Great authentic tour of Belfast - Tour was amazing. Learnt so much despite being from NI myself and my partner from England loved it also. Really loved Martis love for Belfast and his knowledge of city. Was great he didnt spend whole time glorifying the troubles aswell and when he did talk about troubles it was very balanced.

Great Eclectic tour - Yes, Marty does give an eclectic tour. He touched on very old Belfast and brought us into the current era all while showing the many sights around the city Center. I didn’t know much about Belfast but now I have a general appreciation of its varied history. Marty did a good job of informing me on our tour. And at the end he helped us pick out a restaurant for dinner. Thank you Marty

Back to the future with Marti's eclectic tour! - Marti took us back to the future with his comprehensive knowledge of the past. Very interesting and informative to a Belfast 'virgin' like my friend Dave. Marti is a fascinating bloke well worth spending time with and is known and respected in many of our stopping points...enjoy!!

Disappointing Walking Tour of Belfast - We were ten minutes late for our 2 pm tour because we had to travel 4 hours to Belfast for this tour. The tour guide repeatedly referred to our being late throughout the tour as the reason he was running behind on a 2 1/2 walking tour. I am disappointed that he could not adjust his tour on the fly without blaming us. When we finally had to excuse ourselves at 4:45 from the tour because we had not eaten, he behaved as if he was offended. At times during the tour he even left part of the group at a light and crossed the street waiting for us on the other side. Very disappointing overall.
