Belfast Walking Tour

Michael war ein super Guide, der uns viele interessante Informationen nicht nur über die Stadt, sondern auch politische und gesellschaftliche Gegebenheiten näher brachte. Die Pubempfehlungen waren spitze.

The three hours of the tour were very light for me principally because of the good interaction between Jessica and the group. It is true that we were only 5 people in our group and that made it easier for Jessica to have better communication with us. I recommend this tour because not only the history of Belfast is explained, but legends and stories of its culture. Moreover, Jessica suggests good places to spend the rest of the day, enjoy the views of the city and eat economical Irish food. Good luck Jess!

Brian foi incrível, super simpático, paciente e preocupado com todos! O fone e o microfone dele foram um diferencial super bacana :) Consegui entender a dinâmica da cidade e me apaixonar ainda mais pela história de Belfast. Super recomendo!

Amazing tour with a very knowledgeable guide! We had the best time with Michael, who not only provided us with the history of Belfast, but many great recs!

An excellent walking tour. Entertaining and very informative.

Fabulous. Interesting, entertaining and powerful. 6 stars!

Michael was such a fantastic tour guide! It was great getting knowledge from a true local. The tour was very informative, he also gave lots of great recommendations for places to eat and drink. Highly recommend doing this tour when you’re in Belfast! Thanks so much Michael, we loved it!

Excellent tour of Belfast!

Michael was great! He was energetic and his knowledge of Belfast and its history was outstanding. He was a great story teller and his enthusiasm was infectious. We loved every second of it. Thanks Michael!

:-) OUTSTANDING TOUR :-) We travel extensively and do "free walking tours" wherever we can find one. We were here today in Belfast just for the day as part of a cruise (Holland America) in the UK and Ireland. Michael's two-hour tour of Belfast was outstanding in so many ways. First of all, he's just delightful to interact with. He explains things well, is keen on answering questions, and managed to keep the group entertained and physically together as we navigated the areas around busy downtown Belfast. Yes, we saw iconic landmarks, but we also heard about the history of the places, how they got their names, as well as some interesting tidbits about each. Michael did an especially good job of weaving together historical background with current information, something which we find important in good tours that are not too heavy on historical facts or too heavy on lighter, more entertaining information. Personally, I found the information on the early industries that shaped Belfast to be very interesting, and I enjoyed hearing more information on the background for the period called "the Troubles," which Michael aptly pointed out was not just about one issue. Two of us in the group are teachers, so we liked when Michael talked about the 4 different types of schools (this was in response to a question on whether or not people study Gaelic in school... very interesting to this teacher!). Michael, THANK YOU FOR A REALLY GREAT TOUR! You represent Belfast well! (P.S. For those visiting on a cruise ship, as we were, your cruise bus most likely leaves you only 4 blocks from where the tour begins and 0 blocks from where the tour ends -- yep, you end at City Hall, which is where the ship buses arrive/depart. Very convenient!)

Michael is very passionate and engaging and personalised the tour based on our requests.

Most informative and enjoyable. Highly recommend 👍👍

Me and my family’s first activity after arriving in Belfast — it was great! Michael’s tour is a perfect blend of entertaining and informative while allowing for a more interactive experience. He’s also super open to questions about other historical topics and willing to give good food and pub recommendations too. My family and I would have never seen or known half of the places we’ve visited along the route of the tour if it weren’t for him. Thank you so much for such an enjoyable experience! :D

Great walking tour, very informative and fun. Highly recommend you this tour!

Very authentic

Barbara was fantastic 🤩

It is a must tour in Belfast, you will be surprised!

Jess was an excellent tour guide. Very knowledgeable and touched on different aspects of the cities history as well as modern day life as well.

We spent a wonderful two hours listening to the colourful and rich history of Belfast. Sharing stories and personal anecdotes Michael helped us to understand life in Belfast both in the past and today. We highly this tour.

The tour with Michael was an absolute highlight of our stay in Belfast. We visited key historical sites and Michael's insights into the current political situation in Belfast were very informative. The spontaneous end in ‘the deer's head’ for the ukulele jam was awesome! 100 points for Michael :)

The tour with Micheal was our first activity after arriving in Belfast. Highly recommended to get a good overview and impression of the city. Micheal made the tour interesting and entertaining, was open to questions and the conversations with him were very nice. At the end of the tour, Micheal showed us a wonderful pub where we spent the evening. The tour with Micheal is highly recommended!

Michael’s tour was the best Guru walk tour I’ve ever done. It was informative, entertaining and lots of fun. Not only did Michael impart his knowledge of growing up in Belfast but he took time to get to know everyone in the group and we discussed differences and similarities between our countries. We ended the tour at The Deer’s Head and were entertained by the Belfast Ukulele club, great fun and memories made. Thank you Michael.

Michael was a fantastic tour guide! His energy and charisma made the tour so enjoyable. I brought my cousins from the States on the tour and they had a great time too. I lived in Belfast for > 5 years and still learnt so much from the tour. Michael’s very knowledgeable about Belfast and you can tell he’s got a lot of love for his hometown. You’ll not find a better guy to show you around :)

Such a fun experience! The guide Jessica was amazing, informative and super fun! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

An authentic experience that is fitting for Belfast... Michael not only provided a platform in connecting the dots in past historic events but also sharing current social issues. In midst of the renaissance of the city, he showed enthusiasm that is vital to the growth of both the city and its people. Thank you for such enriching walking tour.
