Itinerary
We start of our tour at the Giants Ring on the outskirts of Belfast. Here we will give you a timeline for our history and where better to do this than at ancient monument predating the pyramids to a time around 5000 years ago
Travel into south Belfast with its lovely houses and a look around Queens University which is a beautiful building
A visit to the peace walls helps to explain and put in context the conflict that took place in Northern Ireland from the late 60s that most are familiar with. We show you both sides of the divide and give you a historical unbiased overview of the city
This area has a fantastic history with beautiful buildings and monuments right around the city centre. Now a lively tourist area with many bars and restaurants we can drive around this area and see the sights.
Construction started in the late Victorian era and city hall was built to celebrate Belfast gaining city status with its mighty industries of shipbuilding and linen production being the best in the world. You will have time to stroll around its grounds and see inside this magnificent building and the area around it.
Stop at the titanic Museum visiting the shop and seeing where Titanic launched from. We also see one of the last surviving battleships from the First World War and the mighty cranes from Harland and Wolf shipyards who built the Titanic We then pass through into East Belfast where we see some examples of Victorian Belfast and some more murals depicting the troubles from the British perspective.
The beautiful grounds and building known as Stormont, built in 1921 and opened in 1932 is next on the tour where you can see inside with its Greek classical style opulent marble. This building was formed as part of the new governance of Northern Ireland after partition and has a great history. We then finish the tour where you will have seen the best of the city past and presented hopefully a great understanding of our rich history.

Traveler reviews
Our tour was absolutely...
Our tour was absolutely delightful. Trevor, our guide, was so knowledgeable, friendly and kind. It was one of the best tours we have experienced.
A wonderful tour with a great guy!
Trevor was amazing! He welcomed us to Belfast and quickly went about explaining what life was like. We mentioned that we had been to Derry and he took off from there with a great deal of information and perspective. We’re not museum people, so drive-by views of a few spots were all we needed. He did put Belfast into a political, religious and economic perspective that we never knew. He’s bright, witty and very knowledgeable. You would be fortunate to spend a few hours with him.
Fantastic, comprehensive...

Knowledgeable and Friendly
Trevor was extremely knowledgeable and friendly. He showed us all sides of Belfast both good and bad. Ride was very comfortable. If we are ever back in Belfast, we would ask (insist) on him again.
