Mark McHale
Based in Dublin
Dublin
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.

Mary Sol Casado
Based in Cork
Cork, Dublin
Greetings! I moved to Ireland back in 2013. After living here for 13 years, I've come to love this country as my own (Venezuela) and really enjoy sharing my knowledge on the Irish history and culture. Nowadays, I live in Cobh and definitely came here to stay. Besides having stunning scenery worthy of countless social-media posts, Cobh is one of the most important and interesting local attractions I love to show my guests: its historic links to the Titanic and Lusitania make it a must-see in Cork and Ireland. Painting, writing, travelling and making music are some of the things I like to do during my free time. I also enjoy translating books and documents on Irish history because this is a great way to gain more knowledge. Upon moving to Ireland, I've specialised in tourism for large and small groups. In 2021, I became a certified national tourist guide. I can fluently speak three languages: English, Spanish and French, but I've had the opportunity of guiding people from all over the world, as well as other locals. It is great to see and compare the different perspectives of tourists and guests from far-away countries. What I enjoy the most is that I always end up learning something new.
