This tour is the perfect introduction to Belfast. Join me as we walk around and explore my home town in a guaranteed small group tour.

Discover the highlights and hidden gems with a born and raised local and highly experienced guide. The tour delivers captivating tales of Belfast's progression from ancient times to modern day: from tribal wars to the modern, vibrant and multi cultural city I am proud to call home.

Walk the old lanes as we wander from the bustling Victorian town to the17th century and beyond Belfast and learn of its rise from an ancient river crossing settlement to the greatest industrial city in the world.

This is the history of Belfast, we go beyond the "Troubles" as we celebrate our beautiful city and its achievements.
