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.

We had a terrific tour of Belfast with Lizzie. She is knowledgable, responsible and fun. We highly recommend Lizzie!
We were amazed by the tour Lizzie created for us! She researched and made arrangements for unique experiences, as I was hoping to learn about my grandfather's home. I had sent all the information I knew, including the address from the 1901 census, and she found where the home had been. It meant so much to walk around that neighborhood and see the history. Combining these personal touches with a historical tour exceeded our expectations!
My husband and I feel extremely lucky and grateful to have had Lizzie as our guide for 3 tours. Lizzie took us on one full day tour each of Ards and the Causeway and a 1/2 day tour of Belfast. It was a tour unlike any we have experienced in our many years of travel because we got to meet and get a feel for the people who live in these fascinatingly different places. She was able to share with us not just the sites but the essence of what makes each of these regions unique. She, like the tour she provides, is a gem. Lizzie is smart, caring, flexible, and fun. She quickly figured out our interests and tailored the tour to meet those interests. We had a wonderful time touring these parts of Ireland with Lizzie. If you have the opportunity don't miss Northern Ireland and don't miss having Lizzie as your guide
My husband and I had the most educational, informative and enjoyable half-day tour of Belfast with Lizzie. We learned so much about the environment in Belfast and Northern Ireland and came away with a much better understanding the "Troubles" there. Lizzie went above and beyond the role of a tour guide and we would highly recommend her as a tour guide.
OMG! Lizzie was absolutely fantastic! On top of her speaking fluent English, she was personable and so much fun. Her history of the city and her personal family connections to everything about Belfast and the Titanic made this tour even that much more interesting. Another reason why she rates even more than five stars is that we asked to be dropped off at the Titanic Museum instead of being taken back to the ship. She parked her car so she was able to actually walk us into the museum. When we found out that they were solidly booked, she went above and beyond what we booked her for and spent an additional hour or so showing us other places that had to do with the Titanic. I can honestly say our tour with Lizzie was the highlight of our cruise!!!
