Hello and welcome - my name is Murat. I'm 51, a proud father of three wonderful daughters, and Belfast has been my home for more than 26 years. I love this city, and I never tire of sharing its story. My journey began in 2010, driving a Black Cab through Belfast City Centre. Day after day, talking with visitors and watching their faces light up, I discovered a real passion for guiding - and I have never looked back. Today I offer private luxury tours in a comfortable Mercedes-Benz V-Class, so you travel in style and arrive relaxed. What I love most is bringing the history of Northern Ireland to life, meeting people from all over the world, and sharing the magic of the Giant's Causeway, the North Antrim Coast, and the famous Game of Thrones filming locations. Over the years I have designed a range of private luxury Belfast tours and day trips that showcase not only the city's murals and landmarks, but also some of the most breathtaking landscapes and coastlines anywhere in Ireland. My most popular experience is the Giant's Causeway Tour from Belfast - a carefully crafted day taking in the Giant's Causeway, the Carrick-a-Rede Rope Bridge, the Old Bushmills Distillery, Dunluce Castle and much more. A private tour really is the best way to explore. You set the pace, shape the itinerary, and enjoy every stop exactly the way you want. It is ideal for travellers with limited time, guests visiting from the Republic of Ireland, and cruise passengers hoping to make the very most of their day ashore. Travel is a passion of mine, and I know every traveller is different. So while these are my most popular tours, I am always happy to tailor any experience to suit you. Whether there are 2 of you or 20, a private luxury tour offers an exclusive, personal and truly memorable day for you, your family or your group. Larger groups are welcome on request. For your peace of mind: - D.O.E. approved - Fully licensed cab driver - P.S.V. vehicle certificate and insurance - P.S.V. licence holder for 12 years - Fully licensed operator - No restrictions It would be my pleasure to take you on a journey through the many incredible places this beautiful country has to offer. I look forward to welcoming you.

See the best of Northern Ireland in a single day on this private tour combining the natural wonder of the Giant's Causeway with the powerful history of Belfast city. In the morning you will travel the Causeway Coastal Route to the Giant's Causeway, Northern Ireland's only UNESCO World Heritage Site, with its 40,000 basalt columns, taking in the Dark Hedges of Game of Thrones fame, the clifftop ruins of Dunluce Castle and the scenic harbours of the Antrim coast. In the afternoon we return to Belfast for a guided tour of the city's living history - the Falls and Shankill Road murals, the Peace Wall, Clonard Monastery and Crumlin Road Gaol - with your guide sharing honest, balanced stories of the Troubles and the peace that followed. Completely private and paced around you, it is the perfect way to experience both Northern Ireland's coast and its capital in one unforgettable day.
The entire experience was Fantastic! Murat was incredible! Entertaining, knowledgeable, accommodating and just a great soul. It has and been our greatest experience of the entire 11 day tour. Thank you Murat and we’re looking forward to when are paths cross again. God Bless, Be Well and Safe travels ! And take care of them Girls !
Our group of six spent a very pleasant day with Murat. He is punctual, informative and accommodated making certain we saw sites on our not to miss lists. He knew the right place for a delectable lunch. He made certain we were back to the cruise ship port on time.
We had a wonderful day with Murat, first travelling the Antrim coast to Giants Causeway and then touring the sights of Belfast. Murat was very knowledgeable and we learnt alot from him especially about the history of the 'trouble' in Belfast, coming from the other side of the world we hear only what the press want us to hear, so it was very refreshing to hear both sides.
My wife and I spent 3 weeks touring the United Kingdom and Ireland and in most Ports arranged for our own private guides. This generally provides us with a much better and more inclusive experience. Using ToursByLocals for the first time met all of our expectations. Murat was an excellent choice -- his knowledge of the areas we wanted to see, his accommodating personality, flexibility in making changes as we toured, and comfort of the tour experience was top notch. Thanks Murat. 5 stars to U.
