⸻ I am a professional Belfast-based tour guide with a lifelong connection to the city and its surrounding coastline. Born and raised here since the 1980s, I combine local knowledge with formal training in tourism and hospitality to offer engaging, well-researched, and authentic guided experiences. I hold OCN Level 2 and Level 3 qualifications in Tour Guiding, and I am a member of Tour Guides NI as well as a partner of Visit Belfast. My approach is built on professionalism, clear storytelling, and a deep understanding of Belfast’s history, culture, and ongoing transformation. Belfast is a city that has evolved significantly over recent decades. Today, it stands as one of Europe’s most interesting and welcoming destinations, known for its layered history, distinctive architecture, vibrant cultural scene, and warm hospitality. It offers visitors a unique opportunity to explore both its complex past and its dynamic present. I specialise in private, tailored ToursByLocals experiences, including historical and political tours, street art and architecture, cultural and local life tours, Game of Thrones filming locations, the Titanic Quarter, and full-day excursions to the Giant’s Causeway and the Antrim Coast. Each tour is carefully designed to provide accurate insight, meaningful context, and an enjoyable experience delivered at a relaxed and professional pace. My focus is on quality guiding, clear communication, and helping visitors gain a genuine understanding of the place they are visiting. I look forward to welcoming you to Belfast and providing a memorable and insightful experience.

    Thomas was an energetic and engaging guide. He explained the events of The Troubles thoroughly and welcomed questions. The murals we stopped and studied were an equal mix of the Falls and Shankill. We’ve talked about our experience several times this past week - it’s that impactful. Highly recommend this tour.
