This was my last full day in Dublin - when I first arrived in Ireland, I did the Hop-on-Hop-Off, and loved it. Today I took the Malahide Castle Tour. The Driver, Joe, was wonderful - a true compendium of meaningful history and often hilarious trivia....More
Immerse yourself in the ancient majesty of Dublin’s North Coast on a half-day tour to Malahide Castle and Howth from Dublin. Alongside an expert guide, explore the atmospheric chambers of the 12th-century Malahide Castle and gain insight into the fortress’ 800-year-old history. After touring the castle, delight in the provincial charm of Howth, a quaint fishing village that boasts spectacular coastal scenery. Avail of a free loop of a hop-on hop-off bus tour, Dublin walking tour and an entry to the Little Museum of Dublin on the same day as a part of your day trip.
Departing from Dublin City Centre, the tour takes in the North Coastal area of Clontarf, passing by Bull Island. This is followed by the first stop off on board, in Malahide Castle. Admission to Malahide Castle is included in the price of the tour ticket. Passengers are taken on a guided tour of the Castle and get to discover its long history and the legacy left behind by the Talbot family.
Passengers can then explore the picturesque fishing village of Howth for a short while at their leisure before re-joining the tour. After experiencing the best of one of Dublin’s favorite coastal towns, the tour begins to travel back to Dublin City.
Passengers can avail of one free loop of the Hop-on Hop-off city tour on the same day as they have taken the tour, and a Dublin Highlights and Hidden Corners walking tour.
