We would definitely recommend Aidan’s tour to visitors or locals who want to find out more about Belfast and its history. We enjoyed a private two hour tour and learned a lot of new and interesting information about our city. As a local, Aidan’s tour has encouraged me to slow down and look up and appreciate more about Belfast. The tour is nicely paced and thoroughly engaging.

We booked onto this tour on a weekend break to Belfast and I would envourage you to book it too. Aidan is so friendly and professional, and has a wealth of knowledge about the city. The route we took was great, we discovered a whole corner of the city we hadn't yet been to, and saw loads along the way - street art, architecture, famous pubs, and much more. The tour was so interesting and insightful from start to finish and packed full of information. We could ask questions along the way, and we were lucky the group size was small on the day we booked (less than 10 people). Highly recommend, don't hesitate to book!
