Hi folks! My name is David. I'm 54 years old. I'm a father of 3 children 2 boys and a girl. I have lived in the City of Belfast all my life. I'm a (World host Tourism NI) accredited tour guide for over 14years. I grew up in Belfast during the conflict otherwise known as (the troubles) and have seen my city transform into one of the nicest, friendliest and modern cities in the world. I have worked in Belfast as a cab driver since 1999 and then became a tour guide in 2007. In this time I have given private guided tours to hundreds of tourists from all over the world. When I'm not working as a tour guide I work for the Education Authority for Northern Ireland , driving children with neurodiverse problems. My previous jobs I have worked within Northern Ireland's film & television industry driving film and tv stars including the cast from the hit HBO series GAME OF THRONES. I'm a huge fan of the show. I drive a luxury fully air conditioned Mercedes MPV capable of carrying 7 guests. But I can cater for smaller or larger numbers of guests upon request. I'm very proud of my city and my country of Northern Ireland. I love to show off our beautiful countryside and it's wonderful cultures. If you choose me as your tour guide you will get a very friendly warm welcome and you'll also be guaranteed a fantastic and fun day out with a very knowledgeable guide. I am an established and accredited tour guide in Northern Ireland I have been trained in all aspects of Customer Service and Tour Guiding I have experience working with some of the world's leading travel agencies I have delivered hundreds of tours to travellers from all parts of the world I have all the essential licensing and insurance required to be a guide in Northern Ireland I can offer Tours in Northern Ireland and Republic of Ireland I have experience in providing multiple day tours in both Northern Ireland and Republic of Ireland.

Carole F.United States
David is an excellent tour guide. We booked a five-hour Titanic Belfast, Belfast city, and mural tour with a lunch stop at a traditional pub (The Garrick). We were traveling as a family group of two senior adults and three young adults, one of whom had a disability that required a wheelchair for longer distances. David accommodated our needs with thoughtfulness and consideration. David’s depth of knowledge, insights, unbiased perspective, and congenial personality resulted in a memorable experience for all.
John W.United States
We had an excellent tour of the city with David. He was friendly, knowledgeable and gave us unbiased insight into the conflicts between the Catholic and Protestant neighborhoods often with a personal perspective. He also set up our tour of the Titanic museum and gave a terrific recommendation for a pub for dinner which did not disappoint! We highly recommend David’s services for touring Belfast. Thanks David for a great day!!
Timothy M.United States
We really enjoyed our tour with David. He is very easy to talk with and is a wealth of knowledge and experience about Belfast. Everything from pickup at the pier to dropoff was easy. I only wish we had more time to explore, but it was a short stop on our cruise.
Steve D.United States
I would highly recommend David as a tour guide. He was waiting when we got off the boat. He was passionate and knowledgeable about the history of his country. He filled every minute of the tour with interesting sights and information. He took us to a great authentic pub for lunch and the titanic Belfast exhibit was the icing on the cake. Five stars for an excellent guide and a nice guy. Thank you David for sharing your city with us.
