"We (family with kids) had a lovely Sunday morning tour around Belfast with Alwyn. He was friendly, willing to accommodate to our location and very well prepared (with ear pieces for everyone connected to his mic, really helped to overcome the city noises). He clearly loves what he does, and gave insights to the town, country and its people history. "
"Fun, funny, flexible, and informative. Conor brought the city - and its place in the world - to life! Great way to get both our bearings and insight. Thanks Conor!"
"Conor greeted us with a huge smile and a twinkle in his eye. With a special shot of whiskey, Conor introduced us to Belfast’s wonderful food and drink scene. His intuitive approach, entertaining and charming personality made the whole experience most enjoyable. Conor was a true Irish storyteller! We finished the tour better informed as he was definitely a brilliant ambassador for the City of Belfast."
"What a joy it was to experience Belfast with an enthusiastic and experienced guide. Alwyn walked and talked us through the interesting history of Belfast. His local knowledge and pride were evident in all of the many stories we heard. He was candid and yet very balanced with his perspective about the “troubles”, which was of special interest to us. We can’t recommend him more highly. "

"Alwyn was a fantastic guide during our visit to Belfast. He provided a thorough and insightful history of the city, covering both the Troubles and the surrounding periods with great detail.
Despite the heavy subject matter, Alwyn offered a hopeful outlook for the future, which was refreshing. He also showed us some great local sights and recommended excellent drinking spots.
Highly recommended for anyone wanting a balanced and informative tour of Belfast!

"We really enjoyed our taste and walk with Conor yesterday. My 17 year old grandson said he had the best lemonade, the best crisps, the best hot chocolate EVER! Plus he had the biggest lunch! I also had the best fish chowder! He took us to lots of interesting places telling us history and stories all the way.
He was very helpful and understanding.
Thank you Conor! "
"I had a fantastic morning with Lizzie on a walking tour starting at Belfast City Hall. She is a really nice person who has lived in Belfast her whole life and is extremely knowledgeable about the city. I learned so much in two hours from Lizzie. She answered all my random questions and had stories that she had heard from her dad, her granny and other family members. Later that afternoon I went to the Titanic exhibit and knew so
much to give what I was seeing context as Lizzie had provided immense amounts of information in the morning. I really enjoyed meeting Lizzie and would highly recommend her kick start walking tour. Thank you, Lizzie! "
"On our first day in Belfast we arranged for Conor to walk us around the city center. We really enjoyed meeting Conor who is a warm and fun person and an excellent storyteller.
He has much knowledge about local history and local beverages/food and besides showing us an excellent pub and restaurant we got to see what interested us around the city. On our request he walked us by many murals (both old and new ones). We really appreciated that Conor also made an efford to involve our teenagers like letting them try different potatoe crisps or candy. This is an excursion which is ideal as an afternoon activity. Thank you so much Conor."
"My small group of five met Lizzy on Sunday, April 14, 2024 in front of the City Hall. Lizzy was a delight to tour with in the city of Belfast. She was so informative and we learned so much about the history of Belfast.
We really enjoyed how her family was so intertwined and influential in the city and loved listening to her tell us proudly about her grandfather.
Lizzy was so friendly and she made us feel so welcome. Even when the rain was pelting down on us, Lizzy continued to do her best to provide us with interesting stories about the city both past and present.
She stayed with us when we ducked inside the nearest pub to get out of the rain. She extended her time with us well after the two hour tour was supposed to end.
We were even able to ask her some questions the next day that helped us with our next adventure.
We are so pleased we picked Lizzy and we know that others who tour with her will also have an amazing time with her.
Thank you,
Paulie McGinnis

"We Had a wonderful time with Connor. He is very down-to-earth and was extremely helpful and explaining the culture and the history of this very complicated and historical city. we also enjoyed learning some of the legends in the folklore. We are grateful for our day with Connor. Belfast would have not had the impression on us that it did without him."
