Excellent walking tour - We had a great tour of Belfast with Marti. It isn’t sn exaggeration to say that Marti knows everything about Belfast: the history, the culture and the arts. It was a cold rainy day but the hours blew by! We learned so much and highly recommend this tour! Thanks Marti!

Great fun! - Marty was my guide and I had a really interesting and fun tour. The 'eclectic' tour was absorbing - pub and bakery visit, lots of great street art too. Given it was solo Matry shaped the tour to my interests. Thank you!!

Recommended Belfast Tour! - This was a great tour - so glad we booked this. Despite pretty bad weather (windy, cold rain) we persevered and it was worth it. Marti (guide) was knowledgeable and covered a lot of history and places.

Such an interesting afternoon with Marti - We met Marti outside City Hall and spent the next three and a quarter hours utterly captivated by his knowledge of the history of Belfast and the island of Ireland. Marti showed us the many historic buildings of Belfast as well as the little known ones, a little church here, a little pub there, all of which were interesting. Marti is a great guide who is full of recommendations for places to eat, drink or visit. We certainly felt like we knew Belfast and its wonderful people by the end of the tour. I would definitely recommend that you go on one of Marti’s tours.

Brilliant Belfast tour - Marti was great. Quite eccentric but brilliant! He showed us and told us all the stories that other guides may not. Time was no object and we thoroughly enjoyed our tour with him.

Great tour of the psst, present and future Belfast - Marty had an immense knowledge of the history of Belfast and the key tourist sites. More impressive was his knowledge of the contemporary Belfast. He took us to the back streets and lanes highlighting modern art, culture, community welfare and sustainability projects. We learnt so much about the city, its people psst and present and the city's desire to move forward. Thanks Marty for an excellent tour.
