Hello and welcome to Belfast!
My name is Lizzie, and it is my great joy to share the beauty and history of the places I love - our dramatic coastlines, hidden rural walks, historic castles, and hidden heritage gems.

I'm passionate about our heritage and stories, with my ancestral connections to many of the families whose industries shaped Belfast - the Titanic, Northern Ireland's shipbuilding and linen industries.
I also love the outdoors and hiking.

I live in the green rolling hills of County Down. I grew up as a child in Northern Ireland; then studied, worked, and lived in England, Canada, and Australia, before returning home.

As a well-travelled tourist, I appreciate how visitors love to meet some interesting locals, and feel they have experienced something special and different, beyond the main visitor experiences. I like to "pay forward" the welcome that I, myself, have received abroad.
I have had many visitors to stay over the years, and always so enjoy showing them my country - that I thought why don't I do this as a job!

I have on-going fun also tour guiding at a National Heritage Site, as well as organising events here.
I have taken various walking tours in and around Belfast, Line of Duty TV Drama tours, some coach tours and driver guided tours within Northern Ireland.

I am a fun, energetic, sociable character, and I love meeting people and finding out their own stories too.

I am a fully insured Level 4 tour guide, a qualified Driver Guide, and a professional storyteller, and I work in collaboration with many other local guides.

I am happy to tailor-make a bespoke tour to requests and requirements.

At my special place, this National Heritage site, Ballycopeland Windmill.

Travel west into County Antrim, visiting your ancestral homelands, in the townlands of Aghagallon and Ballygallon and where Lizzie McManus's homestead was, and to the shores of Lough Neagh (the largest inland lake in the British Isles).

Travelling on further west into County Armagh and to visit Dan Winter's House, dating from 1623, an amazing find off the beaten track.

Our return journey takes us into County Down, for a pub lunch in the pretty town of Hillsborough with Hillsborough Castle, Northern Ireland's Royal Residence.

Travel West - and travel into three counties - Down, Antrim and Armagh - half day private tour

This panoramic tour is a great introduction to Belfast and allows you to visit all Belfast's top visual sites, while hearing about life in this colourful city, both the past and present.

Discover how Belfast became a world leading city during Victorian times, and hear about the creators of the Titanic and the legacy they left to our city. Sign a Peace Wall and learn about our troubled past, yet see how Belfast today is a vibrant city that people choose to live in and tourists love to visit.

Drive into County Down, through our rolling green hills to see more - off the tourist beaten track.
