Great tour of Belfast

Excellent tour with a great local guide. Our group enjoyed seeing a little more of Belfast and learning some of the city's history.

Private tour of Belfast

We prefer, when we can, to take private tours when we cruise. The risk is not knowing the people you are contracting with- will they be there, on time? how competent are the guides? can you contact them if there are problems? Belfast Tours NI excels in all categories. The company responded promptly to every question we had. Our guide was waiting for us at our ship, early. He was knowledgable about all aspects of Belfast history and culture, and was passionate in presenting what he loves about his city and country. We would have absolutely no reservations about using Belfast Tours again should we return. This was the best four hours of our trip.

Excellent Belfast City tour

In-depth Tour of Belfast highlighting its religious troubled period, religion-based segregated neighborhoods, key persons and murals of Belfast, the ship-building quarter, Belfast Castle, and the oldest and loveliest section of Belfast. We recommend tour guide Keith with his knowledge and ability to answer questions.
