Hi, I'm Paul – a proud Belfast native and one of the city's biggest ambassadors. Born and bred in Belfast since 1980, I’ve spent my life immersed in its rich history, vibrant culture, and unique character. There’s truly no place I’d rather be, and nothing I love more than sharing the stories of this incredible city with visitors from around the world. After 18 years in the engineering industry, a redundancy in 2017 gave me the chance to reinvent my path – and I took it as the perfect opportunity to follow my true passion: becoming a professional tour guide. I spent nearly three years in part-time education, earning tourism and hospitality qualifications from Belfast Metropolitan College and the Open College Network. Today, I’m a fully certified guide with six years of experience, a head full of stories, and a heart full of pride for my hometown. Belfast is a city reborn – once troubled, now thriving. It’s a safe, welcoming, and culturally rich destination, filled with stunning architecture, powerful murals, fascinating history, and some of the friendliest people you’ll ever meet. Whether you're here for the craic or the culture, there’s always something to discover. I offer a variety of engaging walking and driving tours, including: Political & Historical Tours Street Art & Architecture Famous Pubs & Local Legends Game of Thrones Filming Locations The Giant’s Causeway & Scenic Drives Family History & Genealogy Tours I'm a member of Tour Guides NI and hold OCN Level 2 and Level 3 Certificates in Tour Guiding, along with multiple WorldHost qualifications in customer service. As a father, I believe in the power of sharing – and nothing brings me more joy than sharing Belfast’s stories with curious minds and open hearts. Join me, and let’s explore this extraordinary city together.

The tour was excellent in content. Paul is very knowledgeable, friendly, enthusiastic and helpful. It would help for our non-Scots ears if he slowed down his descriptions of what we were seeing and visiting.

Energetic, gregarious and engaging - from the Titanic to the Troubles, Belfast history and today’s environment, Paul enthusiastically shared his knowledge of the city and its people. We enjoyed our time and feel we even learned a great deal.

Paul is a fabulous guide. Very knowledgeable and entertaining. My husband and I booked the 1/2 day Belfast tour and loved every minute. He was early to pick us up at our ship, provided water and his favorite Irish snacks. He made us laugh and made sure we got to see everything that we wanted. Highly recommend! Thank you, Paul for a very memorable day in Belfast.
