What people are saying about Belfast

Absolutely fantastic. Jim’s detailed knowledge of history generally is incredible, especially local history for Belfast, but he also knows details about wider European history which relate to the history of Belfast. His laid back personality and kind nature also helped me relax and enjoy the tour. This tour was scheduled for 1.5 hours (which is longer than other tours) but we packed that much in, we ended up running to 2 hours. I could have stayed all day, it genuinely was fascinating. I also felt very safe with Jim too, because I am not a local to Belfast (I’m actually English) and these murals are in the heart of the areas where the troubles were. So Jim put me at ease with his friendly nature, he literally said hello to everyone walking past, he seemed to know everyone. Would recommend to everybody - for a tour of Belfast - definitely choose this one.

Our driver Jim was excellent, not only very knowledgeable and was able to impart this so we were able to fully understand. A genuinely really nice guy who went above and beyond - we thoroughly enjoyed this tour with Jim

An amazing tour of Belfast with Martin. He was very knowledgeable and passionate about the history of Belfast with great stories and personal encounters from the past. I would highly recommend a trip for all.

Joseph Lyons was a brilliant guide, he was very informative. We were a group of 4 and had come up from Dublin for a night, it’s well worth going on this tour.

Great information and very nice guide. Amazed at the murals and memorial gardens.
