    An enjoyable and informative tour courtesy of Craig, giving us a good look at different areas of Belfast which we wouldn't have otherwise seen. We were lucky to enjoy gorgeous weather throughout our trip! The tour conveniently fitted into a morning before an afternoon trip.

    Nice bus, safe driver, wouldn’t stop where we wanted and it was one of the “stops “ spent too much time at the wall.

    Both bus drivers and tour guides were great. Darren ( driver) and Anne ( tour guide) on the trip from City Hall to the Titanic were excellent. Fun and factual info from Anne ( along with a giveaway of a Titanic poem! On the trip home we stayed on for the full route and heard many great facts and stories as well as some funny comments. A safe and courteous driver/guide was Catherine!

    Booked the bus and Titanic Belfast tour combo was brilliant. Belfast history is sad but needs to be heard and seen. Visit the peace wall a must. The Titanic tour was brilliant and very moving worth 6 stars out of 5!

  • Quick overview of Belfast.

    Nancy H,May 25, 2026

    4.00

    This is a good way to see the highlights of Belfast quickly including the "trouble" murals and area. Note, however, that you can buy a day pass at the first stop or from the driver, which would have saved us about 13USD considering Viator would only sell us two day passes (which we did not want or need).

  • Best way to get a taste of the city!

    Top notch information, not pre-recorded but narrated live by the Best driver named George on May 23. humorous but not corny, plenty of information but not boring.
