What a wonderful 2023 it has been sharing my homeland with travellers from all over the world. I am a true Northern Irish person born and bred here and delighted to share my homeland with you. I am a local accredited guide experienced in working as a step-on-guide for visiting coaches to the top attractions namely Belfast City (warts and all), Giants Causeway, Antrim Coast, Armagh - St Patrick's chosen city and more! I am a country girl living on a working farm with my husband and enjoy traditional cooking using local produce. Love rural traditions, folklore and music and enjoy an odd glass of Guinness! Love to travel "off the beaten track" and step into those parts of Ulster where the landscape is dominated with small working farms and traditional villages. A great opportunity to meet the locals and enjoy homemade food. These hidden places also reveal much of our Celtic heritage with tranquil standing stones and hill forts dotted all around. Knowing the countryside and its past allows us to enjoy a stroll down some of the narrow lanes leading to pre-famine tumble down homesteads. Irish Linen is still manufactured locally here - more automated than in 19th century but still a well sought after cloth in use today on many dining room tables. Having lived through "the troubles" of Northern Ireland many visitors are keen to follow the colourful politics of this land through the modern picture books - wall murals. An interesting tour capturing our past and present. The University of Life has left me with a lot to talk about! Come and join me in a lively interactive tour. See you soon? GREAT NEWS FOR 2022 - I NOW HAVE A TOTAL OF 30 AUDIO WHISPERS FOR WALKING TOURS SO EVERYONE GETS THE MESSAGE! Qualified Blue Badge Guide (Level 4)for all of Northern Ireland also Board Failte Local Guide. Member of BRITISH GUILD OF TOURIST GUIDES AND APPROVED TOURIST GUIDES OF IRELAND

A day or half day in Belfast travelling and mixing with the locals all in the company of your Guide Biddy! Enjoy the opportunity to have fun while embracing the Belfast culture & history.
Meet up at your cruise ship terminal in Belfast with me and enjoy an easy going flexible public transport tour of Northern Ireland's Capital City with your interests at heart! Ideas: We can easily use the "glider" to take a short trip to view our Parliament Buildings, Stormont; stop off for coffee at nearby C S Lewis Centre & Park or my favourite S D Bell, Tea Rooms. Take time to stroll around our world famous Queen's University complex and into Botanic Gardens or indeed the Ulster Museum. Lunch with the students in Botanic Avenue! Into the City Centre to enjoy some of the local landmarks ie City Hall, Crown Bar, Linen Hall Library with coffee in my favourite low key off the beaten track place. Stroll the cobbled streets of "old Belfast" and stop in one or two of the many old pubs along the way. A spot of bargain shopping certainly a must before we return to your ship. Share your thoughts before the tour to enjoy your time in Belfast. This tour can be either a 4 hr half day or 8 hr full day tour.

Belfast has its very own Cruise Pier. Once you step of your ship you pass through a small Information Centre and straight out to meet me standing with my signage displayed.
