If you are looking to discover a different view on Belfast other than The Troubles history then this is for you. Marti was a great in weaving us through the city for 3 hours and providing history bits that linked Belfast to its past, what is going on now and how its sees it future. We are started at City Hall and finished in the Cathedral Quarter where the arts scene is alive and well. Thanks Marti!

Marti was a warm and welcoming tour guide who was clearly very attuned to the various interests of those on the tour. We particularly enjoyed the thoughtful way the tour was put together, which was evidently a blend of typical stop offs and areas he felt would interest the group. Marti pointed out lots along the journey and built up the story of Belfast in an in-depth but very accessible way. During the tour Marti took us for a brief stop to a traditional pub called The John Hewitt, which we were delighted to discover was hosting a traditional band that evening. We returned to the pub to enjoy the music, which really put the icing on the cake of a wonderful day. Thank you Marti and all the best ☺️
Thanks Marti

Excellent overview of the city in a very eclectic way. Marti is very proud of where he is from and gave us a great tour. I grew up in Belfast but have been living abroad for a long time. Marti introduced me to places in the city that even I didn't know. Our teenage daughters enjoyed it too... Marti made it interesting for everyone!
The only way is the Marti way!
