Description
Enjoy Belfast your way. On the private tour of Belfast, we will guide you around the city on a tailor-made tour. Choose from the itineraries we offer or call us to design your own.
The private tour of Belfast is a visit completely tailored to your needs. Belfast has a lot to offer: from its political history to a completely unique urban culture. Below, we suggest some routes so you can choose the one you like best. These are Belfast city center, political Belfast, and Belfast for families.
1. Belfast city: starting at the city hall, we will visit its highlights, from the Titanic Memorial to the Cathedral area, where some of its most iconic pubs are located. Along the way, we will visit places such as the famous Europa Hotel, which won the Guinness World Record for being the most bombed hotel in the world.
We'll see some of the murals, such as Spring in Belfast, which depicts the transformation of the city. We'll arrive at Commercial Court, Belfast's Temple area, and head into the Dark Horse to see its courtyard: this place, covered in murals, is the most unique spot in the city. We'll finish up between the Albert Clock and the Big Fish in the port area.
2. Political Belfast: the most unfortunate part of Belfast's history is also the most famous. On this tour, you will learn about the conflict that still divides Catholics and Protestants today. We will visit a Catholic neighborhood known as Falls Road, where we will learn about the causes of the republican struggle and how life here has evolved from the conflict to the present day.
Afterwards, we will cross the wall that separates the two neighborhoods to reach Shankill Road: the Protestant equivalent of the previous neighborhood. Here we will talk about the history of the inhabitants of this area through the memorials to the victims of the IRA and also to their own paramilitaries. We will end by talking about the Peace Agreement. After this, we will return to the center.
3. Belfast tour for families. This tour is designed for children to enjoy: we will tell legends about Belfast from Finn McCool to Galloper Thompson, the Headless Horseman. We will see murals in the city center and prepare games and riddles for the children so that they get to know the city better than anyone else.
Every challenge has its reward: at the end of the tour, we will take them to the oldest candy store in Ireland.
