Hello I'm Emma a qualified professional Tour Guide and one of the few female Tour Guides in Belfast. I am a working mother and I gained a First Class Honors Degree in Humanities which led to a career change and I have a particular interest in uncovering some of the history relating to the women of Belfast. I specialise in delivering walking tours about the women of Belfast and I am also a guide on the open top bus here. I was born and raised in Belfast, a city I'm very proud of and which has changed immensely over the last fifty plus years! Some things never change and that is the warmth and humour which we share regardless. I have always been interested in the history of Belfast so being a Tour Guide is the perfect job for me as I can offer a wide variety of walking tours and experiences to suit your needs. Belfast has a complex history which I'm happy to explain in an interesting and informative way and I would love to share my passion and personal experiences of the city with you. Visitors to Belfast are always surprised at our warmth and humour and I am happy to share some of our famous hospitality with you. Tours can always be customised according to your own specification so if you see something you like get in touch!
