This gentleman knows Belfast - I spent the day with Marti doing a double day of tours. I’ll start by saying I’ve done many tours in many cities in many parts of the world, and can definitively say that Marti is the most knowledgeable tour guide of his city that I have ever had. Hands down. I was amazed that after 7 hours he still had plenty of new knowledge and there was zero overlap between tours (& he offers additional tours to those I took). As a professor and closet historian I am always looking for deeper knowledge and Marti did not disappoint. How a person remembers that many events, locations, names and dates is beyond me. He clearly has a passion for his subject and has spent a lifetime preparing to give you your next tour. I’m no stranger to Belfast having hosted many times and taken a variety of tours. Marti’s tour tied so many ends together and provided such a rich context and new perspectives to help provide a deeper meaning. He’s aware of the past, the present and the new directions of Belfast. At the end of it all, you appreciate that this tour is a reflection of Marti himself and his eclectic life adventures and experiences with so many facets of Belfast. Two thumbs up!

Amazing Belfast! - This was one of the most informative walking tours I’ve ever been on! We picked his tour because it was about more than the Troubles and we weren’t disappointed. Marti knows everything about Belfast and adapted the tour to our interests. We saw so many things and got so many recommendations that we plan on coming back to Belfast in the future.
