Steven was a great guide for our group of 4 on bikes. We learned so much about Belfast. He’s very knowledgeable. Only wish we had lunch at a local pub, not the fancy hotel.

Steven brought good bikes to navigate the safe roads on a mostly traffic free route. He took us from the modest origins of Belfast to the proud ship building industry and the current state of present history. Templemore Baths and the Titanic slipway are just two of many highlights. This tour is not to be missed. Steven brings thorough knowledge of Belfast and the complex history to the tour, but most of all good companionship. We were enriched in so many ways. Highly recommended.

We had a great morning with Steven around the Titanic area and East Belfast. Steven was really knowledgeable about the area having grown up there. We felt safe on the bikes with his guidance despite not being regular cyclists. A great thing to do with friends or family. Highly recommend!

I’ve never done a cycling tour before, and haven’t really cycled in 5 years. I didn’t know what to expect. But it’s a really interesting a fun activity. You ride while learning about The rich history of the shipyards and east belfast which was excellently explained to us by Steven. Definitely something I’ll do again in future.

A sunny days ride, packed with laughter and information with Steven. We chose this tour to take in the docks & history and Steven’s knowledge about the history and area shines through his passion for local heritage & the people that shaped it. His tour brings to life the evolution of the Titanic dockland area from industrial powerhouse through the barren 70s to the thriving regeneration example of today. Steven is a great guide and you’ll not be disappointed!

We learnt so much about Belfast and its history on this fabulous bike tour with Steven, our very knowledgeable local guide. The actual cycling was fun too as the bikes were well maintained and the route largely traffic free. This was an absolutely top class experience and great value for money as it was by far the best tour that we did during our 3 days in Belfast

A very informative and interesting East Side bike tour with a friendly local who really knew his stuff and spoke clearly. The history of the shipyard/Titanic was particularly fascinating and a great alternative to the crowds at the Titanic museum. We learned so much! It was a cold wet day but still enjoyable, ending with a superb lunch at the Titanic Hotel. Highly recommend!
