of the hill, and it was still a wonderful tour. Highly recommend.

Thank you so much John for touring me around Howth! It was a privilege to be in a solo tour (because the other tourist moved their tour on another day). John let me explore the most scenic places in Howth! Worth the price. :)

John is a very entertaining and knowledgeable tour guide. He took us literally off the beaten path for some stunning views of and from Howth on a beautiful sunny day. He quoted poetry and chatted to other visitors we met along the way. I would thoroughly recommend this trip. It was great fun.
