Hi, I'm Paul – a proud Belfast native and one of the city's biggest ambassadors. Born and bred in Belfast since 1980, I’ve spent my life immersed in its rich history, vibrant culture, and unique character. There’s truly no place I’d rather be, and nothing I love more than sharing the stories of this incredible city with visitors from around the world. After 18 years in the engineering industry, a redundancy in 2017 gave me the chance to reinvent my path – and I took it as the perfect opportunity to follow my true passion: becoming a professional tour guide. I spent nearly three years in part-time education, earning tourism and hospitality qualifications from Belfast Metropolitan College and the Open College Network. Today, I’m a fully certified guide with six years of experience, a head full of stories, and a heart full of pride for my hometown. Belfast is a city reborn – once troubled, now thriving. It’s a safe, welcoming, and culturally rich destination, filled with stunning architecture, powerful murals, fascinating history, and some of the friendliest people you’ll ever meet. Whether you're here for the craic or the culture, there’s always something to discover. I offer a variety of engaging walking and driving tours, including: Political & Historical Tours Street Art & Architecture Famous Pubs & Local Legends Game of Thrones Filming Locations The Giant’s Causeway & Scenic Drives Family History & Genealogy Tours I'm a member of Tour Guides NI and hold OCN Level 2 and Level 3 Certificates in Tour Guiding, along with multiple WorldHost qualifications in customer service. As a father, I believe in the power of sharing – and nothing brings me more joy than sharing Belfast’s stories with curious minds and open hearts. Join me, and let’s explore this extraordinary city together.

Paul had great knowledge of the area and was able to work his way around the tour busses in the most popular area. He also gave us great perspective on Belfast and the troubles with stops at some of the important locations in history.
Paul was very flexible when our port stop was changed the day before to Derry,. Paul was on time at the new port location and laid out a new tour schedule for us. Paul is a fun and engaging tour guide with many stories. I would recommend him and would use his services again when we are back in Northern Ireland.
I cannot say enough good things about Paul! We have been cruising for 40 years and he is one of the BEST tour guides we have ever had. We were a party of four (2 couples) who visited Belfast on a cruise 8 years ago. The day started out with a stop at the Titanic museum, then a drive through downtown Belfast where we saw things we hadn't seen before. We wanted to go back to Giants Causeway. It was a completely different experience this time. Paul actually walked down to the rocks with us & pointed out features we would have missed. We then went to the Belfast Castle, again a new stop for us. Paul took lots of pictures of us everywhere we went. It was a day filled with many unforgettable memories. Paul is very knowledgeable, very personable, and a very safe driver. I felt like we ended the day with a new friend. I HIGHLY recommend Paul...you won't be disappointed.
