We absolutely loved our experience with Michael. He accommodated us the day of, was right on time, and so friendly and entertaining. We loved that while it was extremely informative, it wasn’t just a memorized script. Michael customized for us, responded to our questions and always ensured we had a positive experience. On occasion, we passed a few other tour groups and realized we were getting a much more personalized experience. We feel so lucky that we got Michael as our tour guide. (As a tip: we accidentally booked through a website and later discovered that it was a middle man and that if we would have booked directly at Belfast.tours, it would have been cheaper and directly through Michael).
