Hello, My Name is Mark I am 45 years old, father of 3 children. I have grown up in Belfast and lived through over 24 years of violence and have got to enjoy 21 years of 'Peace'. I have been a Tour Guide now officially 16 years and unofficially from I was 11 years old, when I would walk the 'hard core tourist' through the streets of my city during the violent times, showing them the reality of the conditions that we lived in. Up to the present time I have worked in many movies everything from driving cast and being 'a Lead Action Driver' onset. I have looked after some of the most famous people on the planet from Morgan Freeman to Conor McGregor! The list is endless but my main passion lies in my country, I can guarantee that a day trip with me will be a tour you will never forget!. In 2019 we looked after the sponsors of the Open Golf championships in Royal Portrush. I also work for a Chauffeur Company in Belfast and I am fortunate enough to Chauffeur many celebrities about our wonderful city.

I like to specialise my tours around tourists' best interests and be flexible in every way including time! If there is one thing that I guarantee with my tours is that you will not be unimpressed with my enthusiasm and love for my country I am deeply passionate about my country and people and how we survived through our troubled times and always had a great sense of community throughout those times.

We thoroughly enjoyed our tour with Mark. We specifically wanted to learn more about the history of "The Troubles" and Mark was able to give us a personal view into what life was like during that time having lived it. His enthusiasm about his city shone through throughout the tour. We particularly appreciated his tip to visit the Titanic Hotel. It was wonderful to be able to explore the ground floor of this historic building. We ended our visit to Belfast with tea in the hotel lobby! Thanks Mark!

Mark gave us a personal look at Belfast during the Troubles as well as providing us with an overview of Belfast as it is today. He even threw in some surprise stops that made the tour memorable. He was excellent and we highly recommend him for his knowledge, professionalism, and courtesy.
