Welcome to Belfast Folk. As a professional tour guide and lifelong resident of West Belfast, I am passionate about sharing the history, culture, and character of this remarkable island with visitors from around the world. I hold OCN Level 2 and Level 3 Tour Guiding qualifications, am a member of Tour Guides NI, and a tourism partner with Visit Belfast. My local knowledge, combined with professional training and a genuine enthusiasm for Ireland, allows me to create memorable private tours tailored to each guest's interests. Whether you are interested in Belfast's political history, the Titanic story, world-famous murals, Irish culture, traditional music, local food and drink, castles, museums, or the breathtaking scenery of the Causeway Coast, I will provide an experience that is both informative and enjoyable. From Belfast's historic streets to the Giant's Causeway, Dunluce Castle, Ballintoy Harbour, and the spectacular Antrim Coast, I enjoy bringing each destination to life through stories, history, and local insight. My aim is not simply to show you the sights, but to help you understand the people, traditions, and events that have shaped Ireland. Every tour is private, flexible, and designed around your interests and pace. Whether you are visiting for a few hours, a full day, or longer, I am committed to providing a professional service and a truly authentic experience. For me, guiding is about more than sharing information—it's about creating meaningful connections, memorable experiences, and lasting impressions of Ireland. I look forward to welcoming you and helping you discover the very best of Belfast and Ireland. Thomas ☘️ Private Tours of Belfast & Ireland 🇮🇪

Explore the Breathtaking North Coast of Ireland My guests have the chance to experience the stunning North Coast of Ireland on an unforgettable journey through some of the island’s most iconic sights. We begin at the dramatic Dunluce Castle, a clifftop ruin steeped in history and famous as a filming location for Game of Thrones. From there, we venture to the mythical Giant’s Causeway, where ancient legend and geology combine to create one of the world’s most unique landscapes. Next, we head to the charming Ballintoy Harbour, another Game of Thrones favourite, where the rugged coastline meets postcard-perfect scenery. For those in search of a thrill, the Carrick-a-Rede Rope Bridge offers an exhilarating crossing with panoramic views that are second to none. To end this awe-inspiring day, we visit the enchanting Dark Hedges, a hauntingly beautiful tunnel of trees and yet another real-life Game of Thrones location — the perfect final chapter to an epic Northern adventure.

Thomas was the perfect host and tour guide. He was knowledgeable, charming and so very accommodating concerning our daughter had broken her ankle just before traveling to Ireland. He was kind, patient and took great care of us every step of the way. He had great recommendations regardless for so many things and we would highly recommend Thomas as your guide!
We had a wonderful experience with the County Antrim Giant's Causeway and Game of Thrones location tour. Our guide, Thomas, was prompt, enthusiastic, and brought great energy to the entire tour. We really appreciated the places he selected—they felt thoughtful and gave us a great sense of the area. He was also flexible and adapted the plan easily when the weather didn’t cooperate, which made the experience even more enjoyable. He also arranged lunch at a spot that was absolutely delicious, which we really appreciated. Overall, a fantastic tour that we would highly recommend.
In October, Thomas took us on a most memorable Northern Ireland tour of The Giants Causeway, The Dark Hedges, and the Deluce Castle. The scenery was spectacular and Thomas snapped photos of us along the way. He was a knowledgable, thorough, and entertaining guide. Our family of 4 (including two 20-somethings and two 60 year-olds) had a marvellous time the entire day. In Dublin Thomas showed us a political mural in which he is featured when a child and gave us real insight into the conflict. The background of the guides through Tours by Locals is invaluable and we all highly recommend Thomas for your Northern Ireland tour.
Thomas was an excellent guide. He made our day fun and he was very knowledgeable.
Thomas did a great job of touring Belfast. We started with a tour of inner Belfast and Thomas did a great job of describing some of the struggles over the last 40 years and talked about how the strife has been put to rest. We then toured the country side and saw some of the historic sites including some of the sites where Game of Thrones was filmed. Thomas has the gift of gab and kept us well entertained the entire tour. Thank you
