It was Belfast marathon...
Pam L,May 9, 2026
- Review from Viator
3.00It was Belfast marathon day. I was traveling after 1 PM. I was trying to get to the college conservatory, but ended up looping by the Titanic area twice and sitting on busses going nowhere for a bit of time. I tried to ride a bus near my hotel where there was a scheduled stop, and was unsuccessful getting near there on the second trip. I finally gave up and walked from the city center back to the hotel. During a normal day, I’m sure it would have been fine. A revised schedule for potential and actual riders sure would have been helpful. It was a waste of money for the 2 day pass for me.

5.00This was great. Highly recommend as a good way to see a lot of the city in a short amount of time of time. Our tour guide Don was GREAT. He was very knowledgeable and funny and he made the whole tour interesting and engaging. Great way to learn more about the history of Belfast in an interesting way. I would definitely recommend this tour especially the GOAT, Don.
Really disappointed with this service. Speakers not working and they couldn't give a damn

1.00What an embarrassment for Belfast. The speakers on board were not working and when I complained to the driver he shrugged and said they knew that and need to get it fixed. Feel like have been ripped of being sold a ticket for a tour guide where there is no guide.

5.00Extremely comprehensive. Love the live guide George, great sense of humour with terrific stories. Highly recommend this tour for a one day visit to Belfast. Two companies merged so the frequency of pick up's is easy and quick.
Brilliant guide - awful music

- Review from Tripadvisor
5.00Cracking tour. Very friendly and helpful staff. The music in between stops in the first 2 buses was awful - better to have silence. But our third bus had an actual driver guide. Craig was brilliant! Very knowledgeable, told us things not on the audio (such as Stormont) and had a beautiful voice
