I am born and bred here in Belfast and have so many connections through my experience and my family. I have an extensive knowledge of the city's history and what makes Belfast people so welcoming...myself included! I love learning from people and considering it a true honour if you experience my tours.

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.

We had an excellent tour of Belfast with Stevie! He was highly knowledgeable, engaging and brought the city’s history and culture to life. The tour was informative, well paced and full of interesting local insights along with a few personal stories of his thrown in for good measure. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Belfast.

Stevie was a wonderful tour guide. Combining both his extensive historical knowledge of Belfast with his personal story made the tour interesting and engaging. We had walked the area beforehand but saw Belfast with a new appreciation when combined with Stevie’s stories. I highly recommend this tour! We also appreciated the early evening time slot which most tour operators do not have.

Very enjoyable tour with Stevie, very knowledgable with his history of Belfast and those who resided here throughout different historical periods. Just the right amount of time and a very poignant finish at the Titanic memorial at Belfast city hall.

Excellent tour by the extremely knowledgeable and humours Stevie. This man sure knows his history of Belfast and keeps the tour light with his lived stories as well as a few good folklore tales thrown in. A nice relaxed pace. Definitely recommend for anyone who wishes to know more about this great city.

We had a fantastic tour of Belfast with Stevie. A wonderful history of Belfast (and Ireland in general) interspersed with his own experiences of recent history, which really brought it to life. We saw some beautiful architecture, each building with it's own story. Can't recommend the tour enough. Thanks Stevie.

Stephen is very knowledgeable and told the history of Belfast in a really interesting, thoughtful, good humoured way with some personal touches about his own family and childhood in Belfast. We thoroughly enjoyed the trip.

Stephen 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
