Iconic landmarks and buildings of Belfast which was given its City Status by Queen Victoria in 1888. During the Victorian times, Belfast thrived as a town and had outgrown Dublin the Capital of Ireland due to the shipbuilding and linen industries introduced by the close ties to Great Britain and the Unionist population. Then in 1921 Belfast became the capital city of the newly formed British region of Northern Ireland as Ireland got its long-sought Independence to become a free state. Belfast flourished as a city right up to the late '60s when a new era of violence broke out known as the Troubles. A bloody 30-year period that saw over 10, 000 bombs 3, 500 lives lost, and over 50, 000 badly wounded. A lot of the architecture has survived and your city tour in Belfast will cover North West South East as well as the city centre and the Famous Peace walls that still divide the 2 communities Catholic and Protestant. This tour is a must-see experience!
We were very pleased with our personal tour with Michael. He was on time. During the tour there was plenty of opportunity to stop and get pictures. Michael was very knowledgeable about the history of Belfast as well as the local culture. He was able to answer any questions we had. I would highly recommend Michael for any tour.
Michael is a very good, personable tour guide with a detailed and personal knowledge of Northern Ireland’s history, especially the city of Belfast. John took us on a very interesting and enlightening driving tour through Belfast with several stops at sites of historical interest and importance. We came away with a new understanding and appreciation for the history of Northern Ireland and Belfast in particular. We highly recommend Michael as a tour guide in Dublin.
Great tour! Mick was awesome providing real local insights and history. This is a must do tour in Belfast!
Michael did an excellent job showing us everything we were interested in doing and modifying the tour to meet our specific interests. We left with a better understanding and appreciation of Belfast and the community. We would highly recommend his tour for anyone interested in depth information on Belfast!
Having never been to Belfast, we took full advantage of this excellent 5-hour tour with Michael, who is knowledgeable and personable. He drove us to many different sectors of the city while telling us of both its history and current affairs. We were fascinated! Highlights were the Peace Wall and the Titanic museum. The mood was conversational and unrushed. We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves and highly recommend this tour with Michael! Keith & Laurie F
Michael took us everywhere we wanted to go in the greater Belfast area. He was willing to pivot in the middle of the tour to take us to other parts of this beautiful city. We had a great day.
This tour can be either morning or afternoon. Depending on your pick up point in Belfast. This tour will cover the 5 quarters of Belfast - Cathedral, Gaelic, Titanic, University, Linen. I will also highlight the main buildings : City Hall, Queens university, Europa hotel, Stormont Buildings (government political offices), Titanic Belfast (where the famous ship was built), Belfast Castle and many other interesting buildings. I will also provide a political tour at the first Peace wall that still remains today. This is a must see tour of Belfast and its history is told by a local boy who grew up and lived in what is known as the 'TROUBLES'. This is also a Local Taste tour as it allows for a 1 hour city pub experience to sample local food and Ale.
