Traveler reviews
So interesting !
Martin, out guide, was very knowledgeable and held our small groups interest and attention. Knowledgeable on all aspects of Ireland/Belfast history and gave great overview of how and why it is the country it is today. Very engaging and think we all learned a lot, in the three hours wonder around city centre. Highly recommend this walk.
Best value for money in Glasgow
Martin was like being with a walking encyclopaedia only a lot more fun! An incredibly detailed knowledge of Belfast delivered in a very balanced and relatable way, what a legend!
Well worth the time
Martin was an awesome tour guide! He gave a vast overview of Belfast and Ireland’s history and the associated complexities to provide a well rounded overview. We weren’t sure about a three hour tour but we found it very interesting and the time flew by! Would highly recommend, thanks for having us Martin 🙂
Fantastic walking tour in the Belfast city center!
What a wonderful tour with Martin! He’s very knowledgeable about the city and he presents the facts in an entertaining and relevant manner. He even gave us a summary of what we saw and learned as well as suggestions on pubs and restaurants. We took his recommendation on visiting Madden’s later that evening and it did not disappoint! Cannot recommend Martin more!
Fantastic walking tour of Belfast
As a tour guide myself, I wanted to learn about the real history of Belfast and Nothern Ireland, and this tour with Martin exceeded my expectations. Martin is a fantastic guide, very knowledgeable, born and bread in Belfast. He took us to Belfast iconic sites as well as hidden gems and shared fascinating stories and facts. We learned so much and could stay for more. Time went really fast. We fell in love with Belfast. Would highly recommend this tour to anyone wanting to discover Belfast in an interesting and engaging way. You would want to return for Martin’s other tours.
