A very cheerful and informative tour, at our own pace , with a cup of coffee thrown in. I would highly recommend my tour guide Andrew for tailoring the tour to suit me ,and giving a insight into the character s of Belfast you would not normally hear about on other tours.
This walking tour is all the more enjoyable as Andrew peppers the historical narrative with his own experiences of life in the city. His gentle humour and easy manner make this walking tour the perfect choice for getting a real feel of the place. We'd highly recommend that it is included in any visit. Don't miss out!
Andrew is a superb guide. Takes a different approach to the typical laundry list of names & dates we quickly forget on these tours. His personal experience growing up in Belfast made the tour very personal and the added inside info about the Titanic interesting & helpful when we visited the Titanic museum the next day. Andrew has a lovely way about him - you won’t be disappointed in you take this tour with him.☘️
I can’t recommend this tour enough. Andrew was very friendly, engaging & passionate about Belfast & its history. We also visited places we would never have found on our own!
I had the fortune to meet Andrew for a trip in Belfast and beyond this beautiful city I discovered a real professional and a man with big, big heart. He know every corner of Belfast and during the trip give to you interesting stories about the city, humor and empathy. A real delight, highly recommend!
We had an amazing tour of central Belfast. Andy is so knowledgeable and a true local. He gave a balanced view of the fascinating history and was able to give detailed answers to all our (many) questions. He catered to a range of ages and interests, keeping everyone engaged. A true delight, highly recommend!
Always try and do a walking tour when visiting a city to get the best overview. This one of Belfast was easily one of the best we’ve done. Andrew was a great humorous guide who struck a delicate balance of keeping the tour upbeat and informative whilst dealing with some of the cities troubled, yet fascinating past, including his own personal experiences. Would highly recommend to anyone looking for a ‘real’ walking tour of Belfast.
Brilliant tour — full of laughs and stories Had a great time on this tour. The guide was funny, warm, and full of really interesting personal stories about Belfast. Felt more like walking around the city with a mate than being on a typical tour. He clearly loves the place and knows it inside out - you get a real feel for the history, but also loads of local bits you’d never find in a guidebook. Would definitely recommend if you want something a bit more genuine and relaxed.
