It is a tour to spend the whole day, with which the guide makes every effort to ensure that the group interacts and enjoys. We will do a totally unknown route for tourists, very typical of the inhabitants of Howth, so that magic essence is maintained throughout the tour. Movie landscapes, fairy tales, hiking and fresh air in a special group. Are you going to miss it? The route is about 11 km and we cross forests and climb to some summit, so it is essential to have appropriate footwear to walk through the field (sneakers or hiking boots). We will also have a picnic in the forest (food not included).
