We had an amazing time with Fergal. This tour is perfectly paced and takes you to multiple hidden gems along the coastline. Fergal is a knowledgable and thoughtful tour guide who tailors the tour to your interests and always makes sure you’re comfortable. Having a private tour makes all the difference to seeing such a beautiful part of the country. Fergal knows how to avoid the crowds and always provided fascinating and engaging commentary. This tour is absolutely worth taking if you want to learn about Irish history, culture, and food off the ‘beaten track’. It’s an added bonus that Fergal takes excellent photos as well!

My husband and I are on our honeymoon! We wanted to do something special while we were in Belfast and had already seen many good things about this tour. We both had a marvelous time and couldn’t have been more happy with the entire tour! Phil was generous enough to provide extra gear if we needed it, he let us take our time when we got to the causeway so we didn’t feel rushed, and he made sure to make the tour appropriate to what we all wanted. Phil also was kind enough to go out of his way to suggest different eating places within the city and places to see since we had never visited. Beautiful scenery mixed with a kind tour guide was exactly what we wanted for our honeymoon!

I did this tour a couple of days after doing the eclectic Belfast tour. I highly recommend it to anyone with an interest in the history of the Troubles. Marty is extremely knowledgeable and presents both perspectives of the conflict in a fair and even manner.

Over 2 hours and 15 minutes, with the help of expert guides who are conflict historians, this walking tour of Belfast city center will take you on a journey back in time. You will discover how the conflict known as the Troubles started, see the locations where the most important events of the period occurred, and learn about the path to reconciliation and eventually peace (and the challenges the future may hold). You will discover the realities of growing up and living your life in a conflict zone and how it affected everyone who lived here. The tour is factual and historically accurate to ensure it is unbiased, but the guides also weave their own stories into the tour in order to bring history to life and give you a unique understanding of the recent past. The tour starts each day at 10.30am. It is No.4 on TripAdvisor's Traveller's Choice 'Activities in the U.K. 2019' and one of the guides was named 'Top UK Tour Guide' at the Wanderlust World Guide Awards 2019.

Paul and Mark somehow managed to summarize centuries of complex history, politics, culture, music, religion and the impact of all on communities and families into a fascinating hour long presentation that was digestible, accessible and very educational. Paul and Mark were so generous with their time and clearly love sharing their knowledge and experiences, for which I am very grateful. Looking forward to meeting them in person the next time I am fortunate enough to visit the north. Highly recommend.
