Many thanks Nick, it was a pleasure to show you our stories bad and good with a real good ending. Hurry back!
Outstanding experience! Fascinating history, open to questions and full of information. Frank’s life is as varied and interesting as the tour itself - you won’t regret picking him as your guide. Would absolutely recommend!

Many thanks Josh. I'm glad you enjoyed the experience. Come back soon, Frank and Mickey.
A great way to find out more about the history of the troubles in Belfast. Two very informative guides, very different in presentation of information but both so knowledgeable and friendly. Good to know: not so suitable for those with mobility issues, 2nd half was a lot of getting in/out of the taxi which my mum found hard.

The information was excellent. The history of the city and Irelands growth through many challenges was compelling. Guide was amazing along with friendly staff. The tour was a lot of fast walking and very little time to take a “selfie”. Which is what the tour description was, time for selfies. 4 hours non stop of walking quickly and zero time planned for breaks, including bathroom and food. Maybe take something that’s not significant out to allow for breaks would be helpful. Bec of city shutdowns several top attractions could not be visited. That information should have been provided before booking the tour.

Hi, I'm glad you enjoyed our Selfie walking tour. We can only deliver the tour itinerary that is agreed by the cruise line and there are no break or shopping times scheduled in for that reason. The attractions were closed because of the Belfast Marathon that took place yesterday and were out of our control. We did however inform the cruise line in advance about this and they have your contact details and not BelfastLad. Come back on one of more relaxed tours someday and we'll buy you a pint of Guinness!
Allen was a very knowledgeable guide.

Mr. Higgins, our tour guide, really brought the scenery to life with his tales from Irish history, Irish folklore, and his own personal history. He brought us to numerous Game of Thrones filming locations and went into detail about the fascinating parallels between GoT and the history of Ireland. The beauty of Ireland, Giant's Causeway and Dunluce Castle are amazing, but Mr. Higgin's storytelling and expertise as a guide really brought our experience to the next level.

Many thanks for your kind words Matthew. It was my pleasure to take you both to Winterfell, Castle Pyke, the Bravos Canal and much, much more. Come back soon!
