Mark McHale
Mark is a born-and-bred Irish local who fell in love with Howth and its wild coastal beauty — from dramatic cliff paths to hidden corners most visitors never find. What started as a passion for exploring and storytelling turned into Hidden Howth Experiences — a collection of award-winning tours blending breathtaking scenery, rich local history, great food and drink, and plenty of laughs along the way. Joined by his iconic sidekick Missy the dog, Mark creates experiences that feel less like a formal tour and more like a day out with friends. Guests get the real Howth: local stories, secret viewpoints, colourful characters, and that warm Irish welcome that keeps people coming back again and again. If you’re looking for a fun, relaxed adventure with a local who genuinely loves what he does — you’ve just found it.

Michael Reaney
With three decades of living and working as a Project Manager in tourism development in Ireland and various European and Asian countries, I now work as a freelance Tourist Guide/Driver curating personalized experiences for clients in Ireland. Hailing from Connemara, I'm a native Irish speaker. Living abroad significantly enriched my global perspective, fostering a deep appreciation for diverse cultures and people worldwide. I am now keen to share my enthusiasm for Irish history, culture, and heritage to visitors exploring my homeland. Recognized by the Irish Tourist Board as both a regional and national tour guide, I drive a luxurious SUV, accommodating up to 3 adults alongside myself as the dedicated tourist guide and driver.

Creagh Travel
Hi I’m Lloyd Creagh, founder and lead guide at Creagh Travel, I find that each tour of Ireland is not just a journey, but a deeply personal experience. There is no greater pleasure for me than guiding tourists around this enchanting island, sharing the wealth of knowledge and experiences I’ve gathered over the years. Every corner of Ireland has a story to tell, and I take great joy in bringing these tales to life, whether we’re standing on the rugged cliffs that watch over the Atlantic or wandering through the cobbled streets of quaint villages steeped in history. My passion for Ireland’s heritage, its natural beauty, and its vibrant culture is something I eagerly communicate to every group I lead. For me, the most memorable moments come from seeing the awe and delight on the faces of travelers as they discover something unexpected, whether it’s a hidden waterfall, a local folk tale, or a panoramic view that takes their breath away. My aim is always to ensure that each visitor leaves with a deeper understanding of Ireland and a collection of unforgettable memories.

Annette O’Malley
Achill is home - and my family has called the island home for over 700 years. As the local Aíre for the O’Malley Clan Association and an indirect descendant of Grace O’Malley, the Pirate Queen, I have so much love for the island’s history, stories and people. I’ll take you beyond the usual tourist trail to discover Achill’s spectacular beaches, viewpoints, hidden corners and fascinating local history…the best coffee and places you might otherwise drive straight past. Think of it as a whistle-stop tour with a friend who knows the island from the inside. Come and see Achill through local eyes. 💚

Ultan O Reilly
Most tours in Galway walk you around for an hour and read you dates off a wall. That’s not what this is. My name is Ultan. I’m from Mayo, I’ve lived in Galway for six years, and I left a full-time job to do this because I’m a people person and this is what I love. Simple as that. Stroll to the Stout is built around one idea, the best way to understand a place is to do what the locals do. Pour a pint. Hear some trad. Watch the GAA. Talk to someone who actually lives here. The pint you pour yourself. The Polaroid you take home. The GAA. None of it is manufactured for tourists. It’s just Galway. Fáilte Ireland accredited, ITOA approved, and the only operator on the west coast of Ireland doing this. No headsets. No scripts. No passive afternoons.
