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.

This is a full day tour, visiting the World-famous Giant's Causeway UNESCO World Heritage site, with its breath-taking cliff top views. This is a coast rich with cliff top castles, stunning views and endless sightseeing opportunities. Our choice of places to visit include Dunluce Castle, Bushmills Distillery, the picturesque Ballintoy harbour, the magnificent tunnel of beech trees of The Dark Hedges (famous in the Game of Thrones filming), and for those with a good head for heights - a walk over the Carrick-a-rede rope bridge, Our lunch, or on our return journey I like to include a personal place of fun and interest! If your tour is on a day my favourite cafe is open - our lunch stop will be off the beaten track, at an organic goat farm, where we can choose to just lunch, or do a 'Taste and Tour'. This day can be designed around your choices, and the weather, time restraints, active walking or less so, etc.
Lizzie picked us up in a large, roomy van and gave us the insiders tour of the north coast. With family ties in the area she knew just where to go, how to avoid crowds, and a secret beach. Great stories, lots of history, and extensive knowledge of the area made for a memorable day. 10/10 would recommend to all!
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 best full day tour of Giant's Causeway and Derry/Londonderry with Lizzie. She was chock full of information and a joy to be with. She was easy to understand, professional and really knew her way around. We enjoyed her so much we booked her for a tour of Belfast the next day. We highly recommend Lizzie Charley as a tour guide.
