One of best tours with an excellent guide. Martin definitely knows his stuff. Highly recommend.

Published on Mar, 2025

This was a birthday present for my sister. We are both born and bred in Northern Ireland and we have never ever been on anything like this before. Martin was an excellent tour guide. His wealth of knowledge is amazing. Every thing about this tour was perfect. We absolutely loved it and Martin is so interesting. He spoke so eloquently and clear and knew just how much detail to include inorder to keep us intrigued and wanting more. The small group tour is definitely the way to go. We highly recommend Martins tours.

Highly Recommended!

Martin is extremely knowledgeable about the history of Belfast as well as personable in his presentation. His perspective was balanced and he really lent understanding to the long and complicated story of this city.

Extremely knowledgeable guide and wonderful tour

Published on Mar, 2025

We had a walking tour today to end our trip to Belfast. We wish we would have done it sooner! Martin is absolutely phenomenal. My group consisted of people of all different appreciations for history yet we all thought Martin’s tour was hands down the best tour we have done in Ireland. The amount of knowledge he has is impressive, and we left having such an appreciation for Belfast and the Irish people. Highly recommend!

Best Belfast

Published on Mar, 2025

As a resident of greater belfast, I have always been eager to learn more about the industrial heritage of the city and the beautiful buildings within it. Martin was very polite, charming and witty with his informed presentation throughout the walking tour. I would, and will be highly recommending Martins walking tour to anyone who wants to know more about our complex, rich and vast history in the beautiful city of Belfast. Thanks Martin.

Three hours well spent!

Published on Feb, 2025

Martin is a hugely knowledgeable, experienced and passionate guide . The three hour tour passed very quickly and he told the Story of Belfast in a user friendly and genial manner.
