What To Expect
Big Fish
Our starting point where the Salmon of Knowledge known locally as the Big Fish (cos its a big fish!) is based on a story of legend and myth. Her scales tell the story of Belfast and its people but also symbolises the links to the River Lagan, shipbuilding and Belfast Lough. Underneath flows a hidden river...the Farset which gives the city its name.
Customs House
Hear of how Belfast punches way above its weight in the age of the industrial revolution and commerce. To its place as a gathering for public meetings to its use now as a fantastic amphitheatre for summer music.

5.00Stephen was a consummate professional and was as flexible as possible with timing since I was one on the tour. He was very informative, sharing Northern Ireland’s complex history in a clear and engaging way. Unreservedly recommended
With Stevie, Belfast isn’t just seen it’s felt.

5.00You don’t just see statues with Stevie - you feel Belfast. You leave understanding it, proud of what the city has become, and mindful of what it has endured. Stevie doesn’t just tell Belfast’s story - he’s lived it. His walk is about the struggle, resilience, and hope of a city reborn. From the Big Fish to City Hall, he brings history alive: Henry Joy McCracken, Thomas McCabe, Mary Ann McCracken, Frederick Douglass, and the chapters shaping Belfast today. With photos and maps in hand, Stevie makes the past personal. You don’t just hear history - you walk through its layers alongside him.
Most educational walking tour I've ever taken
