The youngest of 12 children, an impassioned storyteller and accomplished guide, With an unwavering commitment to sharing the captivating stories of Belfast and its tumultuous history.

My approach to guiding is rooted in empathy, impartiality, and sensitivity. I believe in creating an inclusive space where visitors from all walks of life can come together to learn, understand, and reflect on Belfast's history without bias or preconceived notions.

    Joe was extremely knowledgeable, he actually lived through the Troubles. He took us to where he grew up at the time where fighting took place literally outside his front door. We also stopped at all the major points of importance related to the conflict. Amazing tour, deserves even more than five stars!

    Our tour of Belfast and The Troubles was so moving. Joe was the best. Before the tour, he communicated clearly and promptly. He met us straight away and drove us to different locations of interest. He told some of his own story and that of his mother and friends. It was emotional to see actual sites in person. I am so glad that he is giving these tours and sharing...
