Very informative tour! - We had a great tour with Colin and would highly recommend his tours. He is very knowledgeable about Belfast and provided many personal insights as well as clear descriptions. The headsets and microphone worked very well and much better than the tours we’ve taken without them. We learned a lot and would highly recommend this tour.

Best of Belfast Walking Tour - Beautiful 3 hour walk through Belfast together and our guide Mark. Mark, who we were very impressed with for his passion and knowledge of Belfast's history. At a good pace we walked through Belfast, saw many beautiful locations and his wonderful stories. Pleasant was also the coffee / sanitary stop half ways. Because we had received ears from Mark he was perfectly understandable on the way. For this tour we stored our luggage at Stasher Luggage Storage which was ultimately the hopp or and hopp on shop. we booked this tour through Getyourguide with DC Tours.

Excellent. Well worth booking - My partner and I did this walking tour to find out some history of Belfast. We were not disappointed. The tour lasted approximately 1.30 minutes. Not a lot of walking but so much of the history given. Our guide was Jim and my word he knew his stuff. We couldn't have asked for a better guide. We were totally impressed. Thank you, Jim. Really enjoyed it. Irene & Steve. Liverpool

As I'm from the Republic of Ireland it was only from a distance that I learned about the troubles. It was great to hear - Our guide Mytlie was outstanding in her knowledge of the area, buildings and most of all the facts. I live in the Republic of Ireland and have never been to northern Ireland before. I'm now retired so I'm trying to catching up. It was well worth the trip and doing the walking tour. I would recommend this tour to all my family and friends if they ever want to visit Belfast. Many thanks again to our tour guide 10 out of 10. Kind regards Colm Giltinan

This tour is true to its name - the best indeed - This was one of the most impressive and amazing walking tour we have experienced. Our guide Jim, was phenomenal !!! His breadth of knowledge and communication skills, was stimulating, educational and left us with a feeling that in the 3 hours that we were on the walk, we gained an expansive insight into Belfast, its history, people, unique architecture, diverse cultures and challenges, past and present political challenges as well as the dynamics of Ireland’s diversity. Highly recommend this tour.

Good tour if you have limited time. - Colin was well informed and shared so much information about Belfast from 1000 years ago to the more recent conflicts on the 1980's and 1990's...in spite of the wet weather. All-in-all, an excellent tour.
