Hello Folks, My name is Pat l'm a married man with a grown up family, I was born and raised in Belfast and that is still where I call home. I have been a cab driver for many many years and during this time I have had many great and not so great experiences, Belfast has had its " moments " as they say here, but the city has changed tremendously over more recent years and has become a must see tourist attraction for thousands of visitors so the fact that im now giving tours, to our ever increasing numbers of tourists, seems like a natural progression . I can now offer a range of tours to suit all our visitors, the unique marble arch caves is a really enjoyable tour thats just that bit different, the ever popular city and troubles tour and of course the Antrim coast and world famous giants causeway, as part of the causeway tour I can now include our" Game of Thrones" connections. Game of Thrones tours specializing in filming locations are available on request, Over time I have learnt that people have very different ideas and needs, and I go the extra mile, literally, to ensure my guys enjoy and take away a positive perception of the North. Over the years as a guide I have been privileged to meet some well known personalities and have enjoyed showing them around the city, but what im really proud off is that im one of only two Belfast guides to be listed in the exclusive travel guide Lonely Planet and also more recently recomendations with Trip Advisor. There is no doubt Belfast and the beautiful North coast of Ireland is now considered a must see by many seasoned travellers and I would be extremely happy to show our future visitors our little corner off amazing Ireland. P S while the tours that are listed are most popular other tours can be customised to suit your requirements we will try to make it possible always thankyou. 1-7 pax can be accomadated , Mercedes 8seater provided. Welcome host guide and winner of the award of excellence 2011-12 for tourism ,Lonely Planet recommended 1of only2 ,Trip advisor multiple awards ,NITB recommended.

This was my most anticipated day of our 18-day trip, and Pat came through for my husband and me!! I read LOTS of reviews for private guides and decided on Pat after so many gave him top reviews. Communication, although understandably affected by time zone differences between Ireland and the U.S., was prompt, professional and friendly. He answered all my questions, and was prepared to share the wonders of the Antrim Coast, rope bridge, and Giant’s Causeway. It was all we expected and more! Though we had some major traffic on our way due to unexpected runners apparently participating in some kind of festival, Pat was able to take us via other streets and we were back on track in no time. He is very knowledgeable and suggested a couple of extra stops along the way, including a delightful little place where we had a delicious lunch. We were a bit disappointed that he would not join us, as we enjoyed his company; but I understand his professionalism. I am quite late in writing my review, as we took this tour over 2 months ago. But, he deserves the commendations. I will always treasure our trip up the beautiful Antrim Coast!

Neil is an outstanding knowledgeable guide and very flexible to ensure we had the best day in Inverness. He worked hard to make the day meaningful and relevant to our interests. Many thank!

Pat did a wonderful job on our tour. He pointed out places of interest and allowed us to stop at places he hadn't planned and allowed us the time we wanted. Very nice

We had a great day with Pat exploring Northern Ireland. He is friendly and knowledgeable, and we learned so much about his beautiful homeland. The first thing we did when we met up with him was go online and get tickets for the Carrick-a-Reed rope bridge. It was super easy, and it make it easier once we were there to just go, without the wait. It was stunning, and the walk/easy hike there was great to move around a bit. He also took us to the Bushmills distillery, where we really liked the sample flight. We loved learning about the history of Northern Ireland and seeing all the natural wonder of the area. We had a great day with Pat. We highly recommend a day with him. Thanks so much!

We had a very enjoyable day with Pat, loved the scenery, the learning of history of the area, and of course the Giant's Causeway is amazing. I would absolutely book a day with Pat again if we ever return.

What a great day! We were so pleased with our tour guide Pat. He's professional and so knowledgeable. He showed up early and dropped us back at the cruise ship with time to spare. We got to see everything on our wish list of sights and more! It also helped that, like us, he's a huge Game of Thrones fan, so we were able to see so many sites where scenes from the show were filmed. We would definitely recommend Tours by Locals and, of course, Pat.
