Belfast is in our heart. Thanks to DC Tours & Eugene

We booked a private ‘A History of Terror' Tour for August, 6th. On DC Tours (Mark Wylie): very responsive and service minded. We weren’t sure on our hour of arrival, especially because we weren’t aware it was the Fleadh-festival - thanks for pointing that out! Mark/DC Tours were very flexible and understood our concerns. He gave us all the necessary information and tips. This gave us a lot of confidence in booking the tour with them! On Eugene - our guide. We had a blast! Eugene is a very calm and charming man. He took his time (also because we had to translate his explanations to our kids) to tell us everything and answer all our questions. The tour should have lasted for 2 to 2h30, but we ended up to 3h. He had no urge to finish in time: he wanted - and we as well - to be as complete as possible :-) We had a very good time with him walking through the city. We learned a lot about Belfasts’ history and present situation. All the info came in a neutral way and no question remained unanswered. It was top notch and we enjoyed our stay. We definitely advise to pay a visit to Belfast! And when you do so you absolutely need to book a walk with DC Tours (and ask for Eugene).
