Exceptional historical knowledge with down to earth Belfast craic.

I had a fantastic time on Belfast Walking Tour’s Historic Pub Crawl. Paul & Larry were amazing guides who showed us around some of Belfast’s oldest and most unique pubs. From the smallest pub to the oldest pub, each its own remarkable story. They packed a lot of history in. I’d highly recommend Belfast Walking Tours to anyone wanting to explore Belfast.

Great tour. Highly recommended.

Larry did a wonderful job with this tour. He was able to tailor it to our groups needs and was very flexible with us. I loved the spots we went to on the tour and the history that he shared with them. I would definitely recommend this tour!

Do not miss this experience

I have been on 2 different Belfast Waking Tours and both were amazing. Larry's knowledge of Belfast history is unbelievable and he made the tours both enjoyable and informative. Do not miss the opportunity to join one of these tours... first class.

These guys know their stuff!

I attended Belfast Walking Tours' architectural tour in Belfast city entre, and would certainly recommend the tour. Larry, who led the tour was knowledgeable and engaging, and certainly knows his stuff. I went to school in Belfast city centre for years, and always worked there, but, despite this, I picked up lots of information on the tour, which I'm sure would be of interest to both tourists and locals alike. I hope to go on a few more of Belfast Walking Tours' walks, and would highly recommend

We have just come back from a tour of Belfast with Paul, we found it immensely enjoyable and at times emotional. We cannot recommend him enough

The energetic Irish city of Belfast clearly has a lot to offer; award winning restaurants and boisterous pubs, shopping, a thriving nightlife and friendly residents. And then there are the sights to see; with a choice of bus, taxi or walking tours, exploring this sprawling city with a Belfast tour guide makes for a fantastic experience. The city is a combination of Edwardian and modern architecture surrounded by mountains and beautified by vast tracts of green gardens and parks, the two styles inexplicably complementing one another. For history aficionados, the City Hall and lovely churches beckon, or if you are interested in natural sciences, a visit to the Ulster Museum is free. Join the ice hockey fans to watch the Belfast Giants at the Odyssey Arena and catch a view of the city’s rooftops from the top of the Dome. Rich in maritime history, the exhibitions at the Thompson Dock and Pump House relate the story of building the famous ship, the Titanic. Relax at St George’s Market with a cup of coffee and a tasty home-made dishes whilst listening to one of the music ensembles gently providing background music and you are truly at home in Belfast.

Reviews by our Customers

“We had an incredible day spent with Frank and we are grateful that we got to meet him. I can’t imagine anyone more knowledgeable and passionate about his homeland. He is kind, intelligent, personable, and open-hearted. I wouldn’t have wanted to see the Antrim Coast in any other way!”

Sandy from Chicago

“Hands down the most interesting and educational history experience we went on while on vacation, and Francis was the main reason for this experience. We didn’t expect to have someone who lived through the troubles in Belfast be our tour guide. It was amazing to hear the stories from Francis and be taken to various locations where he experienced/witnessed various atrocities to his friends, family and himself. If you are in Belfast, I highly recommend this tour!.”

Bob from New York

“We had a full day with Frank. We spent the morning at The Titanic Museum to which he added an thorough, “insiders'” perspective from his own experiences working in the ship yards. In the afternoon, Frank drove us through the neighborhoods of “The Troubles”, providing a balanced and incredibly insightful perspective of the complex political and religious narrative. Frank is a gifted lecturer and has written several books on the subject. If you ever get to Belfast, you MUST book your tour with Frank.”

There is an array of Spring events to choose from on the programme including the opening of Show Some Love Greenhouse, a city centre collaborative space, and community boat building workshops.

Belfast is also gearing up to begin the event with Little Amal this Spring, who visits the city from 16-19 May.

Awful Auntie

Why not check out David Walliams’ Awful Auntie at The Grand Opera House, sure to be hit for every kid, whether young or not so young.

It tells the story of Stella who sets off to visit London with her parents - but she has no idea her life is in danger! Waking up three months later, only Stella’s Aunt Alberta can tell her what has happened. But not everything Alberta tells her turns out to be true and Stella quickly discovers she’s in for the fight of her life against her very own Awful Auntie.

Following their acclaimed productions of Gangsta Granny, Billionaire Boy and Demon Dentist, Birmingham Stage Company presents this fabulous new production of David Walliams’ amazing adventure story, featuring a very large owl, a very small ghost and of course a very Awful Auntie! The show runs from Thursday 25 to Saturday 27 April.

Running until 6 May, come along and see the gardens of Northern Ireland’s Royal residence erupt in colour as the Spring Spectacular returns for 2024.

Take a stroll amongst the blooms for a perfect relaxing day out, savouring the tranquillity of the beautiful grounds.

One of the oldest and most beautiful buildings in Belfast, Clifton House is celebrating 250 years since its doors first opened in 1774.

To mark this special anniversary, visitors can enjoy a newly launched unique guided tour, exploring the early development of the house and its evolution through the years, during which time it has survived rebellions and revolutions while continuing to look after the welfare of the people of the city.

Visitors will also have an opportunity to view a new exhibition in the Heritage Centre which displays some of the key artefacts and archives that tell the story of this Poorhouse and its vital role in society.

McConnell’s Distillery Signature Tour

Dating back to 1776, McConnell’s Irish Whisky has been re-launched by Belfast Distillery Company and has just recently opened a working distillery at Crumlin Road Gaol to visitors.

McConnell’s was Born in Belfast, one of the world’s great industrial cities, and has been synonymous with the city for many decades. Indeed, whiskey was once one of Belfast’s premier industries, back in the 1800s producing more of the spirit than any other city on the island of Ireland.

The team at Belfast Distillery Company is restoring this great tradition through the McConnell’s Distillery and Visitor Experience in the heart of the city.

Visitors can explore the state-of-the-art distillery, where every step echoes heritage and innovation, immersing themselves in the passion behind the award-winning whiskies. Learn about the distilling process and of course, taste some of McConnell’s Irish whiskies along the way.

Explore Colin Glen Forest in search of some familiar friends this Spring. Discover the country’s only official Gruffalo Trail. Delve deeper into the Gruffalo and Stick Man stories, searching for the famous characters in the woods, listening wide-eyed and wondered to the classic tales.

Visitors can also try one of the other popular attractions such as Ireland’s first alpine coaster, the Black Bull Run and the 250m Forest Flyover zipline at Colin Glen’s Mountain Entrance. Or why not try out Ireland’s longest zipline, River Rapid which opened to the public on Friday 15 April.

The 700m dual zipline with a 100ft high take-off offers fantastic views of Belfast and beyond as you zip across the Colin River at up to 50mph.

Maritime Mile

Covering one mile of water and 10 kilometres of connected pathway, this award-winning curated experience connects and celebrates Belfast’s vibrant heritage waterfront.

It stretches from Sailortown to the Titanic Pump House and includes views of the Big Fish, SS Nomadic, Titanic Belfast and Titanic Slipways. A perfect activity for milder days, walking in the footsteps of giants, exploring Belfast’s iconic waterfront.

A unique way to experience Irish music, the Belfast Traditional Music Trail is a true treat. With two professional musicians as guides, walk through cobbled alleyways, past famous landmarks and into private bars in some of the city’s oldest buildings.

At each stop you will be treated to a performance of traditional tunes, songs and stories, all creating a personal ‘session’.
