Lovely orientation to Belfast!

Amy_S, May 2024

We lucked into a tour for just the two of us. Our guide was very informative as he led us around Belfast explaining the history of Ireland and particularly “The Troubles”. Thank you!

A superb tour, can not recommend enough. Very interesting insight into the city, tales and history. Enjoyed by myself and the kids. Tour guide Steve was excellent, a really great guide

Very informative walk....

Virginia_C, Nov 2023

Very informative walk. Nice pace. The group met across from the gate at the statue, not where originally told to meet our guide. It gave us a good foundation for our few days in Dublin.

Steve was a great guide. I learned a lot about the history of the city and got some good exercise at the same time. He also made a good recommendation for a restaurant that I went to after the tour for lunch.

A must do walking tour of Belfast

Philip_B, Jul 2023

This is a brilliant walking tour. Our guide James was very knowledgeable and gave us a real insight into growing up in Belfast. He also added extra sights which as a Line of Duty fan, I really appreciated. Do this tour early during your visit to help you orientate yourself around the city.

Great Historical Tour

Sharon_G, Jul 2023

This is a GREAT Tour. Steve is an excellent historian and was able to share the wonderful history of Belfast. Headsets were provided so there was no problem hearing everything and the tour was nicely paced. I grew up in Northern Ireland but I learned a great deal of new history on this tour. We would very much recommend this tour.

Brilliant Belfast walking tour

Elizabeth_M, Aug 2022

James was an excellent guide on this fascinating walking tour. It was great to hear about the history of Belfast from someone who was born and raised there and had lived through some of the events he talked about. He was very entertaining and friendly and seemed to know everyone in the city😂. He showed us lots of interesting places and buildings.

Fun and informative

Rachel_D, Jul 2022

Steve was a fantastic tour guide. He was very knowledgeable and funny and the tour was fascinating. Steve really made sure we learnt a lot about Belfast. This walking tour is ideal. Should be the first thing you book when you arrive in Belfast.
