Toots, the classic Italian crafted novel road train, is one of the most well-loved and recognisable activities in Malahide. With its red, silver and white trimming, Toots can be seen zooming all over Malahide putting a smile on faces as it whizzes by.

The family-owned and operated business has put down firm tracks in the community since its maiden voyage in June 2013.

Toots is a multi-award winning service receiving the Malahide Chamber of Commerce, ‘Malahide Has It!’ award as well as becoming the number one family activity in Fingal and ranking among the top two things to do in Malahide, along with the Castle and Garden, on TripAdvisor.

Toots also achieved a coveted ‘Certificate of Excellence’ with TripAdvisor.

Both Toots and founder, Michael Place, are known to spread much joy throughout the village with the live guided commentary on all there is to know about Malahide along the way.

A little known fact about Toots is that the happy little engine was named by the local primary school children of Malahide.

The fully inclusive and Door-to-Door Toots trips last 40 minutes in total which now includes the world famous Castle ‘drive by’ through the woods via the west lawn.

Toots routes include a showcase of the award-winning village, a modern village with an ancient heart via the beautiful Marina area along the Victorian terraces before turning onto the picturesque coast road including a stop at its beautiful beach; a starting point for a beautiful coastal walk to the celebrated Gourmet Food Parlour!

Then returning via the iconic Grand Hotel and the heart of the village they call the ‘diamond’ before entering the VIP entrance just for Toots via the northern drive.
