An enjoyable walk! - Our guide Steve is extremely knowledgeable. He is above all, an excellent guide. Steve breathed and infused history and life into Belfast city during our walking tour. He gave everyone a deep appreciation of Belfast - its history, struggle, tensions and its more kindred moments when communities came together to help one another. Through Steve's narration, the buildings, streets and murals in Belfast became personable, and alive. I'm extremely glad I did this walking tour and would encourage everyone visiting Belfast to consider doing a walking tour with Steve.

Knowledgeable, trustworthy, responsible and charming guide - This is my second time participating in this very informative and highly accessible tour. I have what I'd describe as a passing interest in local history and our tour guide, Mark has made it very engaging on both occasions that I attended. The three hours seem to pass by seemlessly with a comfort break conveniently scheduled for halfway through the tour. I found that we were able to cover considerable ground in our trek and spanned many centuries-worth of local Belfast history. At one point in the tour, one of our group found themselves involved in a heated exchanged with an inebriated local. Mark quickly stepped in and was able to diffuse the situation. I was very impressed with how he handled the situation, and prevented any escalation of the exchange. It was good to know that, as well as being very well-versed in his history, Mark is also able to take full responsibility for the oft-unaccounted, miscellaneous eventualities that are part and parcel of a city walking tour. He comfortably resumed the tour thereafter. His age and youthful demeanour belies his knowledge and experience. He has a wonderful way with people and I would encourage any and all to participate in one of his tours.
