Great few hours out!!
I went on a tour with a group of friends in May 2026. Stevie was very informative, entertaining and charismatic. I would highly recommend him for something a little bit different.

An enjoyable& informative tour for anyone interested in the city’s history
Having worked in Belfast for many years I thought I knew the city but this walking tour gave me a whole new found appreciation of the old buildings that stand proud beside the new. Stevie is very informative and extremely knowledgable. His enthusiasm for history makes the city come to life and it was so engaging the time flew past. The best way to explore a city is definitely on foot and going with a tour guide that has such a wealth of knowledge about the people and industry that shaped the city makes this an absolute must for anyone interested in learning about Belfast
A great tour
A brilliant and entertaining experience. Stevie is a font of knowledge. A great tour all round. Would recommend
