EXCELLENT 5-HOUR PRIVATE TOUR IN BELFAST

5.00I was with my family and friends (6 people group) in Belfast earlier this week. We decided to hire a private tour with this company and Andrés attended us. Andres is a machine. Great knowledgeable about the history and idiosyncrasies of not only Belfast but Northern Ireland as a whole. As you travel with him you are taking a dive into the streets, characters, legends and stories of this beautiful and long-suffering city. He tells it all hard without becoming tedious. Delve in on request and also gave us some luxury stops in unforgettable pubs and cafes that you would skip if you went on your own. The political tour I recommend so that you know the true spirit of Belfast. Thank you very much Andres and I hope you do very well. Jotace HEC

5.00We did the Belfast political tour with the Laura guide and loved it! He explained the history of the conflict in a very clear and close way, and solved all our questions so that we could understand everything without problem. Many thanks also to Andrés, who organized everything excellently and was attentive throughout. Highly recommended!!
