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.

For my tours I have no restrictions.

The Ards Peninsula, is my home territory that I love to show off and share. We follow the less trod tourist routes to become immersed in Irish history, heritage and crafts. Travel along the shores of Strangford Lough, the largest sea inlet in the British Isles, and a designated Area of Outstanding Beauty. Experience what it was like to work as a miller in the nineteenth century, at the only working windmill left in Northern Ireland. Take a walk through time with the farmer, the kilnsman and the miller, and climb the windmill to discover the incredible precision engineering of the inner workings of the mill. Visit and meet locals, to learn Irish traditional craft skills, such as spinning wool, weaving and knitting. Lunch in one of Ireland's oldest pubs. Drive along the coastal road to visit to the grand estate of Mount Stewart, and its outstanding gardens, and the quaint village of Greyabbey with its specialist antique shops and a Cistercian monastery dating from 1193. This tour is customizable.
