Best tour of my life. - The staff at Bullitt Hotel connected my wife and me with Joe for a tour the morning before our train back to Dublin in early April. The time we spent together was honestly the best tour experience I've ever had. Joe picked us up from the hotel and we were instantly at ease with his conversational style and unique perspective. It was clear from his interactions with locals that we were being hosted by someone with deep connections to the places we saw, and Joe's humor and grace in discussing thorny issues made for an informative but comfortable experience. The opportunity to sign the Peace Wall was a surprising and very meaningful experience. We are so appreciative and I hope many more people take the chance to see Belfast with Joe!

Must-do for every first-time visitor to Belfast - Incredible experience. Our tour guide provided a personal, in-depth, emotional history and perspective that was so enlightening to a pair of Americans in Belfast for the first time. I would recommend this tour to every first-time visitor to Belfast.

You'd be lucky to have Joe as your guide - This was a fantastic experience from start to finish. Was able to secure a tour the same day, working around our schedule, with pickup at the Titanic Experience. Joe is a fabulous guide with a knack for talking about a difficult topic with grace, empathy for all involved and a bit of appropriate humor to lighten the mood as needed. Felt like we got a balanced overview of "The Troubles," and we all came away wanting to learn much more. Highly recommended, this was a highlight of our trip.
