Not a show off of loads of information which I’m sure our guide had. Enough to hear and remember most of it. Short coffee/comfort break at the theatre was a good idea too. Thank you Mark.”

“Corey did a great job, giving a good introduction about the history of Belfast. He was prompt to respond on WhatsApp and was cheerful despite the dreary weather. It was small group as there were some cancellations due to the wet conditions. He took us around various parts of the town to show various landmarks, and spoke about the history and made it into a fun experience. He took photographs and gave us time to take photos. He finished the tour on time. I learnt a lot about Belfast as a first time visitor, and fell in love with this beautiful city. Highly recommended, especially if you want a more…”
