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.

The 3 hour guided walk along the Gobbins cliff path is a journey through time and into the elements. (However, it needs to be noted that this guided cliff walk is dependent on booking availability and then weather on the day. If tickets for your requested day are unavailable, we have plenty to see and do along this dramatic coastline anyway. Guided cliff walk tickets are an extra cost) We will visit Carrickfergus Castle built originally in Norman times, and learn about Carrick's rich histories, the main port and town long before Belfast grew in industry and population. The coastal drive takes us through quaint fishing villages and by coastal caves and cool rock formations, some of which were filming locations for the Game of Thrones. We will have a lunch pub stop. If time permits we can visit the quaint ancestral cottage of Andrew Jackson, the seventh US president.
Pick up is from the airport, hotel or cruise ship. Highlights are Carrickfergus Castle, The Gobbins Cliff path, and coastal drive and the Andrew Jackson Cottage. If the Gobbins walk is cancelled at the last minute due to weather, we will have an adapted tour with more time for the coast and also waterfalls, and can have our own coastal whitehead walk braving the elements! Return to Belfast destination.
