Aidan is an excellent guide - I went to Belfast as part of our local Arts Society group. There were 47 of us. Despite the large number, Aidan looked after us very well, made sure that everyone was happy with what they were doing and seeing and provided a balanced and really interesting and insightful account of The Troubles and life in Belfast. He was a major influence on the success of our five enjoyable days in Belfast, Hillsborough Castle,and the North Antrim coast

Excellent general introduction to Belfast - This was an excellent tour for anyone who would like a broad introduction to the city. Our guide, Aidan Walker, was a mine of information which he presented in an interesting and entertaining way. He dealt with the inevitable difficult subjects tactfully but without playing down the seriousness of the situations. All the practical arrangements went smoothly. Highly recommended. H Steel

A great day out for my mum’s birthday! - 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. Thank you for making mum’s birthday a good day out!

Exceptional tour for locals and visitors. - We took our English visitors on the More Than 'the Troubles' walking tour and it was the highlight of their visit to Northern Ireland. Aidan was an exceptional guide, friendly, patient and happy for us to ask questions. The information was not only interesting and entertaining it was well balanced giving the total picture. The two hours simply flew by. We would highly recommend this tour to locals and visitors alike!
