We stand on the very spot where the Titanic and her sister ship Olympic were built and hear stories of her construction and get to know the passengers and crew who sailed on her tragic first journey.
We finish the tour at the Hotel which has a amazing heritage museum dedicated to Harland and Wolff.

Titanic and Maritime Walk - Steven put on a wonderful tour for my wife's 60th birthday - he brought the whole Titanic Quarter to life and it was amazing to see some of the original Harland and Wolf offices in the Titanic hotel - highly recommended 😁
Loved our tour with Steven. He was so knowledgeable about the area and its history and made a real effort to engage everyone in our group. He even adjusted things to cater for passing showers! Highly recommend!
We had a fantastic tour with Stephen from Hometown Tours and I can honestly say it was excellent from start to finish. The content was clearly very well researched, highly relevant, and incredibly interesting throughout. You could tell a lot of thought and knowledge had gone into the tour, and it really added depth to the experience. What stood out most was the passion Stephen brought to the tour. His enthusiasm for the subject matter was obvious and made everything engaging and enjoyable for the whole group. He also managed the group extremely well, keeping everyone together and making sure things ran smoothly at all times. Whenever it was needed, he provided clear health and safety advice, which was reassuring and showed a real level of professionalism. All in all, a thoroughly enjoyable and informative experience. I’d highly recommend Stephen and Hometown Tours to anyone looking for a well-run, engaging, and memorable tour.
Thanks so much for review of the Titanic & Maritime Walk along the Maritime Mile and delighted you enjoyed it
Excellent tour, highly recommended. We met Stephen at the clock at 10 o'clock on Friday morning, he was friendly and full of information. We all had our own earphones and Stephens voice was very clear. Over 2 hours of walking around Titanic learning new things was money well spent. I would def recommend this tour

Thanks very much for review of the guided tour of the Titanic in Belfast. Delighted you had a good time
A fantastic morning spent with Steven. My mother & I had a lovely walking tour around Belfast dock learning the history of Titanic, Olympic & how/where they were built. I really enjoyed visiting HMS Caroline, the last remaining ship from the WW1 Battle of Jutland. We both aim to visit the original Harland & Wolff headquarters again. Steven brought us around the now restored to original style room where the Titanic was designed. The headquarters is just beautiful to have a coffee is, hours could be spent reading all the bits displayed through. Thank you so much Steven for being so informative & friendly. We throughly enjoyed ourselves. I fully recommend this walking tour.
We took part in Stephen’s walking tour today and thoroughly enjoyed it. He had a wealth of knowledge on the area, its history and he was very interesting. The tour was most comprehensive and covered a number of stops around the titanic quarter including access to The Titanic Hotel. We had an opportunity to step back in time. Our grouping was made up of blind/visually impaired people and we were very impressed with how Stephen was able to adapt and accommodate our specific needs for us to get the most out of the tour. I would recommend this walking tour. You will not be disappointed - 5 stars !
