The Best Walking Tour of Belfast and Its History - What a truly unique experience, spending the afternoon with Marti. We experienced Belfast and its history with someone who knows and loves this city and will make you love it to. His knowledge of Irish history and Belfast history is unparalleled. We were the only people on the tour and we explored neighborhoods and places that would otherwise be inaccessible to us. His commitment to peace and community is the spirit of what will continue to move this place in the direction it so badly wants to go. If you want to experience the real Belfast, this is the person to do it with.

So insightful - Marti is an amazing tour guide. The tour was incredibly insightful and gave us a deeper understanding of both the past and present politics of Northern Ireland. He shared real stories from real people, which made the experience powerful and personal. After the tour, he even followed up with an email full of resources to help us learn more about Belfast and Northern Ireland. Highly recommended.

Balanced and hopeful - Marti is a great guide. He is balanced and interesting and has life experiences very few people will have. He is passionate about the peace process and optimistic which is great. There is a fair amount of walking but there is a lot to see! Really enjoyed it, thanks Marti.

A brilliant, insightful and hopeful tour not to be missed! - Marty was such a brilliant guide for our Belfast peace walking tour. He started with a thorough background of history building to the more recent ‘Troubles’ before guiding us through Belfast to see beautiful & interesting street art, key landmarks and sights. Then into west Belfast for a up close and personal look at the still existing divides between communities and attempts to bring peace and unity. He gave us great insight & detail, answering our questions as well as pointing us to more places to visit, things to watch and read to learn more. I’d more than recommend this tour to learn more, and see the hope being embraced in this fascinating city! Thanks Marty 😊

Trouble-free Troubles murals tour. - Marti was very informative and very knowledgeable about the history of the troubles from both communities.
And the artworks inspiring them and how they have evolved in the year since the end of the troubles.
He also adds his own insights and natural wit into the narrative.
His tour was well worth the fee.
