Bus tour of Belfast. Interesting and impartial

I live in Derry, was shopping in Belfast, and decided to go on the big red double decker, for a tour of the city. The tour was excellent, very enjoyable. The driver was called Gary, and the lady guide was called Lisa. She was lovely, very friendly, knowledgeable, and 100% impartial. I would recommend this tour, very good value, and you can see parts of Belfast, away from the city centre shops. Thank you, and well done Lisa and Gary, keep up the good work !

Worthwhile hop on hop off bus tour

It's a great way to see a lot of Belfast in a short time. Make sure to listen to the commentary which is really informative. We stayed on the bus for the full route but there are plenty of stops if you have time to see some of the interesting places.
