Overview of your Belfast tour:

It has been said that life's Bread is home, shelter and security, and that the Roses of life are music, education, nature and books. . . On this tour we will walk around Belfast and you will see and learn about the mud, bricks and stones that the city was built upon, hear stories of the people who settled here and see their Churches, public buildings and art. Having lived in Belfast for over 30 years I have a local's knowledge and appreciation of the city and will combine this with my training as a tour guide to make sure you have a memorable visit. You will see some beautiful buildings in a range of architectural styles and periods, from Gothic to Baroque, and from Georgian, Victorian and Edwardian eras. We will also see the work of local artists, whether oil paintings, murals or statues and sculptures. For fans of art and architecture this is a tour you must not miss.
