A Fantastic Tour with Martin

We had a great day with Martin. He knows Northern Ireland really well and shared a lot of interesting stories and history without making it feel like a history lesson. He also answered all our questions and was happy to adjust the tour based on what we were interested in. We really enjoyed learning about St Patrick and visiting Downpatrick, and the drive through the countryside was beautiful. There was plenty to see, but the day never felt rushed. We had enough time at each stop and could enjoy everything at our own pace. The Mercedes was comfortable, and having water and snacks in the car was a nice touch. Martin also made the whole day easy, especially with pickup and timing around our cruise schedule. We’d definitely recommend this tour if you’re visiting Belfast and want a private shore excursion with a friendly local guide and a flexible pace.

All about St Patrick.

Our 2nd time using this tour provider and would highly recommend. it was great hearing the history of Saint Patrick. The centre was excellent and the views from Slieve Patrick were amazing. We had a wonderful lunch in The Plough Hillsborough before touring Hillsborough castle and ground. this Royal residence has so much history and is a must see while in N. Ireland
