Mark was a wealth of information. He gave us both the historical and current information regarding the troubles in Belfast. He also gave us his personal journey through the troubles, which made it feel so much more real. We traveled through the countryside of Antrim and stopped to see young boys curling, Mark started conversing with them and we got a sample of what curling is. We then went on to the seaside for a delicious lunch. From there onto the Giants Causeway which was a gem to see! Because there was interest in our group on the titanic he made a special stop at the place where the Titanic was dry docked. He went on to tell us the stories of the Titanic and Olympia. It was fascinating! Mark was amazing! He made a long tour day personal. I would highly recommend him and this tour! He’s made me want to go back to Belfast for an extended visit!

Mark M was excellent. He was extremely knowledgeable about Belfast. Only regret is that we wish that there was more time to visit sites. We had to be back to ship early. Have to come back and let him show us around again.

Mark Murphy is the perfect tour guide for Belfast. His knowledge of the area and the history of the city for the last 50 years is extraordinary. We spent an entire day with Mark and enjoyed every second.
Mark met our group of 7 at our cruise ship and gave us an excellent tour. His vehicle, snacks, and water made us all comfortable and well cared for. Mark has so much personal knowledge about Belfast and the surrounding area. We visited the Giants Causeway in style and all had a great tour. Thanks, Mark, for sharing your world with us.
